What are the
effects of aging and photodamage on your skin?
As your skin ages, the turnover of skin cells
slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the
growth of healthy new skin cells and the sloughing off of old
damaged skin cells.
Collagen and elastin begin to slowly
break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting
in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV
light accelerates this aging process and causes uneven
pigmentation.
Skin becomes rough and wrinkled as dead
surface cells accumulate. |
