With age, the amount of skin-firming collagen in our bodies begins to decrease as existing collagen breaks down and the production of new collagen slows. At the same time, the elastin that gives skin its smooth appearance begins to weaken. The severity of these signs of aging and the age at which they first begin to appear are largely determined by your genetic makeup. Fine lines and wrinkles are the most obvious signs of Genetic Aging, or the aging that naturally occurs as we get older. However, you can minimize and treat the signs of Genetic Aging with the right skin care products.
