Did you know…? Your skin is the largest organ in your body.
Turning back time | Formulations to prevent skin-ageing
With the desire to maintain healthy, youthful skin on the rise, it’s no surprise that British women are set to spend £1.36 billion on facial skincare by 2023. What’s more, in 2019 alone, over 2000 ‘anti-ageing’ personal care products were launched in Europe. Combined, this highlights that products which support youthful skin are extremely lucrative in today’s personal care industry (Mintel).
Skin ageing - How does it happen?
Skin ageing happens in 2 key ways – intrinsic and extrinsic.
Intrinsic ageing
Intrinsic ageing is relatively uncontrollable and is dependent upon internal factors such as:
- Genes
- Hormones
- Rate of oxidative stress within your body
Extrinsic ageing
This type of ageing can be controlled and prevented more easily than intrinsic ageing. It can be caused by many external factors - including but not limited to:
- Smoking
- UV radiation
- Pollution
- Alcohol consumption
