Skin Aging

Aging is caused by more than a few wrinkles and is influenced by a couple of factors. The first being the natural occurrence of growing older and your inherited genes and the second being various external / internal factors.

As we age certain physiological changes happen, and apart from the aches and pains we may feel in our bodies, the skin also ages, with resultant collagen production slowing down and the elastin in the skin no longer being as robust as before.

The skin's 'turnover' and growth, with old skin cells being shed, gets slower and the skin does not look as vital as it did in your early twenties, with supportive tissue and underlying fat reducing at a steady rate.

These aging factors normally start to happen in our mid-twenties, yet it takes a good many years to manifest its damage, and for that reason, following a good skin care regimen from an early age is most advisable.

When this damage starts to appear it can manifest in a variety of ways and will include fine lines and wrinkles, as well as a thinner, drier and more easily damaged skin.

Although genetic predisposition plays a part in the rate at which you will age normally, external factors will greatly contribute to the 'look' you have in later years.

External factors, like the sun, will greatly damage your skin and make you look far older, whereas good skincare and treatments can help retard the signs of aging.
