We know that changes of season can lead to changes in your skin and its appearance. But does this impact the ageing process? We get the lowdown from our experts. <\/em><\/p>\n

What does ageing skin look like? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a subjective topic, as it can happen at different stages and look different for all of us. Generally as we age, the production of collagen in our skin slows down. This is worth knowing about in ageing, as collagen is a key component in keeping the skin plump and firm. <\/p>\n

Dermatica customers are mostly concerned with fine lines and deep wrinkles. Other symptoms you may experience can include dryness, redness, uneven pigmentation or skin tone, small visible blood vessels (telangiectasia) and thin skin. However, people don\u2019t necessarily realise these are related to ageing straightaway. <\/p>\n

Ageing is natural and happens to us all. However, for some people, the symptoms can be more marked or cause more distress. This is where Dermatology expertise can come in handy. <\/p>\n

It can be helpful to divide ageing into two processes to understand it a little better. These are known as intrinsic and extrinsic ageing.
\n Intrinsic<\/strong> ageing relates to factors that we can\u2019t control, such as skin starting to sag, feeling drier or more brittle. A lot of these are hereditary and based on your ancestral background, so they can happen at different points in your life.
\n Extrinsic<\/strong> ageing refers to our response to the environmental factors we\u2019re exposed to, like pollution, sun exposure or smoking. These can accelerate or prevent the ageing process depending on what we\u2019re looking at, which I\u2019ll dive into next. <\/p>\n

What are the extrinsic causes of skin ageing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation<\/strong> is the biggest extrinsic factor associated with ageing skin. It\u2019s estimated that UV exposure can account for up to 80% of the signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and dryness. You can find out more about the different effects that UVA and UVB have on the skin here.<\/p>\n

Pollution<\/strong> exposure is something more people are becoming aware of, particularly for those of us living in urban areas. Pollutants such as nitrous dioxide, carbon monoxide and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, that have hit headlines for other public health reasons, also have an impact on the skin. Pollutants lead to the generation of free radicals on the skin together with UV radiation, which can lead to inflammation and slowing of skin cell growth. This can lead to ageing symptoms. <\/p>\n

Smoking<\/strong> or being exposed to secondhand smoke also plays a part in skin ageing. Along with your other organs, smoking depletes the skin, of the protective measures that help it combat free radicals. This leads to oxidative stress, pigmentation and accelerated skin cell death. Comparative clinical studies have shown a link with smoking to further skin cell ageing in the form of wrinkles, which also becomes more prominent depending on the number of years someone smokes.<\/p>\n

Diet<\/strong> and ageing is a topic we get asked a lot about. While it seems like a no-brainer, we don\u2019t have enough clinical evidence to advise whether this has a significant impact or not. Following a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables, along with limiting alcohol and caffeine intake are as far as I advise. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Which season does your skin \u2018age faster\u2019 in, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main seasonal factors that can affect your skin are moisture levels, and UV radiation. <\/p>\n

In winter months, as moisture levels in the atmosphere drop, this can put pressure on the skin barrier to retain moisture. This may dehydrate the surface of the skin barrier, leading to tight or dry skin with a rougher-feeling texture. <\/p>\n

UV radiation is ever present, but it\u2019s at its highest in the summer months. The summer is theoretically where the ageing process can accelerate. However, it\u2019s important to note that extensive scientific research on this doesn\u2019t currently exist (yet). Skin is likely to age the fastest when the days are longest, as people are more likely to spend time outside. In the summer, the amount of daily sun exposure is greater than in other seasons. People are also more likely to get sunburned, leading to damage within skin cells, which accumulates over time and leads to signs of ageing as described above.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s important to think about any changes to the weather in your travel schedule. Skiing or snowsports can really increase your UV exposure based on reflection of the snow and a higher altitude, which could have a big impact on your skin if you don\u2019t take the right precautions. <\/p>\n

What ways can you keep your skin looking youthful and radiant all year round?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sunscreen<\/strong> is paramount to your routine if you\u2019re trying to prevent the signs of ageing. We recommend a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection of an SPF of 30 or above, applied at least 10 minutes before going outside and repeated every few hours. <\/p>\n

Cleansing and moisturising<\/strong> twice a day to remove pollution and dirt from the skin, especially before sleep, to make sure your skin can regenerate overnight. <\/p>\n

Active ingredients<\/strong> can really help reduce symptoms of ageing, or reverse photodamage. We\u2019ve run through our favourites below:
\n Retinoids help to stimulate collagen production in the skin, and reverse photodamage. Over a 6 – 9 month period, tretinoin as an example shows significant improvement at the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
\n Antioxidants in your skincare routine can protect your skin from free radical damage. We\u2019re still in the early stages of understanding what works best, but certain compounds such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) have shown promise in providing more radiance to skin, and fading pigmentation. <\/p>\n
