What is it and how is it caused?

Ageing is a natural process that affects everyone, marked by physical and biological changes over time. It manifests in various ways, particularly through changes in skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.

​

Causes of Ageing Skin:

• Genetics: Your genetic makeup plays a significant role in how you age. Some people may be more predisposed to visible signs of ageing based on their family history.

• Collagen Loss: As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin. This results in sagging and the formation of wrinkles.

• Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can damage skin cells, leading to pigmentation, wrinkles, and an uneven skin tone.

• Lifestyle Choices: Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, and lack of hydration can accelerate the ageing process, affecting skin health.

• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, especially during menopause, can lead to dryness, thinning skin, and increased sensitivity.
