Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Aging

Intrinsic vs Extrinsic aging…Can we change it?

Intrinsic aging: internal factors that cause aging such as genetics and hormones.

This type of aging is determined by internal factors that your can’t usually change.

Extrinsic aging: external factors such as poor diet, sun, smoking, pollution, stress, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise.

Outside factors determine this type of aging… the excellent news is that we have more control over this type of aging. Monitoring our external surroundings and putting our diet and lifestyle choices first will help reduce extrinsic aging. Remember to get your beauty rest, eat your greens, and apply that SPF!
