So the sooner the better with aging skin care. What causes skin to age is a few different things, but the major visible reason for aging skin comes down to damage done to the elastic proteins your skin has to keep it tight. What causes the damage is chiefly free radicals. What the heck are free radicals you ask? A free radical is just a fancy chemistry word for an oxygen compound gone wrong. It actually doesn’t have to be oxygen, but in our environment it almost always is. An oxygen molecule that has been split is highly reactive and very corrosive to pretty much everything it comes in contact with, including the proteins in your skin.
Since oxygen is everywhere, you can’t really avoid this corrosive effect all together. However, you can lower the amount of free radicals that occur in your skin in a few ways. UV radiation is a major source of free radicals, as it is just the right wavelength to split oxygen molecules, so staying out of the sun is a good form of aging skin care. A little sun light everyday is okay, and actually good for you, but its never a good idea to lay out all day in the sun if you’re worried about aging skin care. Even using sunscreen, some UV rays are going to get through and do damage over time.
