Loss of elasticity is one of the most recognizable signs of skin aging. As skin becomes less firm and slower to return to its original shape, declining levels of collagen and elastin are often considered the primary causes. Idunn’s Apple proposes that the problem may involve more than the gradual loss of these structural proteins. Changes in epigenetic regulation may also affect how efficiently skin cells produce, organize, and maintain collagen and elastin. Epigenetics and Skin Aging Epigenetics refers to [more…]

Skin aging is often described as a normal part of getting older. With time, the skin naturally becomes thinner, cellular renewal slows, collagen levels decline, and fine lines become more visible.But not all skin aging is simply the result of time. A key distinction in skin science is the difference between chronological aging and accelerated skin aging. Chronological aging happens gradually as part of the body’s normal biological timeline. Accelerated aging occurs when environmental and lifestyle stressors cause the skin [more…]
