What causes my skin to age?

90 % Of Skin Aging

90% of all visible aging is due to sun exposure and is avoidable!
Wrinkles
TWENTIES: First wrinkles appear around eyes and lips
THIRTIES: Skin becomes less resilient as elastin declines allowing gravity to begin to have its way
FORTIES: As elasticity begins to diminish, skin loses its memory and becomes less able to snap back. Repetitive movements such as frowns, squinting, or cigarette smoking form the first permanent wrinkles
FIFTIES: Normal aging changes become more apparent, gravity is certainly a factor. Gravity combines with the decrease in collagen and elastin causes skin and muscle to sag. Gravity also causes the tip of the nose to droop and the ears to elongate.
Another important factor in intrinsic aging is the loss of bone mass. As bones shrink away from the skin, the skin retains its size and shape, this leaves the skin slightly bigger than the underlying bones resulting in loose folds of skin and thick wrinkles.
Nutrition And Exercise
Good health habits and balanced nutrition help the body to nourish the skin from the inside out.
Vitamin C, has been shown to support the production of collagen, the strength of the skin.
Calcium supplementation supports bone mass.
Anti-oxidants combat free radicals.
Don't forget WATER! Hydration from the inside is critical for all cells.
