aging skin
Time-worn dermis
Aging skin refers to skin showing the effects of time—wrinkles, sagging, age spots, dryness, and loss of elasticity.
The term appears constantly in skincare marketing, which treats aging as a problem to combat: products for aging skin, tips to protect aging skin from sun damage.
The phrase sometimes carries clinical neutrality, sometimes anxiety about appearance.
