Aging skin

You splashed cold water on your face, got your eight hours, and still those dark circles refused to leave. Sound familiar?

Crepey skin sneaks up on you. One day, your arms look fine, and the next, you notice your skin has that thin, papery texture, like tissue paper that got wet and dried out.

You’ve probably seen someone wearing what looks like a sci-fi helmet on a Tuesday morning and thought, “What on earth is that?” That person isn’t training for a space mission.

Most people don’t realize their moisturizer is working against them until the damage already shows up in the mirror. That’s not a scare tactic; it’s what dermatologists say happens when people pick moisturizers based on smell or packaging instead of ingredients. Your skin loses about 1% of its collagen every year after age 20, according … Read more
