The aging process significantly impacts the skin. As we age, several factors contribute to changes in skin appearance and texture. The production of collagen and elastin starts to decrease which leads to a reduction in skin elasticity which can result in the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Skin also starts to becomes thinner which makes it more fragile and prone to damage.
Through the aging process skin cell turnover starts to slow down which causes a duller complexion and makes it harder for the skin to repair itself. Sun damage over the years can result in uneven pigmentation, age spots, and the breakdown of collagen fibres. Finally with reduced oil production in the body, the skin can become dry, while gravity can cause sagging and loss of facial volume.
Aging is a complex process influenced by a range of internal and external factors. Intrinsic aging, driven by genetics and natural biological changes, includes reduced collagen production, cell turnover, and hormone levels. Extrinsic aging, caused by external factors like UV radiation, smoking, and pollution, accelerates aging by damaging skin cells and collagen. Lifestyle choices such as diet, sleep, and exercise play a role too. Combined, these factors contribute to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, pigmentation changes, and reduced skin elasticity, all commonly associated with the aging process. Proper skincare, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle can mitigate these effects.
Medically diagnosed arthritis can affect people of all ages and backgrounds and can create acute pain, stiffness, inflammation and damage to joint cartilage (the tissue that covers the ends of bones, enabling movement) and surrounding areas.
Fine lines and wrinkles are creases or folds on the skin’s surface. They occur due to age-related collagen and elastin loss, UV exposure, and repetitive facial expressions.
Natural aging is responsible for the slower production of collagen and elastin. This can create dry hands with visible skin thinness, primarily on the back of the hands. Further loss of elasticity creates a crepey effect, often making the skin appear semi-transparent.
As we age, our faces lose volume due to decreased fat and collagen. As collagen is responsible for skin firmness and tone, whilst elastin provides the skin with elasticity, the reduction in their production can further create sagging and facial hollowing.
The neck area receives as much environmental exposure and sun damage as the face leading to ageing on the face and back of the hands. Some of the most accelerated signs of ageing on the neck are sagging, wrinkles and pigmentation.
The most common cause of sagging skin is aging. As you age, your skin loses the collagen and elastin, your skin’s supportive connective tissue, that make it look soft, plump and youthful. In addition, facial muscles can weaken with age, which shift fat pads and skin south giving a drooping effect.
