Your lips are getting thinner.
Noticing your lips thinning in your twenties could indicate that your skin is aging faster than usual. This may primarily be due to a reduction in collagen in your lips. Other factors include dehydration, regular use of straws, too much sun exposure, and insufficient vitamin C intake.
Your skin gets damaged easily.
Our skin may be aging more rapidly than we realize if we notice bruises that appear without any known cause. This is often due to our skin becoming thinner, which makes it more susceptible to bruising and delays the healing process of wounds. Regularly moisturizing can help mitigate this issue.
The texture of your skin turns papery.
Prolonged exposure to the sun without sunscreen is a significant cause of this issue. The damage occurs due to the degradation of elastin, which enables our skin to stretch and revert to its original shape. Additionally, frequent users of tanning beds are at a higher risk of experiencing this damage.
Your eyelids start to droop.
If you find yourself rubbing your eyes excessively and notice your eyelids beginning to droop, it may be time to stop. This condition, known as ptosis, can also result from the frequent use of hard contact lenses or may be a side effect of recent eye surgery.
The tip of your nose has changed in shape.
For many individuals, the shape of the nose naturally changes in their forties. However, premature skin aging from sun damage can accelerate this process, often leading to distress. Fortunately, contemporary rhinoplasty techniques are minimally invasive and yield consistent, natural-looking outcomes.
You see a lot of red moles on your face.
Red moles, also known as cherry angiomas, are commonly found in individuals over 30 years of age, with a higher frequency in those over 40. While these red spots are not harmful, removal options are available for those who wish to do so, including cryosurgery and laser surgery.
You have little bumps on your face.
These small white bumps, known as milia, typically emerge around the nose and cheeks. They can form when the skin's natural exfoliation process slows down. Overusing products such as steroid creams may accelerate skin aging and contribute to the development of milia.
You have puffy eyes that never seem to go away.
Puffy eyes are often disregarded as a common issue that begins in our twenties, rather than a sign of premature skin aging. Besides lack of sleep, fluid accumulation around the eyes is another cause of puffiness. Reducing salty food intake can help mitigate this by preventing excess water retention in the area around the eyes.
