Age-related changes: As we age, many changes can occur to our skin. What happens to any individual is dependent on their history of smoking, sun exposure, use of drugs or other substances, skin color, and genetic makeup. Women in their 40's also begin to notice changes with alterations in their menstrual cycle; this is normal.
