We discussed what changes occur to the skin on aging, the thinning of the skin, particularly in certain areas, and that the skin is more easily damaged with decreasing ability to heal itself. There is a decrease in elasticity and skin volume with a decrease in blood flow and lower glandular activity. Laxity, Rhytids, and erythema are all part of the aging process of skin. The use of products developed to counter some of these effects was discussed, along with the possible side effects which may develop, such as allergic responses.
