Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Collagen production starts to decline around 25 years of age, decreasing approximately 1-2% per year afterwards. Skin noticeably starts to lose its elasticity in your 30s to 40s and particularly in the first five years of menopause when women’s skin loses around 30% of its collagen.

Detailed explanation-2: -In your 30s, you may start to see the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Your skin will also become drier and less elastic. This is a result of the natural aging process, which contributes to a decrease in collagen production.

Detailed explanation-3: -In your thirties, you may start to see irregular pigmentation and broken blood vessels, especially if you are a sun worshiper or have an active outdoor life. Fine lines start to appear around the eyes as crow’s feet and lines between the nose and mouth as “smile” lines. Forehead and frown lines may occur.
