As we age, skin regeneration slows. Dead skin cells remain on the surface and contribute to dull, dry looking skin.
Melanocytes over-produce melanosomes, resulting in hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Damaged collagen and elastin weakens dermal connective tissue. The epidermis is not supported, resulting in wrinkles and laxity.
Oxidative stress occurs at a rate which the body and skin is no longer able to fully neutralize free radicals. The free radicals damage cellular DNA and other vital structures resulting in aged appearance.
