Mitigating the Effects of Aging – With a Simple and Effective Treatment
As we start to get older and wiser, there are certain natural processes that occur in our bodies that are just a fact of life and there is not much we can do about it except watch and complain. As we age, there are things that happen to our skin both externally – what we see – and internally – what we don't see. As the years pass by, your skin gets thinner and the underlying fat can also start to diminish. As your skin starts to also lose some of its elasticity, it becomes drier which is also a result of the production of less essential oils. Other effects of aging are fewer nerve endings in the skin and the number of sweat glands and blood vessels. These changes result in reducing the skin's ability to mitigate sun and heat exposure. So then your skin is more susceptible to sun damage.
Sun damage is one of the most common adverse effects on our skin. Long-term exposure to UV rays can mean more wrinkles, irregular spots appearing and can even make your skin look leathery and rough. Photo-aging is the term used for sun-damaged skin and although you can use products to mitigate the adverse effects, everyone is susceptible over time.
