Overexposure to the sun.

While we all covet the flawless golden tan, countless studies have shown that overexposure to the sun not only causes most of the wrinkles and age spots on our faces, but leads to skin cancer, one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the United States. Protect your skin and face by using a moisturizer that contains both UVA and UVB protection. Don’t skimp on protection, use a high SPF and lather up.

Pollution.

The pores on your skin act as entry points for pollutants that are present in the environment. While the negative effects of pollution are not as drastic as UV exposure, pollution can clog pores and even interfere with the body’s ability to build and repair skin cells which can lead to premature aging, wrinkles, and even cancer. In order to counteract a majority of these side effects, implement a daily cleansing regime to keep your skin healthy and strong.

Dry Air.

Whether it’s the dry winter air, or blasting the air conditioner in the summer, dry air can wreak havoc on your skin (Physicians Desktop Reference). To keep your skin looking plump and youthful, lather up on the moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and counteract the drying effects of the air with a humidifier.
