Signs of ageing to look out for

1. BAGGY UPPER EYELID SKIN

The eyes are the most expressive part of your body. With ageing your eyes can appear hooded and heavy, making you look tired all of the time. In its early stages, excess eyelid skin can even affect your makeup routine – eye shadow and eyeliner – no longer look the way they used to.

2. LOWER EYELID BAGS

This is similar to the previous sign of ageing ­– it is so hard to avoid and to cover up. With this one as well, the bags under your eyes make you look like you’ve been up all night, even if you slept like a baby. If you naturally have dark circles under your eyes this can emphasis your tired appearance.

3. DEEP NASOLABIAL FOLDS (LAUGH LINES)

This might be the most unfortunate sign of ageing. All the years of smiling and laughing have turned on you. These deep folds running between your nose and mouth can be challenging to treat and can have a profound effect on your appearance.

4. JOWLS

As the facial tissues droop with age they can overhang the jaw line and produce the appearance of jowls. That sharp jawline of your youth becomes softer and less defined, the drooping tissues change your face from a youthful oval shape to a square aged appearance.

5. NECK LAXITY (TURKEY NECK)

The skin on the neck can get particularly saggy and wrinkly with age. Sometimes these issues can even create the appearance of a double chin. Your beautiful necklaces may not look quite the same when framed by the aged appearance of your neck.
