If you feel like your skin has not been as it was before, you're not alone.
At one point, everyone (yes, everyone!) will have to go through aging and see the signs of it on their skin. While that fact may seem like a looming, visual warning of what's to come as we age, we still want to welcome the beautiful journey while being in peace with what will inevitably happen to our skin. In short, we're opening our arms to aging, no more obsessing over the chase for the fountain of youth. We're finding ways to adapt to our skin and thank it with the best treatments and products.
First thing's first, though, let's break down what skin-aging means, the first signs, and what we can do about it (should we decide to do something!)
What exactly is skin-aging?

Much like a cycle, our skin goes through its unique process. During the early parts of our journey, our collagen production is more generous, and skin healing is a little more active. As we progress through, these processes could slow down. This stage is when we may start to notice lines forming and our skin feeling less taut due to a slowing down of collagen production. With skin becoming a little looser, we may also begin seeing our pores look more noticeable.
Although we thought hormones are only active during our pre-teens to 20s, they can still be very active. Fluctuating hormones could still lead to breakouts which may become tougher to deal with as our skin healing or cell turnover process begins to slow down— making dull skin and rough skin texture a few things we may encounter as we age.
Internal factors are the biggest reasons behind skin aging, but stress, environmental changes, sun damage, and pollution could still add to the mix!
The round-up: Aging skin shows the visual signs of our skin processes slowing down or high hormone fluctuations. Less active collagen production could lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and looser skin. Skin aging could also mean breakouts, more stubborn marks & scars, and dull skin.
Can I avoid the signs of skin aging? What can I do to stop it?

Although we can't put a stop to skin aging, we can find ways to make us feel more confident in embracing the journey or feel at peace with the signs of aging. We can't entirely avoid the signs of skin aging, but we can do our best to slow it down or reduce the appearance of it (if we ever decide to do so!) With the right blend of products and treatments that are built and made specifically to be effective but gentle so as not to put additional stress on the skin, you’ll be able to slowly but surely work on your skin goals.
The round-up: We can’t put a stop to the signs of skin aging, but we can always slow it down or reduce its appearance by finding the best blend of products and treatments to adapt to your changing skin.
What's the best way to approach aging skin?

Approaching skin aging is a multi-faceted journey. The first step is always understanding that at one point, skin aging will be a universal experience even to the well-versed skincare lover. By accepting that fact, we become a little kinder to ourselves— giving less space to scramble for the ultimate antidote for aging and more time to enjoy the beauty of going through life.
Once we go through that step, finding the best treatments and products becomes a little easier as we now set our expectations to something more achievable yet doable. If you decide to deal with the signs of aging now, it's finding peace with knowing we could only slow down the signs of aging but not ultimately avoid it. If we decide on it a little later, we know we could reduce the appearance of aging but not reverse it completely.
If we decide on these steps, no matter how far along we are with our journey, it's best to take it the easy, sure-fire way with effective treatments for skin aging. Take the simple, easy, effective way with us.
