Hi Biohackers,
As part of our commitment to your wellness journey at Upgrade Labs 5th Street we want to share some insights into how our skin changes as we age. Understanding these changes is the first step toward taking proactive measures to maintain healthy, youthful skin.
The Skinny on Skin Aging
Intrinsic Aging: This is the natural aging process that occurs over time, influenced by our genetics, and is often seen as the gradual thinning and sagging of the skin. You might notice your skin losing its firmness and elasticity, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. This happens because of decreased collagen production and changes in the underlying fat and bone structure.
Extrinsic Aging: This type of aging is influenced by external factors like sun exposure, pollution, smoking, and even the food we eat. These factors can accelerate skin aging, leading to more pronounced wrinkles, age spots, and rough, dry skin.
The combination of intrinsic and extrinsic aging results in visible changes such as thinning skin, slower cell regeneration, and decreased oil production. These changes can make our skin look and feel older.
