Skin Matters

This is the age of denial.

You deny the evidence you see of the gradual break-down of collagen and elastin. This is when your skin becomes slightly less elastic and begins to lose its firm, supple texture. The sebaceous glands usually become less active and produce less sebum. If you have neglected to moisturize and protect your skin, you may begin to notice those increasing dry areas. Your cell turnover rate is slowing which causes the surface of your skin to begin looking dull.

You ignore the appearance of laugh lines, crow's feet, and the beginning of a double-chin. You secretly notice those little signs of brown spots and uneven color blotches that appear on your skin.
