What causes the first signs of skin aging?

As we get older, the body’s processes slow down. Substances that keep skin firm and smooth start to reduce and this leads to structural changes in the layers of skin which we start to notice on the surface. Skin starts to lose hyaluronic acid , cell turnover slows down and sebum production reduces. These changes add up to increased sensitivity to the sun, dryness and roughness. The blood supply to our skin also starts to reduce as we age. This, combined with various lifestyle factors, can result in a loss of radiance and skin that looks pale, dull and tired. There are a number of factors – both internal and external – that influence the speed and severity of skin’s aging process. What are the internal factors that influence the first signs of skin aging? Fair skin is more prone to early signs of skin aging than darker skin Our genetics determine our skin type and the rate at which biological skin aging occurs. Biological skin aging is a term used to describe the natural skin aging process. Fair skin often shows signs of aging at an earlier stage than darker skin as it is less protected against UV rays. And sensitive skin is more prone to the early development of wrinkles than less sensitive skin types.

What are the external factors that influence the first signs of skin aging? Up to 90% of all premature skin aging is caused by UV exposure.1 Pollution triggers the free radicals that cause skin oxidative stress External factors such as the sun, pollution, smoking, some medications, diet and lifestyle choices are known to trigger free radicals and cause oxidative stress to skin. Oxidative stress causes skin to age prematurely, which means that it develops signs of aging faster than one would expect. While we can’t change our genes, we can influence the factors that determine premature skin aging.
