The cycle of cell formation and renewal is continuous in a human body. The life cycle of a human skin cell is 28 days viz every 28 days, the body sheds its old skin cells and produces new skin cells. With ageing and maturing of skin, the quality of cells in terms of elasticity and ability to absorb and retain moisture is adversely affected. The longevity of cells also becomes less. This leads to ageing of skin.
The epidermis contains oil glands which secrete sebum. This secretion helps keep the skin lubricated and acts as a barrier to prevent loss of moisture. However, with age and corresponding body changes, the pores on the skin become enlarged and blocked with hardened secretions. This leads to ugly blackheads. The oil glands often get overactive, leaving a shiny layer on the face. Besides being unsightly, the excess oil on skin leads to unclean and dull skin.
