What Causes OurSkin To Age?

• Intrinsic ageing is a physiological process,
  often dependant on genetic factors, which cannot
  be reversed or slowed down.
• The extrinsic ageing is due to factors such as
  excessive UV exposure, environmental insults such
  as smoking and can be addressed by the following.

3
Reducing UV Exposure

• You can protect your skin from sun damage by
  wearing sunscreen daily.
• This should be a part of your daily routine, as
  habitual as brushing your teeth.

4
Reducing UV Exposure

• Apply sunscreen as directed on the label.
• Many people dont put enough on, so be liberal
  when you apply it and reapply every 1 to 3 hours
  or more frequently after swimming, sweating or
  direct sun exposure.

5
Reducing UV Exposure

• Avoid sunbeds and wear a high factor sunscreen in
  the summer months and on sunny holidays.
• Wearing sunglasses helps to reduce lines around
  the eyes caused by squinting.

6
Avoid Smoking

• Smoking speeds up the breakdown of collagen and
  constricts blood vessels which carry nutrients
  and oxygen to your skin.
• Smokers are more likely to get wrinkles earlier.

7
Avoid Yo-Yo Dieting

• Eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia
  create stress, which can cause premature ageing
  of the skin and will also affect nails and hair.

8
Consider Anti-oxidants

• If you use a skin care product that has
  antioxidants, apply it in the morning before
  using sunscreen.
• Both products work in tandem to protect your skin
  from any damage.

9
Eat Avocados

• Avocados are high in Vitamin A and omega-3 fatty
  acids that help to clear dead skin cells.
• They have glutamine an amino acid that acts as
  a skin cleanser and protects from harsh
  environmental factors helping to prevent
  wrinkles.

10
Conclusion

• Aesthetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle
  injections and fillers will help reduce signs of
  ageing.
