Our skin is our most visible organ, so signs of skin ageing like wrinkles can have a big impact on self-esteem. Wrinkles and fine lines result from a combination of internal and external factors. Internally, ageing causes the top layer of our skin to thin and lose collagen, elastin and fat, so the skin sags, develops wrinkles from repeated facial movements, and is more prone to pigmentation, broken capillaries and enlarged pores.
Externally, UV exposure, air pollution and smoking can also break down our elastin, as well as promote collagen breakdown, leading to dry and coarse skin. These factors have a greater impact than you may realise – in 2013, a self-reported questionnaire revealed that Australian women reported more severe facial lines and higher rates of facial change with age than women from the other countries, particularly those from the US. This came as no surprise, with those living in Australia being exposed to higher levels of UV radiation, which is responsible for most age-associated cosmetic skin problems in fair-skinned people.
