Skin: Changes to Expect in Your 50s
Did you know that certain anti-aging skin care products help make damaged skin cells vanish? Read on for more...
After age 50, as the production of collagen within it slows, skin becomes less taut and elastic.
Some men, and especially women, find that their skin may change in texture and relative moisture. Some women find that their skin is drier and thinner after they've reached menopause. The degree of dryness and wrinkles in 50s skin is influenced by lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking, water intake, as well as reduced estrogen levels. (Translation: if you tanned and partied throughout the previous decades, your skin may look more wrinkled and older than the skin of someone who never succumbed to festivities of yesteryear.)
In the 50s, some women may also find that their skin has evolved into a
combination skin type. This means that their skin has become oilier in the
chin, nose and forehead zone, while their cheeks are drier. Using SPF 20
moisturizer will help control dry skin and prevent wrinkles.
