Aging is claimed to be a method happening in all members of a population after maturity.  This involves the steady decline in vital capacities and at last resulting in death. 

The science that deals with aging is sometimes known as gerontology.  This is important in the sector of drugs and also cosmetics.  Aging is claimed to occur due to break to DNA ( related to the telomeric sites of chromosomes ), accumulation of mutations and so on.  Environmental factors as pollution and radiations can also influence aging.  Smoking, consuming alcoholic drinks and taking to drugs are the social factors that contribute to aging. 

Many sicknesses like Alzheimer and Cancer are related to age.  Progeria syndrome is a rare illness in which the patient, as young as 9 years old, exhibits signs of aging occurring in 70 years old.  Werner’s syndrome has similarities to Progeria except that its manifestation occurs later in life.  Cells from these patients are cultured to study aging process.  Memory and intelligence also diminish in the later years of life and thus elderly are regarded as as burden in several families.  Therefore researchers try and probe into the science of aging and anti-aging to find answers. 

With enlarging consciousness in grooming and beauty, by both men and women alike, the cosmetic industry is not very far from cashing in by introducing anti- aging products.  Young looks are always envied.  One more reason why everybody feels the necessity to possess fresh vitality isn’t just for the looks but also the energy.  Slowing aging aims at slowing the process of aging which is highly complex and involves different molecules and their interactions.  Rejuvenation is the process of repairing many damages to the cell.  Rejuvenation spas are out in the market that promise clearing those wrinkles and getting fresh looks.  Hence age-defying products are an any cosmetic company’s biggest strength.
