As We Age.

As we age, collagen and elastin decline, leading to wrinkles, loss of firmness, and dryness. Slower cell turnover dulls the skin, while sun exposure and pollution accelerate aging. However, using vitamin C serums, botanical-rich creams, nourishing oils, and gentle cleansers can help maintain a youthful, radiant complexion.
