The 10 Most Common Signs Of Aging Skin (And How To Reverse Them!)

Some things get better with age. Wine, for example, or a nice single malt Scotch. Unfortunately, this is not the case when it comes to your skin. In fact, the opposite is true. As you grow older, your skin begins to break down and signs of aging start to show.

So, what should you be on the lookout for? The skincare experts at SiO Beauty are here to share the 10 most common signs of aging. Then we’ll tell what you really want to know: how to reverse signs of aging and reclaim youthful, radiant skin!

What Causes Your Skin To Age?

Before we go over the most common signs of aging, let’s take a look at what causes your skin to age in the first place.

Here’s a little analogy to help you understand aging skin. Think about the oldest pair of jeans you own. You might be wondering what an old pair of jeans has to do with aging skin, but stick with us for a minute!

Your skin is like that pair of jeans. At first, the denim was nice and tight. It wasn’t faded. It didn’t have any holes or stains. Over time, however, the jeans began to change. The denim became damaged by dozens of trips through the washer and dryer. In some places, like the knees and the hips, the fabric likely started to stain, began to tear and sag, and became discolored.

As you grow older, the same sort of thing happens to your skin. This is because your body struggles to produce enough collagen and elastin, the two proteins that healthy skin needs the most as you age. Without adequate levels of collagen and elastin, your skin becomes thinner and dryer—which leads to wrinkles and other signs of aging.

So as you can see, age definitely takes its toll. Less collagen and elastin makes it difficult to maintain beautiful, youthful skin. Even worse, exposure to the sun’s UV rays causes serious skin damage that accumulates over time. All of these factors in combination will lead to wrinkles, discolored spots, and dullness.

This is exactly why SiO Beauty patches work so well to reverse the effects of aging. They’re clinically proven to eliminate wrinkles and produce visible results overnight.

We tested SiO patches on almost 100 women under the supervision of a dermatologist. Many women saw dramatic wrinkle reduction after just one night! But we didn’t just ask participants how they felt about the results. We also closely examined their skin to what effects SiO patches had on hydration and wrinkle depth. And the results are in! SiO patches get rid of wrinkles by increasing hydration and encouraging collagen production.

The 10 Most Common Signs Of Aging Skin

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are the little wrinkles that form at the corners of your eyes. Caused by smiling or squinting, crow’s feet tend to form earlier than other types of wrinkles. SiO Beauty’s Eye & Smile Lift patches are an excellent remedy for crow’s feet.

Wrinkles Around Your Eyes

In addition to crow’s feet, wrinkles might appear under your eyes or between your eyelids and your eyebrows. You might also notice bags under your eyes, which are a common sign of aging skin.

Age Spots

Another common sign of aging is discolored skin. Oftentimes, the discoloration will be concentrated into small dots. These are called age spots, and they’re simply a result of your skin becoming worn over time.

When caused by extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays, spots of skin discoloration may also be referred to as sunspots. Sunspots are the result of excess melanin production and can occur at any age, although they are more likely to form later in life.

Laugh Lines

Officially referred to as nasolabial folds, laugh lines are the creases that run diagonally from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. These lines are caused by repeated facial expressions and movement.

Droopy Eyelids

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Droopy eyelids are definitely one of the most common signs of aging. The skin on your eyelids is extremely thin, so it’s common for women of a certain age to develop droopy eyelids.

Décolleté Wrinkles

The skin on your décolleté, or the region of your chest below your neck and above your breasts, is notoriously thin. This makes it easier for wrinkles and creases to form from side sleeping, sunbathing, and natural aging. While décolleté wrinkles are a common sign of aging, they can be easily reversed with SiO Beauty's décolleté-smoothing SkinPads.

Frown Lines

Frown lines are the wrinkles that appear between your eyebrows and on your forehead. When two vertical lines form between your eyes, they’re called “the 11s.” Although they’re known as frown lines, these wrinkles can be caused by anything from laughing or smiling to squinting and frowning.

Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles, or brow furrows, are yet another one of the most common signs of aging. Luckily, getting rid of forehead wrinkles is a breeze with SiO Beauty's BrowLift patches.

Loose Skin On Your Cheeks And Along Your Jawline

As the elastin in your skin cells begins to break down, your skin may sag. Your lower cheeks and jawline are particularly susceptible to droopy skin. When sagging occurs along your jawline, the condition is referred to as jowls.

Crepey Skin

Crepey skin is the term for dry, coarse skin that feels rough to the touch. It’s sometimes called “elephant skin.” You can probably imagine why. Crepey skin is caused by low levels of elastin coupled with repeated stretching.

How To Reverse The Signs Of Aging Skin

SiO Beauty patches are by far the best defense against the signs of aging. So if you’re looking for the most effective way to naturally rejuvenate your skin, you’ve found it!

SiO Beauty patches are made from a medical-grade silicone that works wonders for your skin. It creates a microclimate between the surface of your skin and the patch that boosts collagen production and enhances moisture retention. When you wear SiO patches, your skin will become smoother, firmer, and plumper overnight. This means fewer wrinkles and creases—just gorgeous, younger-looking skin.

SiO Beauty’s medical adviser, an NYC dermatologist named Dr. Dendy Engelman, has plenty of experience treating women with aging skin. “Overall,” says Dr. Dendy, “after using the SiO SkinPad for just one day, participants said that their skin looked smoother, softer, more youthful, and hydrated.”

3 Simple Steps To Fight The Signs Of Aging Skin

Looking for a little extra firepower in the battle against aging skin? These three simple steps will help you defeat the signs of aging and take back your glamorous, glowing skin.

1. Get Your Beauty Sleep

It’s surprising how often this gets overlooked! Beauty sleep makes a huge difference in your skin’s appearance. Here are a few nighttime tips to reverse the signs of aging skin:

• Get at least six hours of sleep every night, but try to get seven or eight hours if you can.
• Sleep on your back to avoid scrunching up the skin on your face and chest.
• Use smooth, satin sheets to reduce the amount of friction between your skin and the fabric.

2. Take Great Care Of Your Skin

This step may seem a bit obvious, but we want to remind you just how important it is. Taking great care of your skin will definitely help reduce the signs of aging! Here’s what you can do:

• Be gentle when washing your face and body
• Use a soft towel to dry your skin
• Always pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it
• Use cleansers to wash your face, as soaps can be unnecessarily harsh
• Use lukewarm water because water that’s too hot will dry out your skin
• Keep your showers as short as possible, and don’t shower twice a day unless you really need to. Frequently washing and drying your skin can cause your skin to become dehydrated
• Moisturize your skin several times a day, especially in the morning and at night
• Exfoliate your face once or twice a week
• Apply sunscreen to your face and neck at least once a day

 

3. Maintain A Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is essential in the fight against all forms of aging, not just the signs of aging skin. Follow these tips to make sure you’re maintaining a healthy diet:

• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and veggies
• Drink at least 64 ounces of water every day
• Try to eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, avocado, almonds, etc.)
• Take a daily multivitamin
• Drink alcohol in moderation.
• Don’t smoke. Quit immediately if you do!

Even though your skin may not age like wine, it doesn’t mean that it has to turn into a raisin. With SiO Beauty patches and the three simple steps we’ve explained, you can turn back the clock and have the beautiful, younger-looking skin you’ve been wishing for!
