Over time the skin becomes thinner, dries out and loses its suppleness. We tend to think that mature skin is just wrinkled skin. But do you really know the characteristics of mature skin? The right things to do? To keep your skin young and toned, turn to a routine adapted to your skin type!
With age, the protective coat of the skin is no longer optimal, the skin tends to become dry and rough on the forehead and in the cheeks. You should know that mature skin is more sensitive and more irritable. In addition, the skin slackens and loses elasticity and this is sometimes accompanied by pigment spots commonly called "age spots". Wrinkles become marked, especially in the corners, such as around the eye area or around the lips.
Skin aging can come from external and internal factors. Hormonal imbalances can be the cause of aging skin. From menopause, there is a decrease in estrogen secretion which causes a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin. The skin then begins to slowly lose elasticity and tone.
Also, too much exposure to the sun makes the skin more fragile. We explain to you! UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin to cause premature skin aging. If it is too exposed to the sun's rays, the skin loses its elasticity, becoming dry and rough. The cells of the epidermis are weakened, which can even lead to the appearance of brown spots due to overproduction of melanin clusters. But it is also the case of wind, cold and heat which can accentuate the premature aging of the skin. Pollution accelerates skin aging by reducing the immune system.
Above all, you should not neglect your lifestyle, as this has a strong impact on the condition of the skin. For example, stress increases the production of free radicals which are responsible for the premature aging of cells. Lack of hydration accentuates the appearance of wrinkles, as does lack of sleep. Your eating habits can also contribute to premature skin aging. It is therefore unsurprising that tobacco and alcohol have a direct impact on the state of the epidermis, the toxic products contained in cigarettes degrade certain components of the dermis, in particular hyaluronic acid which helps maintain skin supple and hydrated.
