Research shows that there are, in fact, two distinct types of aging. Aging caused by the genes we inherit is called intrinsic (internal) aging. The other type of aging is known as extrinsic (external) aging and is caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to the sun’s rays and lifestyle. While these changes usually begin in our 20s, the signs of intrinsic aging are typically not visible for decades. The signs of intrinsic aging are:
Fine wrinkles.
Thin and transparent skin.
Loss of underlying fat, leading to hollowed cheeks and eye sockets as well as noticeable loss of firmness on the hands and neck.
Bones shrink away from the skin due to bone loss, which causes sagging skin.
Dry skin that may itch–the inability to sweat sufficiently to cool the skin.
Graying hair that eventually turns white.
Hair loss.
Nail plate thins, the half moons disappear, and ridges develop.
