Senior Skin Care 101: 3 Tips On Caring For Aging Skin
Aug 4, 2020
As you age, your skin will naturally begin to change. Your skin will begin to show signs of aging such as spots, wrinkles and sagging. This process happens as your skin begins to lose its moisture and its elasticity. Skin has natural collagen. This miraculous property is what makes your skin look youthful, supple, soft and smooth. When the skin’s collagen production begins to go down, the skin can begin to look dull, wrinkly, ruff and dry. Apart from collagen, the skin also has elastic tissue that is called Elastin. Elastin gives skin that bounce and shine that is typical with youth. When you pull a young person’s skin, it will naturally snap back into its position. That is not the case with older skin. If you are interested in taking great care of your skin as you age, you do well to investigate the three tips that follow.
1. Never Smoke or Stop Smoking
Smoking is not only bad for the inside of your body, but it is also horrible for your skin. You have probably seen a person who is older and has smoked her whole life. She generally has skin that is wrinkled, ruff and leathery. This is because there are over 4000 different chemicals in cigarettes, and many of these chemicals have a direct negative effect on collagen and elastin. Since your goal is to build up and protect elastin and collagen, you do not want smoking to be a part of your life.
