Your skins enemies

Your skins enemies

What you do in your youth could cause you to age faster later on in life. Once your skin loses its elasticity, it cannot get it back. This loss of elasticity leads to more prominent lines and wrinkles.

The 60 year old woman I knew who had relatively wrinkle free skin had taken very good care of her skin and overall health all her life. The results show so well. She looks like a woman who is decades younger.

What are your skin's enemies?

The number one enemy of your skin is excess sunlight.

If you were exposed to too much sunlight as a kid, you would start to see the effects in your late thirties. You might think a tan looks healthy, but it is not. Your skin protects itself from excess sunlight by producing a tan. That tan is to protect the underlying tissues from damage by the ultra-violet rays of the sun. These rays cause structural damage to the skin, which affects its elasticity.

Too much sun exposure leads to earlier wrinkles. In fact, it has been linked to skin cancer.

What do you do?

• Do not go sun tanning.
• Stay out of the sun if possible.
• Use a sunscreen or sunblock.
• In some countries, women carry little umbrellas and hide in their shade whenever they go out in the sun.

Simple steps that would keep your skin looking younger, longer.

Pollution

Air pollution is another enemy of your skin. Smoke and other pollutants in the air damage your skin. The most common air pollutants contain sulphur. When these compounds that contain sulfur land on your skin, they produce sulphuric acid that damages your skin.

Your best defence against these pollutants is to stay covered and cleanse your skin regularly, thoroughly. Makeup protects your face from these pollutants too. Skin on parts of your body that are covered by clothing stay younger looking much longer.

Alcohol

Alcohol affects your skin in 2 negative ways.

Alcohol dehydrates your skin. Leaving it dull and dry.

Excess intake of alcohol overdilates your blood vessels. Over a long period of time such drinking habits weaken your capillary walls to the point that they could burst, leaving unsightly splotches.

Yo yo dieting

Each time you gain weight, your skin stretches. When you lose weight quickly, the skin does not have enough time to adjust accordingly, leading to sagging skin or wrinkling skin.

Smoking

Nicotine reduces the oxygen and nutrients to your skin as it makes your blood vessels and capillaries contract.
Smoking causes premature aging of your skin.
