Why does the scalp age faster than the rest of the skin?Updated 20 days ago

The scalp may age more quickly than other areas of the skin because it is constantly exposed to environmental stressors with less intervention and preservative practices in place than the face or body (e.g., sun protection). In addition, the scalp supports the continuous growth and regeneration of hair follicles, which requires significant energy and cellular activity. This constant demand may make the scalp more vulnerable to accelerated aging over time.
