Sculpt Your Dream Body with CoolTone: The Non-Invasive Muscle Toning Treatment
Learn how to manage fall allergies with tips on prevention, treatment, and common triggers like mold, ragweed, and dust.
Did you know that 90% of skin aging is caused by sun exposure? The skin is the largest organ in your body and is responsible for protecting you from harmful environmental factors. Direct exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays damages your skin and causes severe skin conditions like skin cancer. Oxidative stress from UV exposure is one of the most significant risk factors for skin health. In addition to that, your skin also serves as your barrier against germs and other external substances. Skin integrity decreases with time-based on your genetic predispositions and how you have treated your skin over the years.
While this article spells out some important information about how to protect and prevent skin aging, we highly recommend you read the full article, here are the key points we will focus on:
It’s important to understand the factors that cause aging skin if you want to keep your skin healthy and vibrant. As we age, most tissue types are subject to decrease and degradation with just a couple of outliers. Here are seven major factors that contribute to aging skin.
Without a doubt, the physical changes your bodies experience as you age affect your appearance. Listed below are seven significant changes in the appearance and function of aging skin based on the underlying physiological changes above.
There is no magic involved. You cannot prevent natural processes, but you can work on delaying or boosting skin health via the following extrinsic factors:
Get an annual Skin Exam performed by Bryn Mawr’s experienced professionals and allow them to educate and guide you to the results you want.
Start drinking more water to keep your hydration levels up and seal in moisture with humectant-rich lotions/creams. This will keep your skin plump, healthy and helps with overall skin health.
Don’t succumb to the itch-scratch cycle. If your skin is chronically itchy, but you see no visible rash, you may have internal factors contributing to your symptoms. Don’t put up with the itch; schedule an appointment with a Bryn Mawr dermatologist today!
It is never too late to seek shade or use a daily SPF 30+. Cover your skin with a hat or UPF-rated clothing. You can peruse the store at BMD to find your favorite sunscreen.
You’ve put your skin through the wringer over the years, now is the time to pamper it. First, find a sleep pattern that works for you. Eat a balanced diet with antioxidants like blueberries, pecans, kale, and even some indulgent dark chocolate. Get that blood pumping with whatever exercise strikes your fancy 2-3 times per week (but make sure to wear your hat and sunscreen if you’re headed outside). Your skin, and your other body systems, will thank you.
