When you get older, your skin gets more stretchy and more saggy. Like a piece of paper, it gets more wrinkles and can rip more easily over time. But since the human skin is stretchy, it doesn't rip. Or does it?
It loses elasticity and has decreased ability to renew cells with age. This results in wrinkles, age spots, and sagging.
There are two types of aging for the skin. There is the intrinsic (internal) aging, which is caused by factors within your own body, such as genes and body condition; and extrinsic (external) aging, which is caused by factors outside your body, such as sunlight and lifestyle. Common Signs of Aging:
Skin becomes rougher.
Skin develops lesions such as benign tumors.
Skin becomes slack. The loss of the elastic tissue (elastin and collagen) in the skin with age causes the skin to hang loosely.
Skin becomes more transparent as we age. This is caused by thinning of the epidermis (surface layer of the skin).
Skin becomes more fragile as we age. This is caused by a flattening of the area where the epidermis and dermis (layer of skin under the epidermis) come together.
Skin becomes more easily bruised. This is due to thinner blood vessel walls as we age.
Aging or, ageing is a process that affects every person. Moreover, it is the most normal process that affects humans both, physically and psychologically. Furthermore, many psychological changes may happen as we grow old which may be both, positive and negative. However, it is a process that happens throughout life but, it is primarily noticed during transition from middle age to old age. Besides, nobody wants to deprive from the pleasures of youth, and grow old. But, this process starts showing signs on our skin or, health, which is when we seek for the ways to prevent aging.
There are many anti-aging diets, which people can use, but the question is which of these schemes work? The most visible signs of aging usually occur on the face. Wrinkles on the head and eyes, with loosening of the skin are most serious. Genes May be a factor, as the age of a person, too. But no matter how our genes, if you do not know how to take care of our body, we were unable to age gracefully.
