Your skin is under near-constant assault by sun exposure, stress, environmental contaminants, repetitive movements, and the passing of time. The sun’s ultraviolet radiation causes sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone and slowly breaks down collagen and elastin fibers, making the skin laxer and subject to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Stress induces the release of the cortisol hormone, which damages collagen and can stimulate skin conditions like eczema and acne. Environmental contaminants contain skin cell-damaging free radicals that can accelerate skin aging. Repetitive movements temporarily crease the skin but inevitably induce the formation of permanent lines and wrinkles. And, as our skin ages with the passing of time, it becomes less resilient and able to repair itself, and it increasingly displays the ravages of time.
