Abstract: Skin aging is a degenerative process that naturally occurs as a person ages. It happens to everyone. Skin aging itself affects health and even one's confidence level. Skin aging is predicted to occur faster due to various factors from the external environment. Factors that cause skin aging are environmental and lifestyle. Factors such as sunlight and pollution inevitably affect skin pigmentation and cause chronic skin diseases. Lifestyle factors such as improper nutritional intake patterns and smoking add to the deterioration of skin function and clinical features of aging in a person. Extrinsic factors influence the skin aging process. Overall, changes in proper nutrition, smoking cessation, use of sunscreen and proper skin care are essential to prevent skin aging.
