Preventing Skin Damage and Enhancing Healthy Skin

Most of the common causes of skin damage is greatly influenced by our lifestyle choices. The aging of the skin is accelerated with sun exposure, use of alcohol, smoking, and poor nutrition.


To enjoy years of healthy skin, it is important to minimize the effects that cause skin damage. Most important, skin condition is enhanced when it is protected from the sun. Take care to protect your skin when outdoors by wearing sunblock (SPF 30 or above), sun hats and sunglasses. Also, protect your skin from the inside with good nutrition and enhance healthy skin on the outside with proper cleansing and moisturizing.

Even if a person does all they can do to protect their skin, however, it will still reflect the effects of heredity, gravity and time. Many people are affected by childhood and adolescent diseases, acne, scars from disease or facial trauma, and actinic keratoses. Some wrinkles are almost inevitable from years of smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting. With age, the skin’s natural elasticity lessens as the collagen and elastin starts to break down.
