AGING: What are the causes?

Your skin is the most accurate indicator of what is happening inside of you. If you are taking good care of yourself both physically and emotionally, you will have great healthy looking skin. What you do today, matters, both internally and externally, but more importantly. You can look great at any age, when you take care of your health, as well as have a good skincare routine.

Not only having a healthy lifestyle and a good skincare routine helps in you in great looking skin, but so does genetics. Therefore you can thank either thank your mom or dad of good or bad skin, as well as sensitivities and allergies to products, and hormonal changes and your metabolic process can be thanked by genetics, and contribute to your skins health and aging.

You can have the healthiest of lifestyle, the best skincare routine, and the best genetics, but if you are not protecting your skin from the elements of environment, you can also cause your skin to show signs of aging.

When can you start seeing this aging? If you are not taking care of your skin early, you can start seeing the signs of aging as early as in your 20’s, through fine lines and wrinkles. The start of the loss of the underlying fat causing sagging skin.

What are some of the environmental factors? Protecting your skin early from the sun, by using sunscreen, will prevent premature aging of fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also found that facial expression, gravity, and sleeping, all causes fine lines and wrinkles too, but you can take supplements to help your elastin and collagen stay healthy.

What are the lifestyle choices? Smoking can cause premature lines around your lips and robbing it of oxygen, which causes the fine lines and wrinkles. Excessive alcohol, lack of exercise, exposure to cold weather, stress and lack of sleep along with general diet, are all choices that affect your skins aging process.
