How To Prevent Premature Skin Aging

Wear sunscreen

Sun exposure hastens skin aging. Seek shade, wear a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt, slacks, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-protected eyewear year-round,

and apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to all exposed skin. UPF-labeled apparel offers superior UV protection.

Daily facial moisturizer

Moisturizer keeps skin hydrated, making it appear younger. To save time, choose a moisturizer that contains sunscreen.

While sunscreen-containing moisturizers are convenient, it is important to remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours when you are outside.

Protect your skin

Wash your face twice a day and after sweating with hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, or non-comedogenic skincare products.

Avoid repetitive facial movements

Squinting, frowning, and smoking can all cause wrinkles. Wearing sunglasses outside helps to mitigate this.

Avoid tanning

Tanning beds, like the sun, emit UV radiation, which can cause skin cancer, wrinkles, and age spots. Instead, use self-tanner.

Keep fit

Exercise on a daily basis increases circulation and the immune system, making the skin appear younger. Tobacco use and heavy alcohol use harm the skin.

Try retinol

Retinol can be found in up to 2% concentrations in a variety of over-the-counter skincare products. Applying retinol lotion on a daily basis can help to postpone skin aging.
