Abstract
Age-related skin changes (wrinkles, atrophy, gray spots, loss of hydration, and elasticity) can be considered the result of intrinsic factors (chronological, hormonal, and genetic) and the consequence of life habits and environmental damage mainly due to ultraviolet radiation from the sun (responsible for skin photoaging). The correlation between diet and skin is well established in some skin diseases (acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis are a few examples). What is not yet entirely clear is what substances can improve skin appearance and aging for a person who is well nourished. Thanks to the analysis of recent scientific literature and my experience as a dermatologist and researcher, I will try to investigate the role of diet in counteracting skin aging by focusing on the Mediterranean dietary profile, which is characterized by the regular use of abundant fruits, vegetables, wholemeal bread and cereals, legumes, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, all of them fresh, natural, seasonal, and locally sourced.
