As our skin ages, its ability to retain moisture decreases. There are several contributing factors that affect skin hydration including natural moisturising factors, hyaluronic acid and the skin’s lipid barrier.
Inevitably Natural moisturising factors (NMFs) are compounds that focus on water retention and supporting the skin barrier, I.e., amino acids and lactic acid. Over time, the skin begins to slow its production of NMFs, which can contribute to skin dryness.
Hyaluronic acid is a skin ‘superpower’ that is responsible for maintaining skin hydration and facial volume through its ability to hold large amounts of water. With age, production slows, increasing the skins susceptibility to form fine lines and wrinkles.
The skin’s outer layer, also known as the lipid barrier has a pivotal function in preventing water loss and shielding lower layers of skin from environmental damage. This barrier weakens and becomes retains less moisture, leading to greater skin dehydration.
There are a range of lifestyle factors that can contribute to skin aging including smoking, sugar and alcohol consumption, facial muscle movements, stress, sleep patterns and skin care habits.
