I’m turning 40 this year, and I’m noticing that the nicks and cuts I’m used to getting which have always healed really quickly are leaving more scars and lasting longer than they have in the past. Im outdoors active, and accrue more than a few cuts often on my lower legs. Is this a natural part of growing old, which is in line with my observations of my parents’ skin as well, or am I not caring for my skin well?

Completely anecdotal, but last year I noticed I was accumulating injuries faster than they were healing(moving is a bitch) and that improved when I started eating more gelatin (real jello) and taking a biotin supplement. This spring I started taking them again when I noticed the same thing happening and it seems to be working.
You can get biotin gummies labeled as hair, skin & nails or sometimes just a “beauty”
