4 Signs your face is starting to age faster than it should

While we accept the reality that our skin will age through time, it’s possible that signs of skin aging can already show up during our twenties. Most of these physical changes are harmless but they can make us feel uncomfortable and even affect our confidence. Changing our lifestyle and habits as soon as we detect early signs of skin aging means we can enjoy our youthful looks for longer.

However, here are 4 signs your face is starting to age faster than it should

1) Your lips are getting thinnerThese changes are a result of your skin losing its elastin and collagen over time. As collagen levels begin to drop, you will notice your skin starting to droop, including your lips looking thinner. It can also be caused by dehydration, frequent use of straws, excessive sun exposure, and a lack of vitamin C.

In simpler terms, your lips are prone to aging too. Thinning is part of aging.

2) Your eyelids start to droopDroopy eyelids are a sign of aging. You might not realize your eyelids are drooping at first, because the aging process is gradual, but you might notice your reflection looking older and more tired than you’re used to.

3) You have puffy eyes that never seem to go awayMild swelling or puffiness under the eyes — are common as you age. With aging, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids, weaken. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy.

4) You have sun spotsSkin ageing is going to happen – but lifestyle and environmental factors can make you appear older than you are. For example, you know the sun can harm your skin, but this damage can actually age your skin’s appearance with unsightly brown patches.

Much of the damage that causes sun spots is UV-induced, but hormones can fuel spots and splotches too
