TIPS FOR PREVENTING WRINKLES: THIS IS HOW SKIN AGING AND THE SUN ARE CONNECTED

As much as we love the sun and need it to live, we all know that it can damage our skin and accelerate skin aging. And even if some may find it hard to believe, we do soak up plenty of sun even in the city - especially in summer. The UV radiation penetrates the skin cells and thus accelerates skin aging. But with a few simple changes in your beauty routine, you can prevent sun-related wrinkles. Want to counteract the signs of skin aging caused by UV radiation? Then read on now to learn more!

PREVENT SKIN AGING CAUSED BY UV RADIATION

First, let's look at exactly how sun damage affects your skin. We will then go into how you can counteract it for a long-lasting youthful and firmer appearance. Throughout all of this, please never forget that, regardless of whether it is natural aging or skin aging promoted by external factors, everyone's skin is different and changes over time. While pronounced lines appear on some people's faces as early as their 30s, other women don't develop wrinkles on their faces until their 40s.

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 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 all year round - even in cloudy weather and in winter.

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 - 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 doing something for your appearance, 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. You can find out what your perfect skincare routine should look like further down in the text.

TIP 4: SUPPORT YOUR SKIN DURING REGENERATION

Use deep regenerating skincare products with antioxidant active ingredients so that free radicals released by UV radiation do not stand a chance of affecting your skin's appearance. For example, how about a moisturizing and intensely face serum?

TIP 5: THE CORRECT 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 youthful complexion for a long time, you should only consume alcohol and nicotine in small quantities, both of which are cell toxins.

HOW CAN I RENEW MY SKIN TO COUNTERACT AGING SKIN?

Incorporating an anti-aging serum into your skincare routine is a fundamental step to repairing your skin. The Life Plankton Elixir serum was specially developed to protect the skin from external environmental aggressors - including damage caused by UV radiation. The moisturizing serum, which contains regenerating Life Plankton in the highest concentration, protects, soothes, and renews your skin. This anti-aging serum promotes the cell renewal process, strengthens the skin's protective barrier, and preserves its structure by stimulating cell metabolism. In addition, it contains valuable hyaluronic acid, which provides your skin with optimal moisture and plumps it up. It also includes vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant and optical brightener. Day after day, your skin quality visibly improves: it looks more even, fine lines and wrinkles disappear, and the signs of aging are significantly reduced.

HOW CAN I GIVE MY SKIN A NATURAL LIFT?

Due to accelerated skin aging, which is often triggered by the sun, your skin can lose firmness, the contours sag, and wrinkles appear. Looking for a way to lift your skin naturally? A good solution is to repair your skin with the help of efficient active ingredients from the ocean - for example, with the Blue Therapy Uplift range from Biotherm. It is enriched with collagen peptides and red algae. Red algae are one of the most effective types of algae in the world, growing along the rocky Atlantic coast of Europe and North America. Thanks to the red algae, the anti-aging products of this skincare range visibly contribute to a youthful and firm skin structure. The contours are redefined, and the skin appears tightened, even and radiant. Applied daily, the velvety, pink-colored Blue Therapy Uplift Cream envelops your skin, giving it instant elasticity and a healthy glow. Your skin is even and hydrated, repaired and firmer.

HOW CAN I PAMPER MY BODY WITH INTENSIVE ANTI-AGING CARE?

Sun-related signs of aging affect not only the face, but also the entire body! Do you ever feel like your body could use a little more firmness? The Life Plankton Body Lotion, which is enriched with 5% Life Plankton™, lastingly improves the skin's quality and has a positive effect on the skin's firmness, water balance, and elasticity. This body lotion contains a mixture of three natural oils: rapeseed oil, almond oil and olive oil. It repairs the skin, provides it with valuable moisture, and makes it more supple and less rough.

Now that you know exactly how to counteract the signs of aging, it's best to say goodbye to all your worries and enjoy your thoroughly regenerated skin!
