Skin ageing is a process in which skin quality deteriorates with age due to the synergistic effects of chronological ageing, photo-ageing, hormonal deficiency and environmental factors. In skin ageing, there is a reduction in the number of fibroblasts that synthesize collagen and vessels that supply the skin which leads to an increase in laxity and hence forms wrinkles.

It becomes thinner, loses fat, and no longer looks as plump and smooth as it once did. Your veins and bones can be seen more easily. Scratches, cuts, or bumps can take longer to heal. Years of suntanning or being out in the sunlight for a long time may lead to wrinkles, dryness, age spots, and even cancer. But there are things you can do to protect your skin and to make it feel and look better.
