This results in the formation of age spots, uneven tone, and a sallow color. Even though we may feel healthy, this pigment change often creates an unhealthy look. Aging near the eyes usually appears first and is often the most severe. This is partially due to the fact that the skin around the eyes is thinner, it has fewer oil glands, and as time passes, gravity pulls the eyebrows and eyelids down. The constant movement of the skin from blinking and squinting further enhances this early aging effect.
Stress causes facial muscles to become tense and pull the skin unevenly.
Over a period of many years this can cause crows feet around the eyes, frown lines between the brows, and wrinkles on the forehead. Skin dehydration is a factor, which is commonly overlooked. Two of the most common culprits are alcohol and caffeine, which diminish the body's ability to retain water resulting in dryer wrinkled skin. For years we've been hearing reports in the media about the importance of wearing sunblock because of the risk of various forms of skin cancer. What most men aren't aware of is how quickly the sun can age their skin.
