Skin aging
Whatever your skin type, specific factors might trigger or lead to oversensitivity: Your skin reacts strongly when you’d rather it didn’t…

THE SKIN AGES ... WHY ?
Many factors are responsible for these changes, from lifestyle to genetics.
HOW ? WHAT IS VISIBLE ...
Marks of time vary during one’s life.
From 25 to 50 years of age, the skin gets thinner, weaker, loses its radiance. Its natural brightness tends to decrease.
A few fine lines and expression lines appear here and there; around the eyes and the lips…
Around the age of 50, lines become more pronounced, the skin is not as firm, facial contour less even, the neck less tight.
WHAT HAPPENS ...
These marks of time are caused by a change or a gradual decrease in collagen fibers, elastin, hyaluronic acid and the dermis fundamental substance, together with increased skin dryness.
PREVENTION : ESSENTIAL !
While we cannot slow down time or avoid stressful events in our lives, we can have an effect on photo-induced aging (caused by skin exposure to UV rays).
Actually, one has to be careful with overexposure to the sun starting early in life. But it is never too late to start.
Photo-aging means photo-protection, that is to always be careful about sun exposure: Do not spend much time in bright sun, wear clothes, a hat and sunglasses (that carry a UV label), use high SPF sunscreens.
Of course, don’t forget that a child under the age of 3 should NEVER be exposed to the sun.
