But, of course, most women would gladly take having a few pimples over age spots and wrinkles. Like every living thing, unfortunately, aging is a natural part of every woman’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut \u003cstrong\u003ewhy do we age\u003c\/strong\u003e? Let’s take a look at the causes of aging, ranging from genetics to our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the age of eighteen, most women have all the connective tissue that their body needs. Until that point, through childhood and puberty, the body is growing connective tissue stores, strengthening the bones, and becoming an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the brain is still in development until twenty-five, the body is usually growing and changing by age eighteen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, the skin is supple and firm. Some women begin to see acne naturally clear up, while others may still struggle with the occasional spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is sporadic for someone this age to view any lines or wrinkles on her face simply because this is the peak of the body’s youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt thirty, many women will begin to see a breakdown in the connective tissue layer. The body is still producing collagen, but not as much as in previous years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, women with good genetics and a thorough moisturizing routine will likely see only a few aging signs—most notably, lines around the eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we progress in age, our body produces less and less collagen. Means that our skin is less supported, and under the weight of gravity, it begins to sag and wrinkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile there are ways of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/collagen-soluble-liquid\" title=\"combating collagen loss\"\u003ecombating collagen loss\u003c\/a\u003e, on the whole, it can be challenging to understand what exactly is happening well enough to fight it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin becomes rigid and dry. Luckily, a moisturizing routine that includes hyaluronic acid and a steady diet of fruits and vegetables and foods that contain Omega-3s can help \u003ca href=\"\/products\/matrixyl-collagen-booster-serum\" title=\"Collagen Boost for age-defying results\"\u003estrengthen collagen\u003c\/a\u003e deposits and restore moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChronological Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two types of aging, the first being the unavoidable variety. Our genetics causes chronological or intrinsic aging; we have little control over when this begins and how it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eExtrinsic Aging\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kind of aging we do have control over. You can reverse up to 85% of extrinsic aging. Environmental factors such as pollution or sunlight (photo-aging) accelerate aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen who smoke or drink heavily, eat an unhealthy diet, or get too much sun exposure will age faster. Conversely, females who do not expose themselves to any of these harmful factors will age slower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEating right, getting enough sleep, and avoiding environmental toxins will prolong the effects. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/anti-aging-serums\" title=\"Anti-aging products with peptides\"\u003eAnti-aging products with peptides\u003c\/a\u003e are very beneficial.
