Anybody into this? I know I probably won't get a lot of responses, seeing as how you guys are all young and mostly male but I just thought I'd give it a shot.
Anyway, I am trying to find out the mechanism for why the skin loses volume as we age (I know that skin loses elasticity because it's losing collagen).
Also, and most importantly, is there anything I can do to help prevent the formation of wrinkles/dely the process of ageing? So far what I have been doing: wear sunscreen, eat food rich in anti-oxidants (supposedly these are good for wrinkle prevention), avoid the sun when it's at its strongest, such as between 10 am and 4 pm...etc. But is there anything else I can do? Such as laser resurfacing? I am kind of under the impression that laser resurfacing not only gets rid of wrinkles, it actually delays ageing? Though I could be wrong.
Anyway, any help is appreciated.
