FAQ about skin ageing

At what age does skin ageing begin?

Skin ageing begins as early as 25 years of age, when the natural production of collagen starts to decrease, but visible signs become more noticeable from 30-35 years onwards.

What are the effects of UV rays on skin ageing?

UV rays accelerate the skin ageing process by generating free radicals in the skin that damage collagen and elastin fibres. This results in a loss of firmness and the premature appearance of wrinkles and brown spots.

Can antioxidants slow down skin ageing?

Yes, antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, resveratrol, and Vitamin E, neutralise the free radicals that cause oxidative stress, thereby slowing down the skin ageing process.

Are wrinkles the only sign of skin ageing?

No, there are other signs of skin ageing, such as a loss of firmness, the emergence of brown spots, thinner and drier skin, as well as a dull and uneven complexion.

How does stress influence skin ageing?

Chronic stress releases cortisol, a hormone that accelerates the breakdown of collagen and increases oxidative damage, thereby contributing to premature skin ageing.

Does physical activity influence skin ageing?

Yes, multiple studies have demonstrated that physical exercise has a positive impact on the ageing of the skin.

How can diet impact skin ageing?

A diet rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, while being low in sugars and ultra-processed foods, can help slow down the skin ageing process. This latter limits glycation, a process that stiffens collagen fibres, thus helping to maintain skin firmness.

Do tobacco and alcohol have an effect on skin ageing?

Yes, tobacco and alcohol accelerate skin ageing. Various mechanisms are involved, such as the slowing down of the cellular cycle for alcohol and the degradation of the dermis support proteins for tobacco.

Can facial massages assist in slowing down skin ageing?

While some studies suggest benefits of facial massages, the data available to date is generally insufficient to assert that facial exercises have an effect on the skin ageing process.

Which skin typology ages the quickest?

Dry skin tends to age more quickly due to its low lipid content in the corneal layer, which promotes dehydration. Additionally, its hydrolipidic film is less protective than that of oily skin, another factor that weakens its skin barrier and consequently accelerates the appearance of fine lines.
