Aging

What is Aging?

Aging is a natural, gradual process that affects every cell in the body. It involves:

• Slower cell regeneration
• Reduced collagen and elastin production
• Hormonal changes
• DNA damage accumulation

Types of Aging

• Intrinsic Aging: Natural, genetic aging (starts around age 25)
• Extrinsic Aging: Caused by external factors like sun exposure, pollution, stress, smoking, and poor lifestyle

How Aging Affects the Skin

Visible Signs:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sagging skin (loss of elasticity)
• Dryness and rough texture
• Pigmentation (age spots)
• Dull skin tone
• Thinning of the skin and visible veins

Common Areas:

• Face
• Neck
• Hands
• Under-eye
