Your skin gets thinner, metabolic processes are slowed down, the state of proteins (collagen and elastin) as well as structural intercellular elements (such as hyaluronic acid) change. As a result, the elasticity and tone of your skin decreases and wrinkles appear. Also, because of a delay in exchange processes, your skin takes on a dim shade.
Photoageing is a result of ultraviolet influence. It causes chronic inflammatory reactions which affect your skin’s original protection from sun rays.
