Skin aging is the process in which functional and structural changes in extracellular matrix components, e.g., elastin and collagen along with phenotypic alterations in cutaneous cells results in your skin’s laxity, rough-textured appearance, loss of elasticity and wrinkling.
In other words, with skin aging, epidermis (the outer layer of your skin) becomes thin, while the number of skin cell layers does not decrease – or increase.
What decreases is the number of melanocytes (the skin cells that contain pigment). However, the size of the melanocytes that remain, increases.
Aging makes your skin look paler, clear – even translucent, – and thinner.

Being a hormone-dependent organ, your skin is under the influence of hormonal changes and dysfunction of hormonal system, e.g., during menopause, which accelerates skin aging in form of a decline in skin qualities.
Particularly, estrogen has a significant effect on the skin qualities by stimulating production of extracellular matrix and preventing decreases in

Among the first and the most evident signs of skin aging are fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles. Wrinkles result from weakened collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for keeping your skin taut and firm.
Aged skin looks dehydrated and dry. Over the process of aging, the skin loses its capability of retaining moisture and, as a result, its radiant, dewy appearance.
One of the signs of skin aging is dullness. When young, your skin renews itself once in every 3 – 4 weeks. When aged, the renewal process is prolonged to every 4 – 6 weeks. It is because the moisture levels in the top layer of your skin is depleted.
This is how your dewy and glowing skin ages and fades over time.
As a result of the loss of elasticity on the one hand and your skin getting drawn down by gravity on the other hand, pores become larger and more visible with age.
Complexion becomes uneven in some areas as your skin ages, which can make your skin look older than it actually is. This unevenness may occur due to two things:
Changes in skin texture become more visible as your skin ages. Due to the slow-down of the cell turnover along with layers of dead cells, your skin loses smoothness and glow and becomes bumpy and uneven on the surface.
As your skin matures, it becomes thinner and blood vessels become easily-seen right under your skin surface. Reddish or brown age spots (also known as liver spots) become more visible in aging skin and are the products of overexposure to UV rays.
Age spots contribute to an older looking skin by producing a blotchy appearance.

SUN Damage (resulting from chronic UV exposure) is the single biggest cause of skin aging and cannot be completely undone, although the skin can sometimes repair itself. Laser treatments can sometimes help reverse parts of the damage as well.
As you age, the ultraviolet ray of the sunlight breaks down the elastin fibers in your skin, which, in turn, leads to your skin sagging and losing its capability of firming back up after stretching.
Another product of sun damage is that your skin gets more fragile and bruises more easily and takes longer to heal, although you may not experience this when young.
As destructive as sun damage is, you CAN delay unwanted changes associated with it mainly by making a habit of:

Whether resulting from natural aging process or lifestyle and environmental factors, skin aging depends on a range of different factors.
The 9 major contributors to a faster skin aging are:
Among the most noticeable sign of aging are the changes that your skin undergoes. That includes sagging skin and wrinkles.
Your skin is made of a number of layers but it can be divided into 3 main layers:
Epidermis comprises skin cells, proteins and pigment.
Dermis contains skin cells, nerves, blood vessels, oil glands and hair follicles. Dermis transfers nutrients to the epidermis.
The subcutaneous layer is the layer under the dermis and comprises hair follicles, sweat glands, fat and blood vessels.
Each of the three major layers of skin contains two main tracts of fibers:

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Not taking good care of your skin means neglecting your health!
It takes SCIENCE to
Smoking rockets up the speed of skin aging while causing wrinkles and a shallow, dull complexion.
Alcohol dehydrates and can cause hardly reversible damages to your skin. Alcohol is rough on your skin and that is how it can make you look older than your years.
Findings from research studies suggest that consuming plenty of vegetables and fruits may help prevent damage leading to premature skin aging.
Findings from studies also indicate that a diet containing lots of refines carbohydrates, e.g., sugar can speed up skin aging.
Moisturizers help your skin maintain a more youthful look by trapping water in your skin tissue. Therefore, regular use of moisturizers can slow down the process of premature skin aging.
Moderate exercise can not only give your skin a healthier, younger appearance, but also boost your immune system through improving the blood circulation in your body.
Washing your skin with appropriate skin cleansers can help balance the amount of oil on your skin and its tone and texture.
Specifically after sweating, you also want to wash your skin because perspiration generally irritates the skin and more so when you are wearing a hat or helmet.
As important as washing is, you want to be gentle with your skin. Irritating your skin by scrubbing it contributes to premature skin aging.
On the contrary, cleansing your skin gently helps remove makeup, pollution and any other substance that may block your skin pores.
Irritating your skin, in any way and by any means, e.g., by making it burn or sting can bring about premature skin aging.
Getting a tan from a tanning bed, the sun or any tanning equipment, prematurely ages your skin each and every time because they all emit what is known as the single biggest factor of skin aging: harmful UV rays.
Making facial expressions is equal to contracting the underlying muscles of your face. If you do this repeatedly for several years, the lines resulting from squinting become permanent. Sunglasses can help reduce lines resulting from these contractions.
