Wrinkles and lines, altered pigmentation, loss of skin tone… we all associate these changes with skin aging. Skin ageing starts at around 30 years of age and after that we usually lose 2% of collagen per year.
As part of the natural ageing process, the body’s wear and repair cycle begins to slow down, the skin becomes less efficient at dealing with changes caused by the environment, such as exposure to harmful UV rays. Collagen and elastin which help keep our skin looking plump and youthful begin to break down and the skin appears looser and more prone to forming lines and wrinkles. Cell turnover slows, the production of new skins cells decrease and the dead cells don’t shed as quickly.
How fast your skin ages depends on a variety of factors including lifestyle, stress and environment. with UV and smoking being the top two causes of accelerated skin ageing
