What is Aging Skin?

Aging skin is determined and caused by many factors such as your lifestyle, diet, heredity, and other personal habits. For instance, smoking can produce free radicals, once-healthy oxygen molecules that are now overactive and unstable. Free radicals damage cells, leading to, among other things, premature aging.

One of the most important ingredients to use is a high quality pure antioxidant, antioxidants fight free radicals and protect the skin from environmental factors which cause premature aging. Some well known antioxidant ingredients are Vitamin C, E and A (retinol).

Other factors which contribute to aging skin include normal aging, exposure to the sun, pollution, and loss of subcutaneous support (fatty tissue between your skin and muscle). As well as stress, gravity, daily facial movement, obesity, and even sleep position. Although, naturally we all age, 90% of the visible signs of aging are caused by environmental factors, mainly sun exposure. This is why it is so important to properly protect your skin with not only SPF but with antioxidants like Vitamin C, E, and A in combination with proper skincare and treatments.

Some of the more common signs of aging are:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sagging skin
• Loss of firmness
• Loss of volume
• Hyperpigmentation
• Rough texture
• Enlarged pores
• Expression lines
