The skin is affected by a number of external factors including aging processes, UV radiation, poor dietary intake and lack of nutrition, hormonal health, alcohol and cigarettes. From these factors, the dermal layer of the skin can become thinner and the connective tissue lacks firmness and elasticity leading to dull, wrinkly and saggy skin. A poor nutrient-void diet, lacking in fresh fruit and vegetables and quality proteins may affect overall intake of collagen from foods and affect skin health and appearance.
