Detailed explanation-1: -In adults, it takes between 28 and 42 days. In those age 50 and older, the skin renewal process can take up to 84 days. With age, it takes longer for your skin to repair and replace the damaged cells, hence the more built-up dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Skin cell renewal varies from person to person, but to give you an idea – in babies, skin cell renewal takes around 14 days. For teenagers, it’s around 28 days. In middle age, it takes between 28-42 days. And for 50 plus, it can be up to 84 days.
Detailed explanation-3: -Skin Cell Turnover As We Age A middle-aged adult is estimated to have a skin cycle of about 28 days. As we grow older this cycle slows down to about 45-60 days in our 40’s and 50’s. It can slow even more to about 60-90 days in our 50’s and 60’s.
