Aging is inevitable. From birth we are given a specific genetic makeup based on our family history and as we age our hormone levels grow and change, and the internal aging process eventually works its way to the surface of our skin.

And, as the largest organ in our body, our skin is the first line of defense against the world, making it the first to show signs of age.

With age, our skin becomes more fragile and thin, making the most common signs of aging —fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, sagging skin and hyper pigmentation — more apparent.

Skin loses its ability to retain fat which, in turn, makes your complexion appear loose, crepey and susceptible to dehydration.

But thankfully it’s not all bad news, with a proper skin care regimen targeting your main areas of concern; you can boost collagen and elasticity to restore smooth, soft, more youthful-looking skin.

When selecting your anti-aging regimen, keep an eye out for peptides.

These are the building blocks of proteins that help to fortify your skin’s texture and promote collagen to decrease the depth of fine lines and wrinkles. Antioxidants are fundamental to fighting aging as they combat free radicals and prevent further signs of premature aging.

But hands down, the best defense against future damage is sunscreen. Sunlight paves the way for environmental damage so it’s vital to stay protected.
