Factors that affect skin aging

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

When it comes to planning a skincare regimen to reverse the appearance of aging, it’s vitalĀ  to have a little understanding about the science behind skin aging.

Some factors that contribute to skin aging, including heredity and normal biological processes of the human body, are largely beyond our control, whereas others may be mitigated through lifestyle and habit changes.

As we age our bodies produce fewer new skin cells. There is reduced fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are the most common connective tissue cells, and less fibroblast activity leads to less collagen and elastin in the skin and less elasticity.

Our skin begin to sag and become dryer and thinner. It becomes less resilient and more fragile and more susceptible to environmental assaults, including pollutants and UV rays.

Wrinkles, lines and age spots begin to appear. Some of the effects of aging are due to the natural, intrinsic process of aging, whereas others are caused and exacerbated by external factors.
