Could the City you Choose to Live in Make you Age More?

An interesting clinical study, from Dermatology Times, demonstrated that women who live in urban areas with high levels of particulate matter and pollution had a 22 percent increase in pigmented spots — lentigines — and significantly more coarse wrinkling. So it appears that pollution does contribute to the clinical signs of extrinsic skin aging.”

So what do we do now, pick up and move?  What if we could take less drastic measures to keep our skin healthy?  Antioxidants are the answer. Antioxidants can be applied topically to boost antioxidant defense against environmentally induced oxidative stress, and they protect the skin from sunburn, UV-induced immunosuppression and DNA damage.  At Florida Skin Center we recommend SkinMedica Vitamin C and E Complex.  To find out how you can protect your skin contact our office.
