What causes premature aging?

Full-blown aging has a few distinct causes – all accelerated by sun exposure. While the results don’t show up fully in premature aging skin, the signs are still there:

- Photo-aging (sun exposure)

- Related DNA damage

- Dormant (stagnant) skin cells

- Chronic inflammation

- Overproduction of collagen-destroying enzymes

Early signs of skin aging

While the deep furrows and visible sagging of aging skin won’t show up for another few years, you can still see the early onset of aging and premature aging. Fine lines that form in your 20s and 30s, along with a loss of luster in the skin, poor complexion and uneven texture. Another tell-tale sign that aging has started is dark circles and early onset hyperpigmentation – indicating a little too much aging sun exposure. Luckily, now’s the ideal time to start revitalising and preventing aging.
