8 ASCP Fine Lines In Your 30s Cell turnover slows down. The epidermal cells may suffer more from environmental damage, but the wrinkles still may not be visible. The dermis begins to lose some volume and bounce, collagen fibers aren't as efficiently meshed, and elastin coils are less tight. At the spa: Your esthetician should address early signs of visible aging and restore the moisture barrier with a thorough facial once a month. This should include a deep cleansing and rehydrating series of masks to renew and revitalize the appearance of the skin. At home: Augment your program with a weekly sheet mask that includes hexapeptides, chrysin, and sweet almond seed extract to help restore the appearance of tone, decrease the appearance of fine lines, and hydrate. In Your 40s Sebum production is reduced and the stratum corneum thickens from slower desquamation. Darker pigmentation may appear due to environmental damage. Expression lines deepen and dilated veins may appear. At the spa: Ask for skin treatments like gotu kola, bellis daisy, licorice extract, and willow bark extracts to help brighten the skin. These treatments can be combined with an exfoliating glycolic peel to slough off dead skin cells. Reinforce the monthly brightening treatment with a clay-based express mask to help maintain the skin's luminosity.
