PREVENT SKIN AGING CAUSED BY UV RADIATION
First, let's look at exactly how sun damage affects your skin. While natural aging is inevitable, sun-induced skin aging is preventable. Some people see deep wrinkles in their 30s, while others don’t see them pop up until their 40s. This difference often comes down to proper sun protection and wrinkle prevention.
HOW DOES THE SUN DAMAGE MY SKIN?
While sunlight helps regulate sleep patterns, replenish valuable vitamin D levels, and lift your mood, it can also do damage to your skin. Once UV rays penetrate skin cells, they can affect cell growth and the skin's appearance. Over time, the skin loses its natural elasticity due to the sun's rays - and the first wrinkles develop. With age, the skin also loses the ability to repair itself. This is exactly when the first signs of aging appear.
THIS IS HOW TO PREVENT WRINKLES AND AGE SPOTS!
Did you know that only 20% of all signs of skin aging are unavoidable? This means that you have 80% of the control! This in turn implies that you can counteract or prevent many signs of aging yourself. More good news: there are natural skincare ranges with highly effective products that can regenerate your skin! Here, we will reveal to you the best anti-aging skincare tips with which you can counteract skin aging.
TIP 1: SUNSCREEN PREVENTS WRINKLES
No matter if you are lying on the beach or in the city, a good sunscreen or day cream with a high sun protection factor is the be-all and end-all against wrinkles and other sun-related signs of skin aging. UVA and UVB rays penetrate the skin even in normal daylight. To prevent skin aging caused by the sun, you should therefore protect yourself from UV radiation and sun damage wrinkles. Apply Aquascreen Activewear Daily UV Fluid SPF50+ year-round, even in winter or on overcast days.
TIP 2: AVOID MIDDAY SUN
Even if you are a passionate sun worshipper, it is better to avoid the intense sunlight during midday, especially in summer, and find a place in the shade. If you stay in the shade between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., you won't get more than 70% of the harmful rays in the first place, and your skin will thank you with a youthful, firm complexion! Did you know: if you regularly apply an SPF and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, you're not only preventing premature skin aging, you're also reducing the risk of skin diseases such as skin cancer.
TIP 3: USE THE RIGHT ANTI-AGING PRODUCTS
In addition to a day cream with SPF, you should pay attention to a good skincare routine with selected products. Ideal active ingredients that help prevent wrinkles and sagging skin are collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and other regenerating ingredients. These ingredients help restore elasticity, hydrate deeply, and support long-term wrinkle prevention.
TIP 4: SUPPORT YOUR SKIN DURING REGENERATION
UV exposure creates free radicals that damage your skin cells. That’s why antioxidant-rich products, such as the Life Plankton Regenerating Serum, are essential. Formulated with Vitamin C, Biotech Plankton™ and hyaluronic acid to protect, regenerate and hydrate.
TIP 5: THE RIGHT DIET PREVENTS WRINKLES
In addition to the right anti-aging products and preventive sun protection, you can counteract wrinkles and fine lines with your diet. Incorporate plenty of vegetables, fish, nuts, and fruit into your diet to provide your skin with valuable antioxidants and vitamins. To maintain a younger-looking complexion for a long time, you should only consume alcohol and nicotine in small quantities, both of which are cell toxins.
ADD AN ANTI-AGING SERUM TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
