How the Face Ages
30-50 YEARS
|
 |
|
Skin
- The skin tends to develop areas of mild mixed pigmentation and there is a moderate decrease in its thickness
Gravitational lines
- The eyebrow descends slightly and the upper eyelid can become heavier
- The prominence of the cheek moves downwards producing an elongation in the height of the lower eyelid
- The nasolabial lines coming downwards from below the side of the nose to the side of the mouth deepen
- The jaw line can become less defined with the early formation of jowls
Active lines
- Lines caused by contraction of the underlying muscles deepen. These are located in:
+ The frown areas between the eyebrows
+ Across the forehead
+ In the crows feet area
Volume
- The lower part of the face begins to loose volume particularly around the mouth and lips
