What happens to your face as you age? You may notice that as you get older, your skin feels thinner, wrinklier or saggier - but the issue is so much more than skin deep. In reality, there are some major structural changes that happen within your face and bones as you grow older, and many of these changes are a result of genetic (inherited from your family) or lifestyle factors, like diet or smoking. Join Dr Shauna as she unpacks the skin changes that occur with ageing, explaining the reason why these changes occur. You may have heard of collagen and elastin, but what are they exactly? How do they impact how you age, and in turn, how you look? Listen now to find out.
