Why Skin Ages

Changes in your skin as you get older may cause you to wonder why skin ages like it does. Although there isn't a simple answer to this question, we do know some basics about what creates wrinkles, lines and age spots.

One of the biggest known causes of aging skin is the natural loss of collagen and elastin. These 2 substances create the underlying structure that supports healthy, radiant skin tone.

It isn't until around age 35 that we usually start losing this tone. Our bodies stop generating enough collagen and elastin to keep up with normal skin damage.

This skin damage comes from a number of places, including excessive sun exposure, eating too many junky foods and the internal process of cellular oxidation.

Knowing this, we can start understanding how to prevent further damage and maybe even reverse the trend
