Skin Aging: How to Prevent and Delay It with the Right Cosmetic Advice

Theskin aging it is an unstoppable natural process that involves our entire body, including its protective barrier: the skin.

The structural changes that the skin undergoes over time are caused by a series of factors of different origins.

In detail, it can be stated that these changes are caused by two forms of aging:

• skin aging intrinsic
• skin aging extrinsic

But here's an overview of both types of skin aging and some cosmetic tips to keep your face young and radiant over the years.

What is Intrinsic (or Chronological) Skin Aging?

Theintrinsic skin aging, also known as chronological aging, is the result of internal biological processes and the passage of time.

Unfortunately we cannot stop the intrinsic aging process, but we can adopt a series of cosmetic strategies to slow it down, prevent it and keep our skin in perfect health.

What are the causes of intrinsic skin aging?

• Decreased collagen and elastin: We know that as we age, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases. These two proteins are essential for keeping skin young and toned;
• Thinning of the skin: due to skin aging the skin becomes thinner with age, as the production of collagen and elastin decreases;
• Decreased hydration: you should know that the skin's ability to retain moisture decreases with age, leading to drier and more cracked skin;
• Slow Cellular Regeneration: The rate at which skin cells regenerate slows more and more over time, causing a buildup of dead cells that can make skin appear dull;
• Dullness: Skin appears less luminous and duller.

Menopause: one of the determining factors affecting intrinsic skin aging in women

The menopause it is the physiological moment in a woman's life that coincides with the end of her fertility.

It is characterized by a series of changes which largely depend on hormonal alterations and the skin also undergoes a real structural change:

• Progressive thinning of the skin layer and reduction of the barrier function at the level of the keratinocytes;
• Decreased estrogen levels with progressive increase in free radicals;
• Reduction in the proliferation of fibroblasts in the dermis, which above all influences the production levels of collagen and elastin;
• Reduction of sebum production and dehydration;
• Decreased synthesis and secretion of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) - youth hormone - this phenomenon compromises the structure, morphology and functionality of the skin, promoting ageing;
• Alteration of microcirculation, resulting in a reduction in oxygenation and nourishment of cells;
• Decrease in pheromones with consequent loss of the so-called "olfactory identity card", a unique and exclusive smell, linked to sexual hormones;
• Slowing of repair processes;
• Flushing phenomena (redness).

To address the changes associated with menopause and mitigate the effects on the skin's intrinsic skin aging, many women opt for targeted treatments, which can include very rich and nourishing creams with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and lipid components.

However, what is Extrinsic Skin Aging (or due to factors environmental)?

This type of aging is instead caused by external factors, such as exposure to the sun, air pollution or "bad habits" for the skin.

• Wrinkles and fine lines: exposure to UV rays and other environmental factors can significantly accelerate the formation of wrinkles, which is why the application of a broad-spectrum SPF is always recommended;
• Loss of elasticity: Air pollution and other environmental toxins can contribute to loss of skin elasticity;
• Dull and damaged skin: Exposure to environmental factors can make skin dull, dry and damaged;
• Sunspots: Hyperpigmentation is the most common cause of sun exposure.
