Up to 50% of the signs of visible skin ageing come from our environment, not genetics. Climate, UV exposure, pollution, sleep and stress can all accelerate skin ageing. Turn back the clock by minimising skin stressors, using SPF daily, and being proactive with your skin care.

There are a host of factors that contribute to the way our skin ages. Of course, taking care of our skin is crucial—but did you know that up to 50% of visible signs of skin ageing can also come not from genetics, but from our environment? Factors like climate, UV exposure, pollution, sleep, diet, and stress can all accelerate skin ageing. Read on to find out more about the causes and visible results of skin ageing – and what you can do to help skin fight back.

The visible results of skin ageing

As noted above, skin ageing can be heavily influenced by our environment and lifestyle. The effects of these factors can manifest in a number of ways that accelerate skin ageing, including:

  • Skin’s oxygen levels can become depleted, which leads to a dull, tired appearance
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sagging skin

So, how can we turn back the clock to minimise visible skin ageing? 

It sounds simple, but the easiest way to do this is to protect your skin from negative environmental factors. This means no more dehydrated days or late nights! It’s important to treat your entire body right, from the inside out, to help minimise the effects of skin ageing over time. Some ways to do this are:
  • Get enough sleep (7-8 hours per night).
  • Drink more water. Yes, the 8 glasses a day recommendation is imperative!
  • Minimise overprocessed food, which can lead to dull skin.
  • Use SPF daily – even when it’s cloudy. Sunscreen use is key in protecting skin from exposure to environmental pollution and harmful UV rays, which can lead to hyperpigmentation, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles.

It’s time to get proactive with your skin care
