How Aging Changes Your Skin
To understand why bathing habits need to change, you first need to understand how skin transforms with age.
AGE-RELATED CHANGE WHAT HAPPENS CONSEQUENCE
Thinner skin The outer layer (stratum corneum) loses density Less protection against irritants and moisture loss
Reduced oil production Sebaceous glands become less active Skin becomes drier and more prone to cracking
Decreased natural moisturizing factors Skin produces fewer of its own hydrating compounds Impaired ability to retain moisture
Slower cell turnover New skin cells replace old ones more slowly
