Facial aging is a continuous process throughout life.
You usually begin to notice its effects in your 20s when fine wrinkles, light blemishes, and sun spots begin to appear. You may also notice changes in the texture and firmness of your skin.
Collagen loss — a primary factor in facial aging
As aging progresses, more wrinkles and lines appear, and they deepen over time. Your skin continues to change in texture and color, and begins to sag. These processes continue throughout your life. They are a result of the aging of the skin, the reduction in
collagen, and the underlying structures such as bones.
Facial aging can also cause you to think differently of yourself, resulting in emotional and psychological changes. You may feel depressed or less secure.
