Mature skin

Appearance

  • The skin becomes additionally dry with age
  • The eye sockets appear sunken (due to the loss of subcutaneous fat)
  • The skin appears thinner
  • The skin no longer looks as "padded"
  • Certain areas of the skin become saggy
  • Wrinkles form around the eyes
  • Smile lines form around the mouth
  • The changes in the body and especially in the skin cells are usually particularly noticeable in the face, neck, and décolletage (where the fatty tissue is particularly sparse)
  • Frowning forms fine lines on the forehead
  • The protective barrier (acid mantle) is also no longer as effective because sebum production decreases
  • The skin becomes more sensitive
