Ageing of Skin – Why it Happens at Cellular Level
Ageing is a natural process that we all go through. With time, our skin loses its elasticity and structure, causing wrinkles. The intrinsic ageing of skin occurs at the cellular level and it is an unavoidable change due only to the passage of time. There are also extrinsic factors that can accelerate this process such as UV radiation from exposure to sunlight or smoking cigarettes which both cause premature ageing in addition to cancerous cells.
