Wrinkles. Spots. Enlarged pores. Facial Veins. Sagging Skin.
They can seem to appear all at once, or they may creep in as the years pass by --
but is age to blame?
While we frequently attribute our crows' feet and spider veins to getting older,
the truth is that over 90% of skin "aging" is due to sun damage -- not time.
What's more, the longer we stay in the sun, the lower our resistances are to UV
damage. Our bodies naturally defend us from sun damage in our early years by neutralizing
free radicals (reactive oxygen atoms that damage our skin's collagen) and much of
the UV radiation put forth by the sun. Eventually our lifetime of accumulated sun
exposure has finally worn down our natural shields. Our skin comes under direct
attack, and we begin to see more clearly the signs of sun damage: wrinkles, enlarged
pores, sagging skin, spotting or freckling, and spider veins.
