Skin ageing

Skin ageing is a natural process characterised by the gradual loss of elasticity, firmness, and radiance of the skin. It is caused by a combination of internal factors, such as genetics, and external factors, such as exposure to UV rays and pollution. Learn more about this process, how to enhance your skin texture and reduce visible signs of ageing.

From visible to invisible: how does our skin age?

Contrary to popular belief, skin ageing is not limited to wrinkles but also affects the skin’s texture, colour and tone. From a loss of elasticity to dehydration, each sign reveals a stage of the ageing process. How can ageing skin be recognised? Explore here the multiple facets of this natural phenomenon.

How to take care of your facial skin in your 20s?

At 20, the skin is young and supple. However, it gradually begins to undergo constitutional changes (loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen fibres...) and signs of ageing appear progressively. Therefore, it is important to have a good routine to prevent premature skin ageing. What actions and care should be adopted at this age? Discover all our advice in this article.

Vitamin C and skin ageing.

An essential vitamin for the proper functioning of the body, vitamin C also abounds with benefits for the skin. When applied topically, this active ingredient neutralises free radicals induced by several factors such as stress, smoking, sun exposure, lack of sleep... Thus, it limits oxidative stress and slows down skin ageing and the appearance of wrinkles. Vitamin C also stimulates the production of collagen, an essential protein for skin firmness.

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.
