What Causes Premature Ageing?

It’s only natural for everyone to age, & ageing-well is something we should all embrace. However, there are many factors that impact your skins health & cause it to prematurely age. Primary factors contributing to premature ageing are elements such as: 

  • Photoageing (from the sun)

  • Pollution

  • Stress

  • Sleep deprivation

  • Diet

But to keep it short & simple, too much sun exposure is the biggest cause of premature ageing, research shows that the sun contributes to over 80% of the visible signs of ageing. Sun damage to your skin causes an inflammatory response & as a result it will start to break down the collagen in your skin.

Signs of premature ageing:

  • Wrinkles

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Age spots

  • Dryness

  • Loss of skin tone
