Fighting Wrinkles – Is Sophia’s Secret SPF? : Dave’s Diary

Yesterday we told you about the dangers of skin cancer and the critical importance of sun screen for our youngsters.  In addition to blocking cancer causing harmful rays there is another obvious benefit for sunscreen users.  Wrinkles!  More than anything else, it is wrinkly skin that makes you look old. What has been suspected for years has been proven true by Australian researchers: Use sunscreen faithfully every day, and it will help protect against aging skin.  In the study those who used the sunscreen daily showed no detectable changes in the skin's condition, once other sun-related factors were taken into account.

Specifically, those in the group who used sunscreen daily were 24 percent less likely to show any increased sign of skin aging, including clinical changes that might not be visible to the naked eye.  SO slather on the SPF…be safe and be FABULOUS!
