Skin aging is a natural and complex process that inevitably affects all human beings. It is characterized by being a multifactorial and progressive skin degeneration, classically divided into extrinsic aging or photoaging and intrinsic aging, which is related to genetic causes associated with endocrine-metabolic and immunological aspects. The objective of this work is to know the skin alterations intrinsic to the aging process. The Methodological Aspects used in the research is an integrative review. The libraries used for the search will be: the Virtual Health Library (VHL), through the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs) database; Scientific Electronic Library Online (ScIELO) and PubMed. The search will be limited to studies in human beings, written in English and Portuguese and that have been published in the last 10 years. In the results, it is expected that the synthesis of the studies found will contribute to update the knowledge that is already in the area, demonstrating that there is relevance in knowing the skin changes related to the aging process, in order to obtain significant care and reduction the incidence of malignant alterations.
