Why Does Your Skin Age?
Two factors mainly affect the aging of the skin:
a. extrinsic ageing and
b. b. intrinsic aging.
Intrinsic or internal aging is biological aging that occurs with the passing of time.
Extrinsic or external aging is the natural process of biological aging compiled with exterior causes such as sun exposure, air pollution, smoking, lifestyle, cosmetics and other allergens and lack of care.
The appearance of the skin is actually affected by the extrinsic ageing. The most damaging of all of these exterior causes is sunlight. Actually, ninety percent of the aging of your skin is due to sun damage.
Why do we age and we are unable to fight with the naturally occurring factors like sun light? This is because of the damage caused to cells by free radicals.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that take electrons from healthy molecules. This creates a cycle of more free radicals and more damaged cells.
WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES THE FREE RADICAL DAMAGE?
Free radicals in the nature and their interaction with the body is a natural process. Body has its own capacity to fight with such factors. But when the capacity and the threshold level is crossed, the damage repair system of the body goes beyond control and the Free radical vicious cycle plays major role in the process of ageing.
Along with the internal free radical management system of the body, there are many external factors that increase the free radical damage. Number one is the sun, and the other include air pollution, smoking, foods, chemicals in everyday products and the air we breathe. These internal factors actually are responsible for the process of ageing.
HOW FREE RADICAL OVERLOAD AGE YOUR SKIN?
The youthful appearance of the skin is because of the collagen you have in the dermis. But unfortunately, collagen is the primary target of the free radicals. Actually collagen is a protein that forms a meshwork that holds the internal structures of the skin.
