What causes Degradation in Skin Quality

Our skin is the largest organ of the body; being on the exterior and protecting us from the outer environment means that it is constantly subjected to elements that speed up the aging process. However, it is not just external factors such as UV rays and pollutants that cause our skin to age but also intrinsic factors such as: genes and hormones.

These factors culminate in our skin becoming functionally and intrinsically aged.
