Abstract

Aging involves a progressive deterioration in physiological functions and increased disease susceptibility, impacting all organs and tissues, especially the skin. Skin aging is driven by intrinsic factors (genetics, cellular metabolism) and extrinsic factors (environment, lifestyle). Understanding these mechanisms is vital for promoting healthy aging and mitigating skin aging effects. This review aims to summarize the key factors influencing skin and intrinsic aging, providing a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms and contributing elements.

Research summary

The paper discusses intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing skin aging, which is relevant to the broader context of aging research. However, it primarily focuses on summarizing existing knowledge rather than presenting novel insights or solutions to the root causes of aging. Thus, while it contributes to the understanding of skin aging, its impact on the field is limited.
