skin ageing could be delayed.
Is sun screen, the most neglected link in skin ageing in India?
Our face ages in many different and specific ways. Some changes come from the outside—namely the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (uv) rays & some from inside.
1. Our age
our genes
sun damage
pollution
smoking
stress
poor eating habits
alcohol use
Facial aging begins at the birth, and progresses at different rates throughout your life. The face ages in five key ways:
loss of skin color
wrinkle formation & collagen loss
hollow chic’s
loss of skin elasticity
3. Indian scenario: a survey done in India about sun screen awareness is disturbing. More than 50% of population is not aware about sun screen. 68% from upper class of society knew about sun screen & occasionally use them.86% from lower middle class do not know about sun screen.
4 . As per Dr.Kligman an authority on skin ageing, moisturizer, sun screen & retinoids is a gold standard for arresting premature ageing. But in our country the ignorance of general population is causing the sun damage to skin. Rather than preventive measures of ageing, people land up with more expensive therapies like Botox & laser.
There could be various reasons for this malady in India. Financial conditions, lack of proper education & ignorance are the culprits. Moreover the cosmetic appeal & stickiness of sun screen brands also play an important role.
