Which factors accelerate premature skin aging?
An increased UVB load means — according to the opinion of leading dermatologists — an increased risk of cancer. In contrast, the UVA radiation can lead to chronic sun-caused damages, such as premature skin aging. Although the external skin layer renews itself every four weeks from the bottom up, it shows considerable signs of such aging. Scars, wrinkles and other skin changes narrate what your skin has experienced. The skin forgets nothing, particularly not sunburn. Your skin heals itself on a purely superficial level, and though it’s invisible at first, sun-caused damage has been irrevocably burnt into the skin. During the course of your life, the consequences of excessive UV radiation emerge: Premature skin aging and under certain circumstances, even skin cancer. That is why it depends on your skin type and personal lifestyle as to when the first wrinkles appear.
