What Causes Skin Aging?

First thing that comes to mind when we mention “aging skin” is “wrinkles.” Actually, fine lines and tiny wrinkles are the very first sign of aging skin. We get them as early as our twenties, but we do not take them seriously. Really, who wants to think about old-age look when life is good, and we look and feel great?

What Are the Causes of Aging Skin?

If you would like to know a bit more on a functional level what triggers our skin to age, here are a few reasons that our skin deals with daily.

• Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), or better known as free radicals.
• Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), in which a sugar molecule bonds to either lipid molecule or protein without an enzyme to control the reaction. These by-products are dangerous and “impair the functioning of biomolecules.”
• Matrix Metalloproteinase Enzymes (MMPs), that break down collagen and elastin when the matrix of the skin is being stimulated.

Prevention is the best action we can take with anything in life, including our skin.

Can You Reverse Aging Skin Spots and Other Skin Problems?

This overwhelming consensus on this subjects explains the multitude of products available on the market to “treat,” “eliminate”, “smooth” your wrinkles, thus “reversing” the aging process in your skin.

But is it possible that a topically-applied product can eliminate wrinkles? Really eliminate them?

The answer is that only a limited number of ingredients address the signs of aging. And unfortunately, nothing short of cosmetic surgery can really eliminate a wrinkle.

Studies on retinol (Vitamin A), ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and various peptides, all show positive effects in stimulating collagen to help smooth and retexture aging skin. As far as eliminating wrinkles, that’s more of a wishful thinking than hard-core science.
