Skin Care By Age
Do you realize that your skin is actually an organ? Skin is not just the wrapping paper we were delivered in into this world. Skin has a surface area of around 22 square feet (2 square meters) and is the largest organ in the human body with a tough mission to protect the body from the surrounding environment. As any other organ in our body, our skin ages. Due to its constant exposure to the elements, when not taken care of, skin ages prematurely and sooner than the rest of the body.

According to a celebrity LA Dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad, another common problem for this age is rosacea, an inflammation that dilates blood vessels below skin’s surface.

Skin Care from the 40s and above
In your 40s and 50s your skin will become dryer and will continue changing its texture - skin will start thinning a bit more. Due to the collagen breaking down you will develop more fine lines. You may also notice that your skin is loosing its tightness and you can observe more signs of photoaging like spots, blotches, freckles, discoloration etc. Facial tone will appear duller and your pores may become more visible. In your late 40s - early/mid 50s your skin condition will be influenced by premenapause and menopause changes in your body. The loss of estrogen and progesterone will worsen the symptoms described above. That is, unfortunately, the bad news. But the good news is that there is a lot that can be done about it.
