Skin Ageing

The skincare industry has sold consumers a topical story for decades. Real skin ageing happens at the cellular level, collagen, elastin, mitochondrial function, glycation, inflammation, and none of those respond meaningfully to yet another moisturiser. Understanding the actual biology of skin ageing is how you spend less money on products and get better outcomes.

6 takeaways from this chapter.

• The cellular hallmarks of skin ageing, senescence, glycation, mitochondrial decline, collagen loss
• The small number of topical ingredients with genuinely strong evidence (retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, SPF) versus the huge number that don't
• Why nutrition, sleep, and stress age skin faster than anything you put on it
• The role of sun exposure, the single biggest controllable driver of skin ageing
• Emerging treatments, microneedling, peptides, light therapy, with evidence ranked honestly
• Where copper peptides and cellular support genuinely move the needle
