These proteins are essential for skin strength, thickness and elasticity. As their production slows, the skin becomes thinner, less resilient and slower to bounce back when stretched. This loss of collagen and elastin is influenced by a combination of internal factors, such as natural ageing and hormonal changes, and external factors, including sun exposure and environmental stress.</span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<h3>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">Intrinsic Ageing (Natural Decline)</span>\n</h3>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">- Collagen production gradually decreases with age, estimated at around 1% per year from early adulthood, leading to thinner skin with reduced structural support  </span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">- Elastin fibres lose their ability to stretch and recoil effectively, meaning the skin is slower to snap back and more likely to remain creased </span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">- Natural oil production slows over time, weakening the skin’s protective barrier and reducing moisture retention  </span>\n</p>\n<p>\n     \n</p>\n<p>\n    <span style=\"background-color:transparent;color:hsl(0,0%,100%);\">- Cell turnover becomes less efficient, so damaged or ageing skin cells are replaced more slowly, contributing to a fragile, dull skin appearance </span>\n</p>","00524f8a-98d9-4f47-b5d0-b4c407115118":[6786],"fb812f21-7614-47e0-b55a-8ed5607b5f4b":false,"7509c6f1-b682-433b-9708-0d83e83f3a1f":[]}
