Premature aging is a battle that most women dread, however, what you need to keep in mind is that aging can be controlled with a combination of factors. Avoiding bad habits along with using the right products can help boost your chances of deterring the aging process.

There are various habits that you can easily be avoided or changed to help you improve the appearance of your skin. For example, bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol in excess, and taking too much sun can all lead to premature aging and accentuate the signs of aging. However, the one thing we are all faced to deal with is solar exposure.

The Sun can Sabotage your Facial Skin Rejuvenation Efforts

Not everyone likes to smoke or drink alcohol, but everyone likes to feel those sun rays touch their skin, especially after being indoors all day. UV radiation is the culprit for most of the problems that we face during the aging process. First of all, UV exposure will lead to the production of free radicals that can later lead to the destruction of cells and tissue.

Sun damage is cumulative. Therefore, you may not notice its effects when you are young. However, by the time you're in your forties you'll start noticing age spots and wrinkles appear in areas that are most exposed to the sun.

The best way of protecting your skin is by using a sunscreen or sun block. You'll need to reapply frequently to maintain a high level of solar protection. Here are some general guidelines to know how often to reapply sun block:

First, you'll have to expose your unprotected skin to the sun and see how how long it takes to turn red. There is no need to go overboard and feel the stinging sensation that is produced when you burn your skin. Secondly, multiply the time it took for your skin to get red by the SPF factor on the bottle.

For example, if it takes your skin 1 min to redden and your sunscreen has an SPF of 30, you should reapply the product every 30 minutes to maintain a constant level of protection. Also remember to apply your sun protection 20-30 minutes before you go outside.
