Skin Ageing: the essentials

Skin Ageing refers to the process of wear and damage the skin goes through as a result of both physical age and our day to day activities. Whilst physical age is often thought of as being the primary cause of skin ageing, a surprising amount of ageing is actually caused by external factors such as unprotected sun exposure and unmoisturized skin. Once you know the external causes of skin ageing, you can begin to avoid them to help avoid the ageing process. No matter your age, you can always benefit from a skincare routine that helps protect your skin from ageing.

Skin Ageing can be detected by a number of factors, however the most common, and easiest to spot include weaker skin that bruises easily, looser and wrinkled skin, rougher or dry skin and more transparent skin resulting from a thinner surface layer of skin.
