What causes aging of the skin?💭
Intrinsic (Natural) Aging
This is the natural aging process determined by your genetics and happens over time:
🧬 Loss of collagen and elastin: These proteins give skin its firmness and elasticity. Their production decreases with age.
🦠 Slower cell turnover: Skin renews itself more slowly, leading to a duller appearance.
💧 Reduced oil production: Skin becomes drier and less supple.
🥀 Thinner dermis and epidermis: Skin becomes more fragile and prone to damage.
Extrinsic (Environmental) Aging
These are external factors that accelerate aging:
🌞 Sun exposure (UV radiation): damages collagen and elastin, causes pigmentation (sunspots, freckles) & leads to rough texture and wrinkles
🏭 Pollution: produces free radicals that break down skin structures, increasing inflammation
🚬 Smoking: reduces blood flow and oxygen to the skin, damages collagen and elastin & increases wrinkle formation
🍔 Poor diet
🌙 Sleep deprivation
🍾 Alcohol consumption
🤨 Repeated facial expressions
