With age, the skin becomes thinner. It loses its tone and elasticity. Fat loss, combined with the relaxation of elastic fibers, causes various changes to the face: it loses volume, its contours become less well defined and folds appear. For example, the cheekbones flatten and reveal hollows, highlighting the bony contours. All these changes, synonymous with a loss of youth , can be difficult to accept.

[BLOCK-ARTICLE-PRODUCT-LIST] Skin changes at age 40 As we enter our forties , our skin undergoes a series of significant changes. The face is an area where these changes are often most visible. Here are the main signs of skin aging : Loss of collagen and elasticity . These two elements are essential proteins that maintain the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less of these substances. This generally results in a loss of firmness , wrinkles and sagging skin, especially around the cheeks, jawline and chin. The oval of the face is also altered by the effects of time. This decrease in the density of collagen and elastin is one of the main characteristics of skin aging. Appearance of fine lines and wrinkles . These begin to become more pronounced after age 40. Repeated facial expressions over the years, combined with the loss of collagen and elastin, contribute to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines , forehead wrinkles and crow's feet. In addition, decreased sebum production can lead to drier skin, making wrinkles even more apparent. Uneven pigmentation . Uneven pigmentation, including dark spots or age spots, can also become more noticeable after age 40. This is often due to prolonged sun exposure throughout life, which leads to a buildup of UV damage . Melanin production can become uneven, resulting in hyperpigmentation on certain areas of the face. Thinning skin . Facial skin tends to thin with age, due to decreased collagen production and atrophy of subcutaneous fat cells. This can make blood vessels more visible, giving the skin a more translucent appearance. Additionally, thinning skin can make it more prone to UV damage, injury, and bruising.

Vitamin C Also called ascorbic acid, vitamin C is mainly known for its energizing and lightening effect in favor of skin radiance. In terms of skin aging , a powerful antioxidant, it is illustrated by an anti-dark spot action and a stimulation of the production of collagen and elastin.
