When Does Aging Really Begin?
Uncover the real timeline of aging — and what to do before the signs appear.
Your Skin Has a Clock — And It Starts Sooner Than You Think
Most people think aging starts in their 40s — but biologically, it begins much earlier. By your mid-20s, collagen production already starts to slow, and subtle changes begin in the deeper layers of your skin before you ever see a wrinkle.
Key Stats:
- Collagen production declines ~1% every year after age 25
- Elastin production essentially stops after puberty
- Skin hydration and cell turnover begin to drop by age 30
This means preventative care isn’t a luxury — it’s the key to long-term youthfulness.
