What Is Intrinsic Skin Ageing?

Intrinsic ageing refers to the natural ageing process that occurs over time. This process is influenced by genetics and natural physiological changes within the body.

Common characteristics of intrinsic ageing may include:

• Fine lines
• Thinner skin
• Reduced elasticity
• Gradual collagen decline

Intrinsic ageing occurs naturally and cannot be completely prevented.

What Is Extrinsic Skin Ageing?

Extrinsic ageing refers to external factors that may accelerate visible skin ageing. These factors can include:

• UV exposure
• Environmental stressors
• Smoking
• Lifestyle habits
• Poor skincare practices

In Australia, sun exposure is one of the most significant contributors to premature skin ageing.

Supporting Skin Health Over Time

Healthy lifestyle habits and consistent skincare may help support overall skin appearance and barrier function. These may include:

• Daily SPF use
• Hydration
