When we are young, our skin renews itself approximately every month compared to as we aged. The deepest layer of the epidermis  is mostly comprised of keratinocytes and is responsible for renewing the skin.  

Keratinocytes produce keratin, the protein that protects your skin from chemical products and bacteria. Keratinocytes slowly migrate from the basal layer up toward your skin’s surface, dividing and changing as they go.

Natural aging 

We are getting old and the body is changing. As we grow older the collagen and the elastin production in the body is decrease. It will contribute to the skin condition of the body because skin is the most visible sign of aging. The wrinkles and the saggy skin are the  example of the aging.

Solar radiation

Sunlight expose is the big mistakes that can cause the aging in skin. Over time, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light damages certain fibers in the skin called elastin.

The breakdown of elastin fibers causes the skin to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to snap back after stretching. These rays damages the DNA skin in our cell, thus lead to fine lines, wrinkles  and hyperpigmentation to the skin. The skin damage result from sun exposure not instant effect but will show later in life.
