Aging is a universal phenomenon which affects all living organisms; a gradual degradation of form and function as the body succumbs to ever accumulating adverse changes. The skin is the largest and most superficial organ of the human body; as such it is exposed to external stressors which would increase the production of ROS, the primary actor of the aging process. As a response, the cell wi…
Skin aging is an inevitable process in which the skin declines in quality which can be affected by intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
