Why Does Skin Age?

We all know the signs of ageing. Sagging, thin, dry and wrinkled skin that’s lost its elasticity and has a poor complexion. And we attribute this to the loss of hydration, collagen, elastin and vigour. Now, one’s initial inclination might be to try to treat these symptoms directly (which is what most conventional treatments do), but the truth is that there are deeper underlying causes for ageing.

Years of “attacks” by external factors, such as damage from sun exposure, toxins, chemicals and free radicals in the world around us, combined with the intrinsic factors (such as a slowdown in normal processes and the various physiological changes your body undergoes over time) to trigger a general slowdown in individual cells. These “damaged” cells pass their less-than-optimal characteristics on to new cells, causing a cascade of damage and degeneration overtime.

Three Root Causes of Ageing

– Cells stagnate, become inactive

– Chronic inflammation deteriorates skin cells

– Damaging enzymes increasingly ravage skin cells and structures
