Anti-Aging: Why Prevention Is Better than Correction

Remember how your skin looked and felt like when you were a child? Baby soft, smooth, bouncy and glowing? We definitely know that was what “good skin” is like but naturally, as we age, our skin might look and feel different now.

 

“If I could say one thing to young women, it would be that they really don't know how bad the sun is for our skin,” says Dr. Zamani, renowned skin dermatologist. The first step to reduce signs of premature aging is daily sunscreen use. Sun exposure contributes greatly to the skin’s aging process, causing dark spots, wrinkles, freckles, and pigmentations.

 

So the best thing to follow after a good skin regimen is to wear sunscreen — SPF 20. Our recommendation? The anti-pollution and multi-sun defense, UltraShield™.

So we’ve talked about sun exposure. But did you know one of the reasons why UV rays cause our skin to age is its creation of free radicals in the skin? Free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that take energy from healthy cells, leading to oxidative stress. In simple terms, that means AGING.
