Skin aging: causes, remedies and advice

 

What are the causes of skin aging?

Skin aging is an inevitable biological phenomenon. Fortunately, this is an extremely gradual process, which gives humans the ability to get used to changes in their physical appearance. The timing and modalities of skin aging are influenced by the genetic heritage.

However, genetic factors, against which we can do nothing, are not the only ones responsible for skin aging, but there are numerous factors on which we can intervene, preventing and slowing the appearance of wrinkles and skin furrows.

In detail, it can be said that the structural changes that the skin undergoes with the passage of time are caused by two forms of aging:

• Intrinsic - or chronological - aging which substantially depends on genetic (or intrinsic) factors;

• Extrinsic skin aging - or environmental factors - caused by external factors (extrinsic factors).

 Intrinsic aging, in principle, begins after the age of 25 and involves a series of modifications that lead to the thinning and collapse of the skin structure, with the appearance of the first expression lines. Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, is caused by the aggression of external agents and environmental factors including UV radiation (responsible for photoaging), cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, pollution and continuous contact with substances. irritants.

What happens to skin that "ages"?

Skin relaxation is undoubtedly the first and most direct consequence of the aging process. However, as we have it can be accelerated by behaviors and situations in which the skin is subjected to sources of stress.

At the tissue level, a skin that has lost its tone is lacking in three components:

• Elastin, as the name implies, gives the elastic component to the face making it able to return to its original position after undergoing a strong stretch, such as in the case of a sudden weight loss.

• Collagen, is the most abundant protein and constitutes 6% of the body weight, located in the connective tissue, gives the skin its structure and its thickness, making it firm to the touch.

• Fat, constitutes the adipose tissue deposited in the deep skin layers with the task of carrying out three important functions: mechanical, to counteract shocks, thermal insulation, not to disperse water and heat, reserve, as an energy source given by the transformation of lipids into sugars.

With regard to intrinsic - or chronological - aging, other structural changes come into play that contribute to making the skin of the face too relaxed.

• Loss of bone volume, this is a slow process involving the spongy and compact area of ​​the bones. It begins its course from the age of 35 by affecting the value of the bone mass peak, which is the maximum amount of bone tissue that our body can develop. In women, menopause is a factor that speeds up the process due to the reduced production of estrogen.

• Muscle atrophy, in our case it affects the striated muscles of the face, and is also linked to aging or specific diseases of the muscle tissue. There is in fact a substantial reduction in terms of active tissue, that is, capable of producing movements. A factor that encourages this loss is certainly the absence of movement, with consequent hair thinning of the muscle itself.

• Reduction of intradermal thickness, due to a substantial loss of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin capable of supporting the connective tissue located in the dermis. The aging process begins at the age of 25 and manifests itself around the age of 40, so it is good to make the skin toned right away to avoid excessive sagging of the skin in old age.

What can I do to slow down the skin aging process?

Before resorting to invasive treatments, such as injections or facelifts, however, you can certainly act on your lifestyle, with a few simple rules:

• regularly engage in moderate physical activity                

• eliminate or reduce smoking and alcohol

• drink a lot of water

• healthy diet, abundant in fruit, vegetables, to be eaten preferably raw. Indicatively, very colored vegetables (blueberry, black grapes, red tomatoes, carrots, etc.) are also the richest in antioxidants;

• personalized cosmetic routine based on the degree of aging

• always sun protection, even in the city, even in the cooler seasons
