Which Factors Affect Skin Biological Age the Most?
Understanding What Truly Drives How Old Your Skin Looks—and Acts When it comes to aging, your biological skin age often tells a more honest story than the number on your birthday cake. Two people at age 50 can look—and feel—completely different, depending on how their skin has biologically aged. But what really drives these differences? Recent skin science, especially the SEHI (Skin Epigenetic Hydroxylation Incompetence) concept, reveals that your biological skin age is shaped by far more than genetics or time — it’s
Factors That Accelerate Skin Aging
Accelerated skin aging, also known as premature aging, refers to the appearance of aging signs earlier than what is typically expected based on chronological age. This includes the development of wrinkles, age spots, dryness, loss of skin tone, and sagging—features normally associated with older age. Several factors can contribute to accelerated skin aging, both internal and external. Intrinsic Factors (Internal) Extrinsic Factors (External) Recent scientific insights suggest that both intrinsic and extrinsic skin-aging path
What Is Accelerated Skin Aging, and How Does It Happen?
We’ve all seen it: two people of the same age, yet one looks noticeably older. This isn’t just about luck or good genes—it’s often the result of accelerated skin aging. But what exactly does that mean, and why does it happen? Let’s break it down in simple terms. Normal vs. Accelerated Skin Aging Everyone’s skin changes with time. Natural, or “healthy,” aging includes gradual loss of collagen, slower cell renewal, and fine lines that appear over the years. Accelerated aging, however, occurs when these changes ha
Skin Aging: Why Oxidative Stress Might Be Your Skin’s Worst Enemy
Aging is a natural process, but have you ever wondered why some people seem to age faster than others? While genetics, epigenetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors all play a role, science points to one major hidden culprit: oxidative stress. At the heart of many visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and loss of elasticity — is a cellular-level battle against damage caused by free radicals. Let’s take a closer look at what oxidative stress is, how it accelerates skin aging, and what you can do to
