Sun
Damage:
90%
of visible signs of premature aging are caused by sunlight.
- EYES-
The skin around the eyes is very delicate. Research shows that
ultraviolet radiation increases the likelihood of cataracts.
- MOUTH-
The skin around the mouth is naturally elastic, allowing us to
laugh and yawn. If this area is unprotected and over exposed to
the sun, "laughter lines" begin to appear.
- NECK-
The neck is often neglected when applying lotion and sunscreen.
For this reason, prominent wrinkles frequently develop on the
neck.
- IMMUNE
SYSTEM- Scientists found that overexposure to UV radiation
may suppress the immune system and the skin's natural defenses
