3. You Can Develop Dark Spots
Dark spots occur when an area of your skin produces more melanin than normal – a phenomenon known as hyperpigmentation in the medical field. Don’t worry, dark spots are not dangerous and don’t require any kind of treatment. However, they might be an aesthetical problem for some people – especially when they appear on the face, which is actually one of the most common areas. Causes of dark spots include sun damage, hormonal changes, irritation, and inflammation. They are also a known side effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and psychotropic drugs. There are dermatological procedures, prescription remedies, and natural remedies that can effectively remove dark spots and make your skin look even again. Talk to your doctor or a dermatologist to see what is the best option for your specific case.
4. Your Skin Type Might Change
As you know, there are several different skin types: normal, dry, oily, sensitive, and combination (when you have two or more different skin types on the face). The later is actually the most common one. What you may not know is that your skin type can change due to environmental factors, a hormonal imbalance, or simply as part of the aging process. It’s important to properly identify this change and switch your skincare products accordingly.
5. Your Skin Starts To Age In Your 20s
If you think that you only need to worry about your skin by the time you turn 40, think again. The aging process starts well within your twenties when your skin collagen levels begin slowly and gradually decreasing – about 1% less collagen is produced each year. You probably have already noticed that many anti-aging skincare products contain a collagen supplement. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, and it is responsible for providing structure to the bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin. The only thing you can do to slow down skin aging is taking good care of your skin. We will tell you exactly how at the end of this article.
