 There
are many external and internal factors which cause the skin to age and
these can be divided into three main categories: biological ageing, environmental ageing and mechanical ageing.
Perfectil® Platinum – an advanced new beauty supplement may help
maintain a radiant and healthy complexion. Its nutrients are designed to help protect
against the first two categories of skin ageing.
Biological skin ageing
Biological ageing is the result of changes - often genetically
determined - that occur naturally over time within the body. Everyone
has a biological clock or a chronological age determined by genetic
makeup and this also applies to the skin.
Biological ageing occurs as a result of natural changes within the body
that manifest themselves in outward signs of ageing on the skin. Some of
these changes are genetically determined and cannot be stopped.
Fortunately however, some of the factors contributing to biological
aging can be controlled. A healthy diet full of antioxidant-rich fruits
and vegetables may help decrease the intensity and delay the onset of many
changes that are a result of biological ageing.
Environmental skin ageing
This category of skin ageing is caused by external sources in the
environment. Environmental ageing occurs as a result of daily exposure
to free radicals from a variety of sources: the sun's ultraviolet rays,
pollution, smoke, harsh weather, and external stress. These generate free
radicals that damage lipids, proteins, and DNA, all of which limit the
ability of cells to function and cripple the integrity of overall cell
composition.
