Being old can not be deny, but we can slow the trend, and we can keep yong through some tips. If you body is a temple, then your skin is it’s weather-shield. Exposure to different kinds of weather can damage your skin and cause early ageing. But you can combat this. Research shows that there are two different kinds of ageing. The first kind is caused by intrinsic and inherited factors while the other is caused by external factors such as the sun.

Just a few minutes of sun exposure each day is enough to do damage to the skin. In fact some studies show that the most harmful times can be during that quick lunch time dash from the office to the car. But all these quick outdoor dashes add up and without adequate sun protection can do much damage.

Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, blotchy complexion, warts and skin cancer can all be traced back to over exposure to the sun.

Dermatologists use the term ‘photoaging’ to describe the damage done to the skin by the sun. The extent of photoaging will be determined by a person’s natural skin colour and their length of exposure to the sun.

But photoaging is not something that happens overnight. It develops over years and years of regular sun exposure, so the damage accumulates and the skin looses its ability to repair itself.

Scientific studies show that over time, the sun breaks down collagen and affects the skin’s ability to produce more collagen. It also attacks the elastin in the skin so the skin becomes loose and wrinkled, rough and leathery. 

The best way to protect against this kind of damage is to use a good daily defence SPF cream. Image Skincare have created a daily defence universal moisturiser that has a SPF of 30. It contains the potent anti-oxidant thiothaine as well as other essential vitamins.
As well as a daily moisturiser, it protects the skin from free radical damage. It is water resistant, non greasy and acts as an excellent make-up base.
