SKIN CARE
WHY DOES THE BODY NEED CARE?
Normal skin aging begins at birth and is a physiological process, just as the
aging of the entire organism. Around the age of 25, biological skin aging
begins to show.
The connective tissue of the dermis, which is almost entirely made up of
collagen fibers, is where the skin ages the most. These are movable in
juvenile skin and can be displaced against one other. They may store a lot of
moisture due to their sIlling capacity.
On the one hand, cell activity declines as skin ages; on the other hand,
individual collagen fibers stiffen and adhere together, resulting in elasticity,
resilience, and moisture retention.
The skin's suppleness is deteriorating, and the epidermis' water-binding
capacity is reducing.
