As the global population is growing older, the consequences of aging have gained significant attention. Science continues to uncover effective approaches to support healthy aging and maintain quality of life. Skin aging, in particular, has gained interest not only because it is the most obvious manifestation of the aging process, but also because it represents a picture of overall human health. For instance, dryness is the most common cause of itching skin but itching can also reflect an internal condition; it could be an early symptom of cirrhosis or hepatitis.
As is well-known, skin aging is a natural process and the many influences that affect this process vary throughout life. These include extrinsic factors such as environmental and lifestyle, and intrinsic factors such as genetics and body composition.
