Best Wrinkle Cream Reviews

We have learned much about the damage that the sun can cause to our skin, however the more that we learn the more concerned experts are becoming.  Most people know that sun damage can lead to all sorts of skin problems up to and including cancer.  It is, however, some of the milder damage that has experts’ attention these days, as the entire skin care industry is trying to combat premature aging.  In order to help consumers of all ages better understand the long term risks for prolonged sun exposure, the author describes the damage done to the skin based upon normal amounts of time in the sun. 

We all know someone that refuses to wear sun screen, as if it is some badge of honor that their skin is so damaged that it no longer even shows the results of too much time in the sun.  Don’t get me wrong, everyone loves to be in the sun, and to lay out by the pool or ocean to enjoy a relaxing day, but how often are we really considering what we are doing to ourselves?  How about our children?  We know it is important to wear sunscreen but do we really understand just what is happening to our skin, and what the results will be?

The average American has incurred enough damage by the time that they are 20 years of age to guarantee premature aging.  Think about that.  That means that while we were enjoying our invincible teenage years, we were actually guaranteeing that we begin to age well before our time.  But what is it that causes this aging process?  Well that is a hint more complicated.

The sun’s UV rays contain free radicals that penetrate your skin.  A free radical is a molecule with only one electron in it.  They seek out other molecules and acquire their electron, leaving that molecule damaged.  This process continues over and over, draining your skin of its healthy molecules and cells until ultimately it beings to wrinkle and sag.  Because your skin’s cells can only regenerate a certain number of times, losing much needed skin cells at such an early age in your life can result in that sagging and wrinkling far earlier than those without the sun damage. 

Now sunscreens are of course and essential part of the protection regimen, however there are other steps that we must take as consumers.  Anti oxidants are very popular right now and rightfully so, they combat the free radicals present within your skin, making them a great defense for sun damage that is actively occurring within our skin.  Another, more proactive, approach would be to adopt a regimen of cellular regeneration.  I am not talking about the use of abrasive peels or chemicals, but a nice all natural age defying serum that stimulates skin cell growth, can not only counteract much of the damage done, it can also defend against future damage and prolong youthful appearances.  

We all enjoy the sun, but we also want to look our best, so finding the right skin care routine for your specific lifestyle is ultimately what it is all about.  Be sure to not only consider your wants and needs, consider the choices you are making for your children as well.  Do you really want them to grow up with damaged, prematurely aged skin?  Take the time to protect and heal the damage done, and discuss the lessons you have learned with your children, they will thank you in the long run.
