The area around the eyes, specifically the corners, often shows the first signs of aging. Fine lines, commonly called "crows feet," appear here due to the frequent movement of facial muscles during expressions.
Areas Showing Early Signs of Aging:
-
Eyes: Fine lines and wrinkles (crow's feet) at the corners of the eyes are frequently the first visible signs of aging. [1, 3, 5, 9, 10] The high level of muscle activity in this area contributes to their early development.
-
Mouth: The corners of the mouth can also show early signs of aging, with the edges turning downward. [2]
-
Forehead and Glabellar Area: Wrinkles appear in these areas as we age. [3]
While the neck also exhibits thin skin, making it prone to aging, the face, particularly the eye area, typically demonstrates visible signs of aging first. [4] Note that the rate and specific locations of aging vary between individuals.
