Thinning: After about age 40,
the dermis and the skin's fat layer begin to thin. The
process picks-up-steam after your 50th birthday and the
result is sagging and the loss of the plump, youthful
softness. The loss of the fat layer also makes the skin more
fragile and likely to corrode.
Loss of Firmness: In
the dermis, cells called fibroblasts constantly replenish
our skins production of collagen and elastin. Fibroblasts
lose their ability to function over the years, resulting in
the reduction of collagen and elastin.
Diminished Immune
Response: The skin is home to Langerhan's cells, receptors
for the immune system that registers the presence of foreign
agents and toxins. Without them we are less likely to get a
warning signal when we come in contact with irritants.
Reduced ability to
Repair Damage: Our body loses its ability to repair
free-radical damage, so changes in the cells become more
pronounced, accelerating aging.
Loss of Temperature
Control: Sweat glands also slowly lose their ability to
function, which makes it harder four our body to regulate
itself and register heat and cold.
Happily, our skin has
allies in its continuing fight against free-radical damage.
