Aging is a natural process which all people face but what is important is to age gracefully. Aging cannot be prevented but can be slowed to some extent by maintaining a healthy regimen. Over a period of time, our skin, which is most exposed to the harsh environment, bears the brunt of damage resulting from internal stress, harsh rays of the sun, diseases, our lifestyle/habits, inherited genes etc. As we grow older our skin begins to reflect these damages in the form of premature wrinkles, sagging skin, the proverbial crow’s feet, laugh lines etc. on our face. But if we start taking care of our skin at an early stage we can go a long way in giving our skin the firmness and suppleness which it so deserves.
