UV rays cause increased formation of free radicals and drying of the epidermal layer of the skin, which leads to damage to the collagen and elastin fibers in the connective tissue of the skin. The skin loses tone, becomes flabby, and wrinkles become more visible.
Genetic predisposition and hormones greatly influence the onset and course of wrinkle formation. By reducing estrogenic and androgenic hormones, the epidermal layer of the skin becomes thin and sensitive because it loses much of the fat responsible, among other things, for skin tone. At the same time, the production of sebum (sebum) is reduced, which naturally lubricates the skin and creates a protective film against drying out and protects it from mechanical damage. Deficiency of these hormones prevents or significantly reduces the synthesis of collagen and elastin and prevents the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, which plays an important role in maintaining skin moisture. Improper diet, poor in vitamins, dehydration and unhealthy lifestyle significantly affect the production of these hormones and many metabolic reactions.
