the Aging Process?
FIND YOUR SIGNS OF AGING
Navigate Your Aging Process
There is no shame in aging – it’s a natural process! Since explorer Ponce De Leon went searching for the Fountain of Youth, scientists and laymen alike have been looking for a cure for aging. To date, no one has found it. No matter what they tell you.
What we do know, however, are the signs that appear and what we see in the mirror. Find your signs of aging below!
What Causes Aging?
Although why aging happens is not fully understood, there are several factors that influences how our bodies age throughout the years.
Genetics
DNA is the molecule inside our cells that contains the genetic information about how we develop. You get Mom’s eyes. Dad’s height. Your grandmother’s arthritis.
If you want a glimpse as to how you might look when you are older, take a look at Mom and Dad and the rest of your immediate family. Genetics hold a lot of clues, but they don’t have the last say in aging. Lifestyle choices and extrinsic factors might even play a bigger role than our genetics.
Gravity
Have you heard of gravitational folds?
These are wrinkles caused by gravity pulling downward on the skin. Combine gravity with the body’s gradual decline in collagen and elastin production that begins at age 20 (yes you are reading this right) and you have the unavoidable formation of wrinkles.
We can’t stop gravity and we can’t stop the body’s natural life cycle no matter how much we stand on our head and drink collagen supplements.
Environment & Sun
Environmental factors like air pollution and toxins affect our aging process. By far the greatest ager is sun exposure. Some reports indicate that up to 90% of aging is caused by sun exposure!
Yikes. The good news is there is a lot you can do to prevent sun damage. First and foremost, wear sunscreen. Everyday. Even when it rains! When it comes to sunscreen it’s essential that you purchase one with a physical block. Make sure your sunscreen contains either zinc or titanium.
Hormones
More than 50 hormones regulate the human body, governing functions from digestion to reproduction to the thickness of our skin. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone have the most significant impact on the integrity of the skin.
Estrogen stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Progesterone stimulates the production of sebum and oil for hydration. Testosterone regulates thickness and firmness. As we age and hormone production declines, so does the quality of our skin. Once a woman reaches menopause and a man andropause, the signs of aging become noticeable and for some undesired.
Sleep
When it comes to sleep there is quantity and quality of sleep. Experts recommend a minimum of seven hours of sleep for adults. This has a lot to do with brain chemistry and ridding the brain of harmful toxins that not only age us but can cause disease. The second consideration is the quality of sleep. So many people toss and turn most of the night, interrupting the sleep cycle.
Tips for getting a good night’s sleep include:
- Limiting or eliminating alcohol
- Stopping eating two to three hours before bedtime
- Get plenty of physical activity during the day
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day
- Eliminating computers, televisions, and phones from the bedroom
Lifestyle Choices
This includes a melting pot of factors like nutrition, exercise, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, recreational drugs, prescription drugs, stress, body weight, and BMI. It even includes esoteric factors like negative thoughts.

When Do the Signs
of Aging Appear?
There is no magic number that suggests when the face starts to age, but over time the skin begins to change, and the first signs of aging appear. For most people, this is in their mid-thirties.
Skin can look older or younger than it’s years. People who had a lot of sun exposure, drink alcohol, eat poorly, or have stressful lives can begin to see signs of aging as early as their late twenties.
