Our face goes through various changes throughout life, but the most intense ones are usually seen between the ages of 40 and 50. During this period, the skin begins to lose its elasticity and firmness, due to the reduced production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep the skin young and firm.

Also, the redistribution of facial fat intensifies the appearance of wrinkles and sagging, while volume is reduced in areas such as the cheekbones and cheeks. Hormonal changes, especially during menopause, can also affect skin texture, making it drier and less elastic. In addition, external factors such as sun exposure and pollution can accelerate skin aging, making it more vulnerable to wear and tear.

Although these changes are normal, they can vary from person to person, depending on genetic predisposition, skin care habits and lifestyle.

Adopting an anti-aging routine early on, such as using sunscreen, eating right and staying hydrated, can help slow the effects of these changes and keep skin looking good for longer.
