Area of Science:

Dermatology
Gerontology
Biochemistry

Background:

Skin aging involves complex anatomic, biochemical, and physical alterations.
Distinguishing intrinsic aging from extrinsic damage is crucial for understanding skin health.

Purpose of the Study:

To review and discuss the multifaceted changes in skin associated with aging.
To differentiate age-related skin changes from those caused by environmental factors.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies on skin aging.
Analysis of anatomic, biochemical, and physical skin changes.
Comparative assessment of intrinsic versus extrinsic aging factors.

Main Results:

Aging skin exhibits distinct structural and functional modifications.

Environmental factors like UV radiation contribute significantly to premature skin aging.

Intrinsic aging involves inherent biological processes affecting skin over time.

Conclusions:

Aging encompasses both inherent biological processes and cumulative environmental damage.
Effective skincare strategies should address both intrinsic aging and extrinsic damage for optimal results.
