Abstract

Skin aging is a complex process with variable factors influencing the aging process including genetics, environment and lifestyle. Skin structure, function, and the appearance of aging varies in different ethnicities. Skin is subjected to internal and external factors such as sun exposure and climate conditions. Due to the great variation in genetic diversity, climate, and culture, the signs associated with aging may also vary greatly between various ethnicities. For instance, in Asia with its vast territory, large population, and diverse cultures, there are big differences in signs of aging including pigmentation, wrinkles, and photoaging. Skin aging and skincare including protection, cosmeceuticals, topical anti-aging components, antioxidants, and peptides are discussed.
