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?

As you’ve said, you are active outdoors. Meaning you probably get a bit of sun and sun is tough on our skin. This could have something to do with it.
Also age has a lot to do with it, you’re not old but your skin isn’t 20 anymore and add sun exposure the health of your akin could be 5 to 10 years ahead of your actual age.
Keep your skin moisturized and wear sun screen this will help preserve your skin health in the long run.
