Once we reach our 40s, we might notice that our skin suddenly looks more tired or uneven – even if we haven’t changed our skincare routine or lifestyle.
According to award-winning aesthetic nurse, Alexandra Mills, who has worked in aesthetic medicine for over a decade, it’s around now that we see the first significant shifts, as collagen production starts to slow and cell turnover becomes less efficient. She says, “Those little lines might start to deepen, while subtle changes in firmness, brightness and facial volume often begin to emerge around the cheeks, eyes and jawline. Hormonal fluctuations and years of accumulated sun exposure may also contribute to dullness, uneven tone and skin that looks more tired or less radiant than before”.
