Question:
How do I know if my skin is aging well or not?
Answer:
Skin aging varies widely from one person to the next. The most common signs that people perceive as indications of skin aging are wrinkles and uneven skin tones. Wrinkling of the skin is a normal part of the aging process but can be worsened by things such as sun exposure and smoking. Uneven skin tones are frequently caused by sun exposure. A quick way to evaluate how much your skin has aged is to compare the skin on your face to skin “where the sun doesn’t shine,” such as on your buttocks. You will notice that non-sun exposed skin tends to be plumper and have more even skin tones.
