Many factors increase the effect of aging, adding to the deterioration of the appearance of the face. Some of the major causes of facial deterioration are:

Weather and the elements : Sunlight, constantly changing temperatures, the wind, and pollution in the air can combine to have adverse effects in the aging in a person’s face. UV rays from the sun can easily damage the skin, and contact to the air’s pollution can cause irritations, rashes, and accelerate the look of aging.
Physiological changes : Changing hormones due to medication and developing or existing medical conditions can contribute to the deterioration of the face’s appearance.
Unhealthy lifestyle : Excessive drinking and smoking, unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, and incomplete personal hygiene can all contribute to the effects of the aging process.
Genetics : Genes can greatly affect the face’s appearance, and its ability to maintain its youth and vitality. People who have a healthy lifestyle, have proper grooming and hygiene, and take the necessary precautions when going outside, can still find their skins and appearance severely showing signs of aging because of their genes.

These factors all contribute to the effects of aging on the face, which is why it is very beneficial for people who wish to maintain their youth to undergo any of the multiple facial rejuvenation procedures available today.
