The longer we spend in the sun, or exposed to pollution or cigarette smoke, the more our skin tends to become wrinkled. Beyond advancing age, these are the factors most commonly blamed for the development of signs associated with skin ageing.

However, they are not the only ones, as revealed by research conducted jointly by the Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI) at the University of California, San Diego, and L'Oreal Research & Innovation.
