Why does skin age? Visible signs of skin ageing (fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, etc.) appear because of our skin’s natural defence mechanisms, as well as slower cell renewal, turnover, activity, and recovery.
Skin ageing causes:
• Wrinkles
• Rough skin
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone
As early as our 20s, certain lifestyle habits, environmental effects, UV exposure begin compromising skin’s structural integrity. Our cell defenses start to weaken in the face of free radicals, and our natural ability to fight off skin damage declines. Cell renewal and turnover rates begin to naturally start to slowdown, which can diminish skin brightness.
In our 30s, collagen (which keeps skin firm) and elastin (which keeps skin bouncing back) begin to degrade, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Cell renewal and turnover continue to decline, leading to uneven skin tone and a dull complexion. Some cells can even become inactive or turn into “zombies,” giving rise to damaging inflammatory toxins that accelerate the appearance of skin ageing.
By our 40s, skin appears thinner and our naturally-protective barrier lipids are not as pronounced. Dehydration can be an issue. Depending on hormonal activity, a range of skin conditions may occur, including uneven skin tone or adult acne. More prominent signs of skin ageing can also appear, such as large pores and hyperpigmentation.
After our 50s, our barrier lipid layer lessens, leading to less efficient moisture retention and more potential for sensitivity and dehydration. Chronic stress and inflammation both inside and outside of the body delays skin recovery, leading to lasting marks and longer healing times. By now, skin can show prominent fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, rough skin, uneven skin tone, and large pores.
To cultivate healthy-looking skin, it’s imperative to evolve your skin care routine according to your lifestyle and environment. Adjustments are often necessary to account for a change in climate, health status, or new skin care goals. Talk to a Dermalogica skin therapist whenever you’re experiencing changes in your skin for tips on how to proceed.

How to use?
Skin Experts recommend incorporating Retinol products into your evening skin care routine. It’s important to begin slowly; try using a Retinol product 2-3 times per week, rather than every day and then increase frequency as your skin becomes accustomed to it. When using Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, apply a thin layer over face after cleansing. Be sure to keep out of eyes. If dryness or redness occurs, reduce frequency. It’s also very important to remember to wear an SPF every day, as using retinol products can increase sensitivity to UVA/ UVB rays.
