Sunscreen slows down aging of the skin

Regular use of sunscreen can save your skin from premature aging - a recent study showed the Australian scientists who found that people who frequently use sunscreen, much less wrinkles than those who do not do it.



It turned out that sunscreen not only protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays, but also prevents the formation of wrinkles. The study began several years ago and was conducted on 900 Australian men and women aged 25 to 55 years old. Half of them were recommended daily use cream with a high SPF, even during normal walking, and the other half, in contrast, offered to use sunscreen from time to time, for example, during a beach holiday. Before starting the experiment, the scientists evaluated the outward signs of aging test on a six-point scale, and after four and a half years have done it again: it became clear that the skin of people constantly use sunscreen, 24% fewer wrinkles and other signs of aging. It should be noted that while the researchers took into account the influence of other important factors affecting the skin - smoking, skin color, etc., But their conclusions were the same: have sunscreen cosmetic effect, prevents skin aging. Although the sample was not people over 55 years of age, the study's author, a senior fellow at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research Dr. Adel Greene stated that sunscreen at least, just to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer.
