Spotted: Culprits that cause skin deterioration

Our skin is amazing — it is delicate yet resilient. Not only does it function to protect us from external dangers, it has the remarkable ability to regenerate itself naturally, replacing older skin cells every few weeks. However, many of us take for granted the skin's special quality, thinking its youth and vitality will last forever.

Nevertheless, the skin's ability to revive itself to its original health and suppleness slows down over time. In fact, the process of ageing accelerates with the turning hands of clock. Subsequently, skin loses its elasticity and 'bloom' of youth. This is predominantly caused by changes within our hormonal and blood circulation systems, rendering decreased skin health. Soon after, the tell-tale signs of ageing that we would like to wish away, begin to appear as uneven skin tone, fine lines, and dryness.

Even so, various factors contribute to skin health and condition, including lifestyle and environmental ones. More often than not, we hustle through the day neglecting to care for our primary protector — our skin. Further, it does not help that our surroundings sometimes silently contribute to exacerbating skin deterioration.

Beat the onset of ageing by recognising lifestyle and environmental factors detrimental to skin health. Practice a proper skin care regime that addresses skin needs to lend radiant, youthful and supple skin.

Cold and air-conditioned environments cause dry skin and sometimes itchiness. Facial skin responds by increasing oil production to counter the effect of dry surroundings but this is not the case for body skin, especially around elbows and knees. Drinking enough water may serve to keep skin hydrated, but a good lotion can keep skin moisturised and supple effectively longer.

UVA and UVB radiation are the culprits behind skin damage and darkening. Specifically, they damage skin by breaking up elastic fibres, making it less supple and more prone to wrinkles. More than that, UV radiation also stimulates the body to produce more melanin resulting in longer lasting darkened skin. Prevention is often said to be better than cure, more so given that we live in a tropical country. It is therefore important to give skin enough protection. Use a body lotion that contains Sun Protection Factor (SPF) and PA+ benefits to protect against the effects of UV radiation. Even better if the lotion promotes skin lightening, reduces dark spots and restores even skin tone.

Skin care regimes are influencing factors to its health. Excessive exfoliation or application of unsuitable moisturisers can aggravate skin condition and sensitivity. Further, showering in excessively hot water or using of harsh soaps can dry skin. Use a lotion with light texture with superior moisturising effects to leave skin smooth and tight. Lotions containing AHA, retinol and antioxidants can stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines while improving skin texture.

Lifestyle habits such as smoking decreases the flow of oxygen to skin as nicotine functions to constrict blood vessels. Consequently, delivery of nutrients to skin lowers, making it more difficult for skin to recover and regenerate. Further, this habit accelerates the ageing process causing premature wrinkles. Instead, trade this habit for a practice that can benefit your skin. Treat your skin better by using lotion with Vitamin B3 that nourishes your skin instead! It helps to keep your skin naturally fair and even tone.
