As you age, the collagen in the dermis of your skin gradually loses water, causing the skin to lose its elasticity and flexibility. This process is compounded by the decreasing activity of the oil-producing sebaceous glands and the water-producing sweat glands.
These factors, along with the loss of fat in the sub cutis results in the formation of wrinkles and blemishes. It’s a process that’s aggravated by damage inflicted by the sun and – to a lesser degree – the wind.
This is an unstoppable process and one that can only be partly halted by moisturising creams and lotions. They can however slow the process by providing a protective coating against the elements.
