Aging Skin

_{What is it & how to deal with it}

WHAT IS IT?

Skin aging is a complex biological process affecting various layers of the skin - most significantly the dermis - and includes a modification of genetic material. Among the events that occur in the aging process are deficiencies in the nutritional components within the different tissues, cellular destruction through excessive sun exposure, the effect of free radicals on the cellular membrane, deterioration in the genetic programming of the DNA and a decrease in cellular proliferation. 

HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT?

Aging skin is characterized by a thick stratum corneum with a thin epidermis and dermis. It exhibits an accentuation of lines and wrinkles as a result of increased dryness and dehydration caused by skin thinning and reduced oil gland activity. It can be recognized by its poor elasticity, lack of normal firmness and sagging due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the dermis. 

NOTES ON AGING SKIN

Skin aging can be grouped into two categories. The first is intrisic or chronological aging, which results from the passage of time, and is the slow irreversable process of tissue degeneration. Intrisic aging is linked to the transformation of connective tissue and the decrease of cellular regeneration. The second category is extrinsing aging. It is often referred to as photoaging since it is primarily due to sun (UV) exposure, which damages and destroys cellular reproductive abilities and degenerates collagen and elastin. Other factors can cause or accelerate extrinsing aging such as exposure to outdoor elements, stress, lifestyle choices, hormonal imbalances, improper skincare while young and nutrition.
