Internal (Intrinsic) Factors are defined as what?

Health factors outside the body
Factors related to our body's internal health
Skin conditions influenced by environmental factors
External beauty treatments

The correct answer is: Factors related to our body's internal health

Internal (Intrinsic) Factors pertain to elements that arise from within the body, significantly impacting overall health and skin condition. These include genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, metabolism, and overall health status. For instance, an individual's genetic makeup can influence skin elasticity, moisture retention, and susceptibility to certain skin conditions. Hormones, which fluctuate due to factors like age or stress, also affect skin characteristics such as oil production or the occurrence of acne. On the other hand, factors that are categorized as external, such as environmental influences or beauty treatments, fall outside the scope of intrinsic factors. These external elements can affect the skin's appearance and health but do not originate from within the body, hence are not considered internal. Understanding this distinction is key in esthetics as it guides appropriate skincare regimens and treatments tailored to the individual's unique internal constitution.
