As we age, our skin naturally changes, but did you know there are two different types of aging that impact your skin’s health and appearance? Intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging both play a role in how our skin looks over time. At Pear Beauty Spa, we’re here to help you understand the difference and give you the tools, and treatments, to age beautifully and confidently.

What Is Intrinsic Aging?

Intrinsic aging is the natural aging process that happens over time, it’s in our DNA. Starting in our mid-20s, collagen production slows, skin cell turnover decreases, and skin becomes thinner and drier. These changes are inevitable, but their effects can be managed with proper care.

What Is Extrinsic Aging?

Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, is caused by external factors that speed up the aging process. This includes:

• Sun exposure (UV rays)
• Pollution
• Smoking
• Stress
• Poor nutrition
• Lack of sleep

Unlike intrinsic aging, extrinsic aging is preventable and controllable, which means your daily habits and skincare routine can make a huge difference. Thankfully, there’s a lot we can do to slow down the signs of aging and promote healthy, radiant skin at every age.
