Facts About Aging Skin
- Changes in the skin inevitable happen as years pass.
- Skin is not immune to the law of gravity.
- Collagen and elastin production slows down a dramatic 65% between the ages of 20 and 80 years old.
- The thickness of the skin decreases a staggering 6% every 10 years.
- 90% of the visible signs of aging are caused by sunlight exposure.
- TWENTIES: wrinkles first appear around the eyes and lips.
- THIRTIES: skin becomes less resilient as elastin declines, allowing gravity to begin to have its way.
- FORTIES: as elasticity begins to diminish, skin loses its memory and becomes less able to snap back. Repetitive movements such as frowns and squinting, as well as smoking , form the first permanent wrinkles.
- FIFTIES: normal aging changes become more apparent; gravity is certainly a factor. Gravity combines with the decrease in collagen and elastin, causing skin and muscle to sag.
- SIXTIES: hormonal activities have ceased to be a problem, and, as such, the skin is loose and sagging. If the skin has not been protected, lines, wrinkles, and dark spots develop.

Fall has arrived, so changing our skin care routine is a must! Due to cooler temperatures, and harsher winds, our skin can become more sensitive and more likely to become dry, tight and irritated. So, invest in a good Hydrating Facial Moisturizer to help prevent water loss, and aid in restoring moisture balance and elasticity to the outer layer of your skin.

Fall Skincare Tip
Protect Your Lips! Start moisturizing early to prevent cracked & chapped lips this winter. I suggest using a non-petroleum based lip balm as it has been found that petroleum based products can have a drying effect on your lips. Find moisturizers that contain lanolin or beeswax which helps to seal moisture in. Other good ingredients to look for in lips products are jojoba oil, shea butter avocado oil, and mango oil!
