Your skin at 20, 30, 40 and 50
continued from page 1
Your thirties
What to expect: 'Ageing really begins at 30', says Dr Brademas. More fine lines develop as collagen and elastin start to break down, and our delicate skin under the eyes begins to thin. She warns that you're likely to have 'combination skin' that's oily in the T-zone (across the forehead and down the nose and chin) and dry elsewhere, but as a general rule, all skins tend to become drier, quicker. Broken veins may start to show up as tiny red dots, and towards the end of this decade, age spots and brown pigmentation marks, or 'sun spots', may appear. Even sleep starts to affect the way we look. According to Dr Klein, 'The lines from your nose to mouth will run deeper on the side you sleep on, and that particular corner of your mouth will look longer'. If you're skeptical, just look in the mirror and see what he means. Under-eye puffiness may become a problem, too, taking longer to subside after you wake.
