This is responsible for 90% of visibly aging skin, do you know what it is?
That’s right, it’s THE SUN!
Almost 90% of all visible changes that are associated with aging to our skin are linked to chronic UVA sun exposure.
Sunburn is induced mostly by the shorter wavelength of UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper beneath the skin surface into the dermis layer, generating free radicals that affect collagen elastin levels in your skin, a major component of the extracellular matrix, the "filler" substance that exists in between cells.
Come Springtime, when the sun starts getting stronger and the days get longer, I recommend using at least SPF 45 & 50 on your face to help prevent sunburn and shield yourself from harmful sun rays.
Do you use SPF in your daily skin routine?
Let me know if you have any questions in a comment, I look forward to hearing from you!
