How does our face age?
As we age, numerous changes occur in our body processes, no matter how good our genes are. This affects how we feel, but also our appearance. The ageing process of our face is an example of this. The main causes of facial ageing are:
- Subcutaneous skin volume decreases. Both bone structures and fatty tissue structures decrease in volume so that the skin is less well supported
is supported.
- The quality of the skin itself decreases, the skin is more quickly dehydrated and the process of cell renewal slows down.
- Muscle activity changes and muscle tone decreases: with age, facial lines remain clearly visible while the muscle is relaxed
is.
How can I prevent wrinkle formation?
The previously described causes of facial ageing are also known as intrinsic factors, factors that therefore affect everyone and over which we ourselves have little control. There are also extrinsic factors that can influence the ageing process, including:
- UV rays
- Smoking
- Stress
- Pollution
- Poor eating and drinking habits
- Poor overall skin care
A healthy lifestyle
Thus, through a healthy lifestyle and proper eating habits, we can significantly reduce the damage done by extrinsic factors. The following precautions can be taken to maintain a youthful appearance:
- Use of a moisturising face care cream, preferably with UV protection
- Use of sun protection
- No smoking
- Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, avoid too much fat and sugar
- Drinking enough water
