Sun exposure and wrinkles

Okay, now that I understood how smoking causes wrinkles, I just had to find out how too much of sun caused wrinkles. I mean, going into the sun is inevitable. Moreover, once again, too much of sun can lead to skin cancer is something I have always heard; but too much of sun causing wrinkles is something new to me!

According to what I found out, as the sun emanates ultraviolet or UV radiation, your skin starts aging prematurely. In fact, I was surprised to learn that the sun was the most important cause for skin cancers and aging skin where 90% of signs of premature skin aging resulted from overexposure to ultraviolet radiation. As most of these effects start by the age of 20, you can see the first signs of wrinkles 20.

The UV rays that the sun emits is divided based on its wavelength. UVC radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and thus is

Smoking causes Wrinkles

Though I am not a smoker, I never actually knew that smoking is a cause for wrinkles. I always knew that smoking caused cancer, emphysema and other diseases, but never expected it to cause wrinkles, and even sagging skin, dark circles and puffiness! So I was naturally intrigued to find out how actually smoking caused wrinkles.

This was when I learnt that like other pollutants, smoking damaged the skin by producing free radicals. In case you didn’t know, free radicals are unstable molecules that attack healthy cells to bond with them.

This bonding destroys the vigor of the cells, and is what makes your skin look dull, dry and blotchy. By the way, it is these same free radicals in smoke that cause cancer and other chronic diseases.

Consider LifeCell Anti Aging and Anti Wrinkle Cream

Why do I use Lifecell?



I started using LifeCell Anti Wrinkle Cream after I tried and tested many other creams out there. A friend's mom had recommended LifeCell for the first time. I tried the cream at my friend's house within the first hour, I knew this was going to work for me. Fortunately enough, Southbeach Skin Care had a 30 day free trial that allowed me to try LifeCell for one month without paying upfront. I liked the results and also got a deal on my refills, so I could pay a discount price on the refills.

LifeCell actually was the last anti wrinkle cream I "TRIED". It worked and despite its price, I realized that in the long run it is very economical and if you consider the other alternatives like Botox, LifeCell is way affordable.

The best thing I like about LifeCell is that you could see how well it reduces the appearance of wrinkles within minutes.

If you go to their official web site www.LifeCellSkin.com/30days/ you will get access to their current offer that lets you try LifeCell without paying upfront fee. Take advantage of it, I did.

What causes wrinkles?

What causes wrinkles?

Now that I learnt that wrinkles and other aging signs can start at such a tender age of 20, my curiosity in learning what exactly causes wrinkles was tickled. I just had to find out what exactly lead to wrinkles, and why people at such a young age started developing signs of aging in the prime of their life.

1. In my research, I learnt that as we grow older, our skin undergoes various changes. The epidermal cells (which are the upper skin layer cells) start to divide slowly. This makes it difficult for the skin to repair itself, but thus lead to the thinning of the epidermis.

A thin epidermis makes the skin papery and fragile, and it slowly starts losing water. Moisture is essential to the skin; and once your skin starts losing water
