Changes in skin from your 40s
How is veryone ?doing in this cold weather? I have sensitive skin, so my skin can't keep up with the changes in the weather during this time of year, and I have hard time keeping my skin hydrated. Well, I'm sure some of you reading my column are under 40, but today I'm going to talk about changes in skin from your 40s, so please keep this in mind regardless of your age.
As you enter your 40s, you will gradually begin to feel changes in your body due to hormonal changes (or rather abnormalities) as you approach menopause. So what is happening to your skin, and why do these abnormalities occur? As female hormones decrease, your skin becomes thinner and your metabolism slows down, so the production of new skin cells also slows down. When your skin becomes thinner, the important moisture contained in your skin is more likely to escape, and it becomes more prone to dryness. When your skin becomes dry, your skin's defense ability to protect it from external stimuli also decreases. This makes it easier for wrinkles to form and more sensitive to ultraviolet rays. The slowing of metabolism also makes it difficult to improve existing age spots and wrinkles, and if nothing is done, the wrinkles will become deeper and the skin will become dull.
This is the change in skin that occurs from your 40s to your 50s. Around the age of 50, when menopause occurs, female hormones also drop rapidly, meaning aging continues to accelerate. So how can we fight against this accelerated aging? In my recent study of anti-aging, I learned the word "epigenetics". When I searched for epigenotic in Google, the following came up in Japanese:
"Epigenetics is the study of the mechanism by which cells control gene activity without changing the base sequence of DNA. "Epi" means "above" in Greek, and "epigenetic" means factors beyond the genetic code. Epigenetic changes are chemical modifications that occur in DNA to control the on and off of genes. Although these modifications occur to DNA, they do not change the base sequence that makes up the DNA. The epigenome is the collective term for all modifications that control gene activity (expression) in the entire DNA (genome) in a cell."
...If I read this in Japanese, I would have frowned, but in short, from the perspective of anti-ageing, it means that by controlling the genes that cause aging, we can prevent the aging phenomenon. First of all, skin aging is caused by external and internal factors. Internal factors are aging that are originally built into DNA, and it is said that 80% of aging is caused by external factors. Lifestyle habits, environment, emotions, and more all affect aging. There is also data that shows that 70% of skin condition is determined by home care. This means that the more you pay attention to things in your daily life and perform proper home skin care, the more you can delay aging. Epigenotic helps to keep internal factors at bay. This time, we will be incorporating a special skin care product that uses this technology.
