What causes ageing?

The ageing process begins from as early as our mid-20s! Over time our skin cell turnover rate begins to become less efficient along with the production of essential collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid diminishing. This results in the appearance of our skin structure, tone and texture to noticeably change.

Skin Ageing is caused by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic ageing is generally caused by biological factors including genes and hormones. Extrinsic aging is based almost entirely on external factors including sun damage, diet, lifestyle habits, pollution, smoking and lack of sleep. Intrinsic ageing is more difficult to prevent, however both types of ageing can be minimised with the right homecare, nutrition and lifestyle habits.

Tips To Prevent the signs of ageing

• Avoid excessive sun exposure, including sun lamps and tanning beds. Ultraviolet exposure is greatest between 10am and 4pm. Use professional SPF sunscreens in combination with other sun-protective measures.
• Stop Smoking. Smoking increases wrinkles around the mouth (perioral wrinkles) and increases you chance of skin cancer.
• Lead a healthy lifestyle including following a healthy diet, adequate exercise, and stress reduction.
• Get professional advice on a daily skin care routine with professional products that directly treat and prevent ageing.
