Do you ever wonder why you are aging as quickly as you are? Different people will experience wrinkles and sagging differently but there could be some factors out of your control that are speeding it up.
Instead of panicking, learning which factors cause aging is the best way to avoid them and keep your skin looking great. Here are the top factors that influence your skin and how to protect yourself!
Pollution
Going about our daily lives, it’s so easy to forget the role our environment has on our skin. While you may live in the city or in the country, pollution can still find its way to your town and to your skin. When your skin is exposed to pollution, it can break down the skin barrier and accelerate the speed of collagen loss which causes wrinkles. It can also leave you with rashes, redness, and sensitive skin if left untreated.
When pollution starts taking its toll and you’ve noticed more breakouts, more dullness, and more wrinkles, it’s time to start protecting your skin. The easiest way is by never skipping a day of washing your face.It may seem like a mundane task but washing your face helps keep pollution off your face and your skin safe. If you opt for using an oil cleanser, it will pull triple duty to clear pollution, remove makeup, and gently exfoliate your skin for a glowing and younger-looking complexion.
Loss of Collagen
One of the worst parts about getting older is that our bodies do us no favors in trying to fight signs of aging. As we get older, our bodies naturally start to lose collagen, which is essential for keeping your skin wrinkle-free and lifted. As early as 30, your collagen production starts depleting and the one and only way to help your skin is to use ingredients that will replenish your collagen production.
Skincare experts are all in agreement that the best ingredients for collagen production are peptides. Not all peptides are made equally and the most effective ones are often cosmeceutical peptides that have been scientifically proven to give results. These peptides include Martixyl Synthe 6 and Reproage which are the hero ingredients of our best-selling Repair & Release Cream. For some skin types, wrinkles were minimized in as little as 30 days!
Stress
Stressing out isn’t just annoying, it turns out that it is actually terrible for your skin too! Sometimes, we can get swept up with life or feel stressed out by current events. In any case, stress can lead to breakouts, wrinkles, and oily skin. This is because stress causes your body to make hormones like cortisol, which tells glands in your skin to make more oil and causes strain on your skin. No matter how bad your stress is, there are easy ways to minimize the damage.
If you are suffering from stress, it’s important that you make sure to take extra good care of your skin with a balancing and complete skincare routine. Taking care of your skin will help rebalance your skin’s oils, wash away excess sweat that causes dullness, and help prevent wrinkles. Managing stress may not be easy but at least managing your skin during stressful times can be!
