Skin Aging and How to Slow it Down
01 Introduction
No other organ shows that we’re aging more clearly than our skin. The first signs of aging become obvious at around the age of 30: our skin gets thinner, less plump, and less elastic.
In this edition of Inside Longevity, we’ll explain why knowing the biological causes of aging can help us to better figure out what the best treatments are for our skin, especially to maintain its health for the long term.
02 What is collagen, and how can it improve skin health?
Collagen is a protein that’s made up of many tiny amino acids that form long peptide chains. When collagen is consumed, some of it is broken down into “collagen fragments,” also called collagen peptides. These collagen peptides can pass the gut wall intact and end up in the blood. There, they can travel to the skin to help it build more collagen.
03 Three ways to slow down wrinkling
Specific intrinsic aging mechanisms damage the stem cells and other cells in our skin, making them dysfunctional. While in this state, they can no longer create new skin cells or maintain the skin properly by secreting collagen, elastin, and other components of the skin.
There are three ways to address wrinkles: the superficial method (moisturizers, fillers, botox, etc.), preventing extrinsic skin damage (protecting the skin against too much UV exposure, hydrating, etc.), and addressing the root causes of wrinkles (the biological aging process).

04 What causes age spots, and how do you remove them?
Age spots are small, flat, darker areas of the skin. They can be found mostly on areas exposed to the sun, like the hands, face, shoulders, upper back, and arms. They are often irregular in shape and vary in size and are very common in adults over 50.
Various products and treatments can help reduce the appearance of age spots. However, we advise prevention as the best course of action.
