Quick takeaways

  • Aging leads to significant changes in the skin, including reduced collagen production and function, but adopting a nourishing skincare routine and protecting against sun damage can support skin health.
  • Botox injections can alter the appearance of the skin, but it inhibits the skin's natural toxin removal mechanism. Exploring alternatives like hyaluronic acid fillers or fat grafts can be considered.

The Effects of Aging on Skin

As we age, particularly during the perimenopause and menopausal years, our skin undergoes significant changes. These changes include a reduction in collagen production and hyaluronic acid, as well as a shift in the skin's function from a communication organ for vitality to a barrier between the environment and the body. The accumulation of unrepaired damage, such as sun damage, pollutants, and toxins, further contributes to skin aging. Personal factors like sun exposure in younger years can exacerbate these changes. However, there are measures we can take to protect and support our skin, such as adopting a skincare routine that nourishes and repairs the skin, avoiding excessive sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm, and using products that enhance skin performance and resilience, like carotenoids, vitamin C, and lanolin.
