Skin Treatment

Version
1.0
As you age, your skin undergoes progressive changes:
The cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer of
skin (the dermis) starts to thin.
Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to shrink. In
addition, the ability of the skin to repair itself
decreases with age, so wounds heal more slowly.
The thinning skin becomes vulnerable to injuries and
damage. The deeper layer of the skin, which provides
scaffolding for the surface skin layers, loosens and
unravels.
Skin then loses its elasticity (ability to stretch).
When pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial
position. Instead, older skin sags and forms furrows.
The sweat- and oil-secreting glands atrophy (waste
away), leaving the skin without a protective layer of
water and fat. The skin's ability to stay moisturized
then decreases, and it becomes dry and scaly. Frown
lines (those between the eyebrows) and crow's feet
(lines that spread from the corners of the eyes) appear
to develop because of permanent small muscle contractions.
Habitual facial expressions also form characteristic
lines. Gravity makes the situation worse, contributing
to the formation of jowls and drooping eyelids. This is
