What external factors can accelerate skin ageing?

Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature skin ageing. It is important to wear daily sunscreen.

Free radicals in the environment can lead to ageing. It is important to wear antioxidants in your skincare during the day.

Smoking damages the collagen and elastin fibres, as well as reducing blood flow to the skin. Hence, quitting smoking is the best thing you can do for your skin as well as for your general health.

A diet high in sugar and processed foods can accelerate ageing. Therefore, having a healthy, balanced diet is important.

Stress can contribute to premature skin ageing by increasing inflammation. Therefore, it is important to find ways to manage your stress, such as being mindful, doing meditation, and exercising.
