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?

Think of our skin like a rubber band and just like a rubber band that’s 10 years old, it starts becoming brittle, stale, stiff, and difficult to return to its original state.
