The Factors of Skin Aging
● Skin aging is influenced by many factors including ultraviolet
radiation, excess alcohol consumption, tobacco abuse, and
environmental pollution (Pontius 2011).
● In addition, few people realize that as their body weight
increases and their blood sugar levels rise, biochemical
reactions disrupt the very structural framework of their skin.
● Combined, these factors lead to cumulative deterioration in
skin appearance and function.
