If wrinkles have become severe ‘here’ on the face… Signs that skin aging has begun

The area around the eyes is the part of the face where wrinkles first appear, and if the wrinkles around the eyes become worse, it may be a sign that the skin is starting to age. / Photo = Clip Art Korea As you get older, you can feel your skin becoming drier and less elastic. It is natural for skin to age over time, but aging can be slowed if you recognize the signs of aging and take consistent care. Let’s look at three typical signs of skin aging.
◇Wrinkles under the eyes
Wrinkles under the eyes are a symbol of aging. This is because the area around the eyes is the part of the face where wrinkles first appear. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest of all areas of the body, so aging symptoms appear first. Additionally, the sebaceous glands under the eyes are not developed, so they dry out easily and wrinkles form easily. For areas around the eyes where wrinkles tend to occur, the most basic exercise is to look at both sides of your eyes alternately and move them as wide as possible. Massaging by gently pressing from the inner corner of the hand outward with your fingers also promotes circulation and relaxes the muscles. Eye cream is also the best cosmetic for the skin around the eyes. However, since eye cream contains a lot of oil, it is best to avoid applying eye cream to the entire face.
◇Decreased skin elasticity
When skin elasticity decreases due to aging, wrinkles are likely to form. In fact, collagen decreases as we age. Collagen makes up 90% of the dermal layer of the skin, but it decreases by 1% every year starting in the mid-20s. In particular, continuous exposure to strong UV rays, high daily temperature ranges, and dry environments leads to a lack of collagen, reducing skin elasticity and accelerating the aging process. In fact, a study conducted by Seoul National University Hospital found that people who are exposed to sunlight for 5 hours a day have a 4.8 times higher risk of skin aging than people who see sunlight for an average of 1 to 2 hours a day. To increase skin elasticity, it is good to drink a lot of water. Replenishing moisture improves blood circulation and clears the skin. It is also important to apply sunscreen when going out to block ultraviolet rays, which reduce skin elasticity and accelerate aging.
◇Decreased wound healing ability
When a wound occurs on the skin, skin cells begin dividing to fill the damage to the tissue in that area. In this process, damaged skin tissue is regenerated to its original state. However, as we age, the growth rate of skin cells slows down, and wound healing naturally slows down. This is why new skin does not grow well when a wound occurs and why scars do not disappear easily.
