Its features are worth studying for all beauties, because with age, even normal skin will get thinner.
The covers are composed of 3 main layers:
- the epidermis, which performs protective functions;
- dermis containing collagen, blood vessels, muscles, nerves;
- hypodermis, which is a fatty layer.
The upper layer of the epidermis serves as a barrier to bacteria and viruses, at the same time keeping necessary water... You work on it by applying moisturizers that prevent micro-cracking and reduce the risk of infection.
The features of the next layer, the dermis, in most cases determine the thickness of the skin. Geneticists argue that heredity remains a decisive factor here: even if you do not yet suffer from cosmetic problems, the presence of a mesh of veins on the bends of the elbows and on the back of the palms suggests that care should be given special attention. If you do not take action, then the skin on the face will quickly lose its youth.

Here's how to care for your delicate skin, including the eye area. There are many restrictions and nuances, but if you keep them in mind and observe them, there will be much fewer problems.
The epidermis will stop violently reacting with a rash to any external aggression, the complexion will improve, and there will be much less peeling, because the water balance in the cells will be restored. And to support this effect correctly selected cosmetics will help.
On a note. It is necessary to distinguish between the type of skin, if it is thin and sensitive, from atrophy of the epidermis, when it becomes thinner due to aging or some serious diseases.
