Skin aging and causative agents

Skin aging is a complex process observed due to the involvement of both internal (genetic, metabolism, hormones) and external factors (pollution, ionizing radiations, and toxin exposure).

Among several factors, damage from sunlight, acne, and pigmentation causes the skin to appear unhealthy and dull. Over cleansing of the skin results in the disruption of the normal protective microbial flora of the skin making it vulnerable to acne, breakouts, and loss in complexion.
