Brilio.net - Over time, everyone will experience aging. Signs of skin aging will become visible when you enter old age or over 40 years. The skin's ability to maintain its firmness and suppleness will decrease. Wrinkles begin to appear, the skin sags, and some fine lines appear.
The strength of the skin structure, which supports its firmness , is actually closely related to the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are two key proteins that maintain skin elasticity. As we age, the production of these two proteins will decrease, causing the skin to lose moisture. As a result, it becomes difficult for the cells in the skin to support each other, ending up making the skin sag.

Environmental factors such as ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, air pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking can affect the level and quality of skin health. In fact, frequent stress and staying up late have been found to make the signs of skin aging appear more quickly.
Not only that, these various factors can also slow down skin regeneration . The skin will also lose its ability to repair itself from damage. Therefore, using sunscreen and regularly taking care of healthy skin is an important key to getting youthful facial skin.
