This article describes the entirety of the skin's exposome and how, over the course of a lifetime, it can induce or modify skin's condition.

Changes in hormones with age or malnutrition also may affect inflammatory disorders. Even the lack of sleep can contribute to a pro-inflammatory state. See the article for more information.
