You will know what works. The sun is your skin s greatest enemy. Unless you protect your skin from the sun, no treatment, no moisturizer, no vitamin, no exercise, no surgery will help you. The sun damages skin in several highly significant ways. It does this by activating free radicals, which are the molecules that attack the lining of all cells.
Free radicals are responsible for most illness, aging and death.
Alcohol, smoking and stress activate free radicals, but their biggest source, where the skin is concerned, is the sun. The sun alters skin structure. That is why skin cancer is usually the result of exposure to the sun. But let s just consider what the sun does to the looks of your skin. It goes further to the living epidermis and thins it from its normal 20 cell layers to about two layers.
