Mature Skin Ageing – Skincare Tips, Treatments & Advice

In our late 30s or early 40s, fine lines around the eyes and mouth become more visible. Deeper wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and volume on the face occur. The skin may be dry, and dehydrated, with a dull, uneven tone lacking youthful radiance. Brown sun spots, known as photodamage, can also be present due to excessive sun exposure.
