What is aging?
It’s something we all do but understand very little about it
Your skin changes with age. It becomes thinner, loses fat, and no longer looks as plump and smooth as you were young. Years of sun tanning or being out in the sunlight for a long time without any sun protection may lead to wrinkles, dryness, age spots. Wrinkles that made you turned off is a result of losing skin texture & tone due to both extrinsic and intrinsic causes.
Signs of aging skin
-
Wrinkles: Over time, skin begins to wrinkle. Things in the environment, like ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, can make the skin less elastic. Gravity can cause skin to sag and wrinkle. Certain habits, like smoking, also can wrinkle the skin.
-
Loss of volume: The loss of facial volume can be seen through the flattened cheek, turkey neck or thin and sagging neck, and sagging skin that is more prominent on the cheek, brows, and nose.
-
Loss of elasticity: As we age our face loses its elasticity & firmness and skin becomes loose. This is caused by thinning of the outer layer of skin
-
Age spots: They are also called “liver spots,which are flat, brown spots often caused by years of sun exposure.
-
Skin tags: skin tags are harmless, although sometimes skin tags can become irritated due to friction. Skin tags are small, usually flesh-colored growths of skin that have a raised surface. They become common as people age, especially for women.
Causes of Aging
Intrinsic factors:
​
-
Hormonal imbalance: Drop in the estrogen level in the body causes the skin aging, makes it dry and fragile.
-
Genetic: It has a great role in the aging process because every individual has a different tendency to respond against the immune system.​
​
Extrinsic factors:
​
-
Sun exposure: The harmful Ultraviolet rays of the sun cause photoaging by triggering the oxidative stress. Photo aging occurs over a period of years. Repeated ultraviolet (UV) exposure breaks down collagen and impairs the synthesis of new collagen.
-
Pollution: Smoke, dust particles in the air triggers the oxidative stress and damages the skin.
-
Nutrition: Food rich in antioxidants can help for free radical damage. Colored fruits and vegetables are rich source of antioxidants.
-
Smoking: Nicotin causes the free radical damage to the skin and accelerates the aging process.
