Human Skin and Skin Aging – The Facts

Our skin is truly amazing. It is the largest organ comprising of approximately 16% of body weight and one of the most complex organs in the body. It is also our body’s protective armour.

Human skin comprises an outer layer known as the epidermis, a middle layer of tissue called the dermis and underlying these is the subcutaneous layer that includes sebaceous and sweat glands, blood vessels, sense organs and nerves.

Skin is predominantly made up of collagen. Collagen, important for maintaining healthy skin, is a natural protein that provides “building blocks” supporting the growth of new cells by binding the together within the skin.

Skin texture and natural moisture content are different around the eyes, lips, neck and cleavage or chest.

Skin Aging: The Facts
It is a fact that everyone, women and men alike, want to remain as young and fresh looking for as long as possible. People in their 20s tend to be more cautious in their skincare regime and by the late 30s and beyond it is all about maintenance.

As we age the natural cellular activity of the skin slows gradually causing skin to lose its ability to retain moisture and protein resulting in loss of tautness and tone. This causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

From the age of 25 onwards, levels of collagen, naturally diminish over time approximately by as much as 1.5% per year.

Helping the skin to replace this lost collagen can help to improve the elasticity of the skin and naturally help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The eyes, mouth, neck, cleavage or chest are more vulnerable to skin ageing and have a tendency to be overlooked in the daily skincare routine.

Daily cleansing a toning, as well as eating healthy, nutrient-packed diet, keeping yourself well hydrated and getting sufficient exercise and sleep are important to help maintain skin health.
