“One shoe does certainly does NOT fit all” when it comes to aging. It is a truly individual phenomenon and it depends on many factors. Age is not necessarily the most important one.
Your state of health, sex, lifestyle, and age may be involved and can determine the aging of your skin and how you appear later in life.
There are several factors that might contribute to how your skin and body looks like. Most of you know that the effects of overexposure to the sun, smoking, lack of sleep and lack of healthy fresh food intake will affect your appearance, but there are some other interesting scientific facts which you might not necessarily know about:
Bone resorption refers to the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release minerals, thus resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood. People lose bone mass or density as they age, especially when it comes to women who have undergone the process of menopause.
As the skin of the face has consistent attachments to underlying structures through retaining ligaments, these points of attachment define most of the shadows that develop on the face due to age-related facial volume deflation
Fat pads are areas of closely packed, subcutaneous fat cells that are often found in the face and other parts of the body. Over time, facial fat pads in the upper and mid face waste away, causing the appearance of “hollows” under the eyes — resulting in individuals looking tired or aged.
A major contributor to loss of jawline definition is a breakdown of the elastin and collagen fibers. Gravity can also cause fat pads from cheeks to migrate downward, putting additional pressure on the skin in the jaw area.
With more and more people now spending up to 6 hours of the day staring down at mobile phones, it is no surprise that we have seen a surge in the formation of horizontal lines and wrinkles that are commonly referred to as “tech neck.”
In fact, looking down at technology isn’t the only thing that can cause a tech neck situation—your sleeping position has a lot to do with it too.
Thankfully, due to major advances in technology over the last few decades, there are a various number of treatment options available for anyone who is looking to slow down the signs of ageing. Some of the options available are with The Best You customized treatment plans That may consist of:
