As you get older, your body’s internal processes — from skin cell turnover to workout recovery — slow down and take longer to complete or recharge. This leaves room for signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and age spots, to occur.
It’s impossible to avoid these changes altogether, but there are ways to reduce the signs of ageing in your skin and slow down the ageing process — especially if they’re happening before you’re ready to embrace them.
Premature ageing is a result of structural destruction and deterioration in the normal functioning of the skin. As we age, the skin’s natural defence mechanisms, such as collagen and elastin, begin to break down, and we begin to notice the lines and wrinkles that weren’t there before. Collagen gives body tissue shape, firmness and strength, while elastin gives much-needed flexibility to your skin. Other signs of skin ageing include pigmentation, sunspots and sagging.
Sun exposure speeds up this ageing process. UV from the sun breaks down collagen and impairs the synthesis of new collagen. It also attacks the skin’s elastin fibres. Without supportive connective tissue (collagen and elastin), the skin loses its strength and flexibility.
It is natural for our skin to lose some of its youthfulness as we age. However, the following factors can accelerate the skin’s ageing process:
