Antiaging - Rejuvenating

Our skin ages for a variety of different reasons. Many of the causes of skin aging are entirely natural and cannot be altered. There are, however, several factors that can cause skin to age prematurely, and these can be influenced. A holistic approach to lifestyle and skincare can help to reduce the visible signs of skin aging and prevent premature skin aging. Skin aging is a complex biological process influenced by a combination of endogenous (internal) and exogenous (external) factors. 1.  Intrisic aging or Chronoaging Chronoaging is an inevitable, natural and progressive process that depends on our genetic, cellular metabolism and hormone and metabolic processes. It can not be controlled, but can be prevented. A good chrono-antiaging therapy approach should guarantee revitalizing, elasticizing, anti-wrinkle, hydrating and protective benefits. 2. Extrinsic aging or Photoaging Premature degradation of the skin caused by environmental factors. Photoaging can be controlled or prevented. The main environmental factor that damages and contributes to the premature skin aging is the solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) and mainly depends on the degree of exposure and the skin phototype. The effects of UV radiation are cumulative and sum from childhood. The clinical signs of photoaging are variable – collagen degradation, loss of elasticity, irregular pigmentation- and they are often mistakenly attributed to physiological skin aging. Photoaging alters the structure of the dermis and epidermis and may require specific dermatological treatments.
