Why are kids' skin so glowing and adults' skin, no matter how unwrinkled, is so dull by comparison?

Question

What makes our skin go from glowing and clear to dull and faded-looking when we're adults?

Answer 1

cuz youz a prune.

Answer 2

Adult skin doesn't glow like kids' skin for gazillions of reasons:

1.  Years of exposure (usually without sunscreen) to the sun

2.  Exposure to environmental toxins...smog, dust

3.  Stuff adults consume that kids don't:  alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine

4.  Stress

5.  Normal aging processes:  as we age, collagen production slows (the connective tissue in skin that helps it stay supple); cell renewal and formation slow

6.  Lack of physical activity, which helps with circulation and overall body/organ functioning

7.  Dehydration--not consuming enough water

8.  Hormonal stuff

There's probably a lot more reasons, but those were what I could think of off the top of my head.  Makes me want to exfoliate and moisturize right now!  :)

--->Good Luck!
