During the years the skin undergoes changes in structure that lead to a loss of function and create the skin of elderly. This process of cutaneous aging is multifactorial and is triggered by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic aging is mainly due to the genetic background of an individual. Extrinsic aging is multifactorial : tobacco, sun radiation, nutrition, stress, lack of sleep, pollution, drug intake, alcohol, etc. The major change that occurs with intrinsic and extrinsic aging is that the skin becomes wrinkled, yellow, lax, dry and leathery.
