Skin aging explained

The appearance of signs of aging can be confusing, but do you really understand this phenomenon and the different ways to slow it down?

‎

The skin begins its aging process from the age of 20, and cell regeneration slows down little by little.

‎

The aging process is intrinsically linked to age, but other factors can accelerate it. Among them, the most harmful are:

Poor diet
A polluted environment
Sun exposure
Lack of sleep

FIRST FACTOR

Poor diet

A diet too high in sugar or fat is responsible for inflammation, leading to glycation of proteins (a kind of "caramelization" of the proteins in the dermis, caused by glucose) in our body: the main cause of aging.

‎

To avoid accelerating cell aging, a balanced diet is recommended: limit alcohol, sugary foods, and fatty foods.

2ND FACTOR

A polluted environment

Pollution promotes oxidative stress which disrupts the functioning of skin cells and causes various skin problems; dull complexion, blackheads, hyperpigmentation and skin aging.

‎

To protect yourself from pollution, you should avoid walks and sports activities near roads and ventilate your home during off-peak hours.

3RD FACTOR

Sun exposure

UV rays cause severe damage to the skin, weakening it.

‎

UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, they accelerate the appearance of wrinkles and contribute to the development of skin cancers.

‎

UVB rays reach the superficial layers of the skin; they are responsible for tanning, sunburn, brown spots, and also cancers.

‎

To protect yourself from UV rays, you should avoid sudden and prolonged exposures and stay in the shade as much as possible, wear a hat and sunglasses.

4TH FACTOR

Lack of sleep

Indeed, nighttime is the time when our body and cells regenerate best. Insufficient or poor sleep has a negative impact on skin quality: increased fine lines, the appearance of age spots, sagging, and loss of elasticity.

It is important to maintain a regular sleep schedule and to get enough sleep.
