What are wrinkles really?Wrinkles in the skin are formed when the skin thins and loses its elasticity. Wrinkles are formed in weakened areas of the skin caused by habitual facial expressions including smiling and squinting; sun damage from UVA and UVB light; and low hydration of the overall body. Other factors that help to determine the rate of and the extent of wrinkles include lifestyle habits such as smoking, environmental pollution exposure, stress, lack of proper skin care, and diet/nutrition.What are age spots?Age spots (also sometime known as liver spots) are the results of a buildup of wastes in the skin know as lipofuscin accumulation which is a byproduct of free radical damage to the skin cells.Though these brown spots themselves are harmless – they can be a sign of more serious underlying issues. These spots are signs that the skin cells are full of accumulated wastes that slowly destroy body cells including brain and liver cells. Age spots are a surface sign of free radical damage of the body that may affect many internal structures, the eye and the heart. The leading factors in the formation of age spots are excessive sun exposure (#1 factor), poor diet lacking the vital antioxidants, lack of exercise, smoking and over intake of oxidized oils over long time frame. Why does our skin sag as we age?As we beginning to age (around 30), we begin to have less and less elastin and collagen in our skin. Elastin and collagen are the two connective tissues that give our skin its elasticity and firmness. Once we have less and less ability for our skin to bounce back – our once firm skin begins to sag.Additionally, skin with less elastic also become drier and lines become more noticeable. The sub-layer of fat padding begins to disappear. With loss of support by fat padding and connective tissues, the skin begins to sag (sadly).
