Yes, age does make it harder. Your brain ages, just like your body, and as it does, you will have less of the biological factors that can help with lucidity.
HOWEVER, you can still be an amazing lucid dreamer should you practice consistently. The skills that you need to build are in your hands, not time's hands.
ALSO, you can help yourself out by eating a diet rich in antioxidants that will help reduce oxidative stress in your brain, essentially slowing the brain's aging process. Some good foods/herbs for the brain are:
Wild Blueberries (1-2 cups a day)
Ashwagandha (scientific studies support it as a natural nootropic)
Green tea (LOTS of science supports this one, caffeine + L-theanine are synergistic and amazing for your brain)
Turmeric / Curcumin (science supports, use a supplement or consume with black pepper)
Apigenin (found in chamomile or parsley, I use chamomile nightly, scientific studies are emerging)
Pomegranate juice (in moderation, science is emerging)
Fatty fish w/ omega 3's (sardines are like the best food in the world as far as nutrition goes, if you ask me. Careful with larger fish as they have more mercury)
English Walnuts (omega 3's)
Eggs (choline)
Lion's Mane mushroom
Lastly, physical exercise on a regular basis will help keep your brain fit and young, as will regularly doing mentally challenging activities (games ).
Good luck
