We all know that aging is invitable. It’s just a fact of life. To quote Trudy, the salon owner and ‘glamor technician’ from Steel Magnolias, “Time marches on, honey. And sooner or later, you realize it’s marching across your face.”
        But what really causes aging? And how much can we actually do about

slowing the aging process? These questions have been asked for as long anybody can possibly remember and then some. Anti-aging and Cosmetic sciences have focused on this issue and made some remarkable strides, both in learning about the causes of aging and in devising ways to slow its progress.
 Causes of Aging:
        All aging in the body can be categorized into one of two distinct types of aging: Intrinsic Aging, caused by genetic programming, and Extrinsic Aging, caused by environmental factors. These two types of aging can often work in combination to result in premature aging.
        Dermatologists call the aging caused by sun exposure “Photo aging”.Intrinsic Aging – the “natural aging process” usually begins in a person’s mid-20s. The skin’s production of collagen slows and the elastin in the skin has less spring. Dead skin cells shed less quickly and new cell turnover slows. While these changes do start in the mid-20s, the signs of these changes don’t usually become visible for decades. The following are some signs of Intrinsic Aging:
        •   Fine lines and wrinkles
        •   Thin, transparent skin
        •   Loss of underlying fat layers, resulting in sunken cheeks, hollowed eyes, and
            loss of firmness in the neck and hands
        •   Bones shrink, leading to sagging skin care
        •   Inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin
        •   Graying hair, hair loss and unwanted hair
        •   Thinning of the nail plate, developing ridges and loss of the lunula

         Because an individual’s genes control the natural aging process, some people may find their first gray hair or crow’s feet in their 20s, while others may be 40 with no visible grays or wrinkles at all.
