A 70-Year-Old Man’s Search for Younger-Looking Skin

 Could ‘antiaging’ products aimed at women reverse some of the damage years of sun and surgery had done to my face?

Skin aging (which starts around age 20) is a multifaceted, slow-motion car wreck. Assaulted by the environment, the sun and other factors, skin becomes less and less adept at producing its own hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and growth factors—all of which play roles in the skin’s health. Communication between cells also breaks down and causes chaos. Meanwhile, dysfunctional senescent cells, also known as zombies, multiply and release toxic missiles that cause other cells to become similarly impaired. The result: wrinkles, sagging, dryness and discoloration. Over time, even the skin’s DNA gets corrupted.

Deep within the Le Tuc d’Audoubert cave in Ariège, France, lies a breathtaking testament to the artistic prowess of our Upper Paleolithic ancestors: two remarkable bison sculptures dating back to the Magdalenian culture.
