Summer anti-aging, never so simple as sun protection

Summer is the season of sunshine, a lot of good stories happen in the summer. The outdoors, the sun, the sea, the beach ...... but then enjoy the beauty at the same time should also beware of quietly baked old our skin invisible killer - heat aging.

What is heat aging?

Thermal ageing is the process of skin ageing caused by dry heat or prolonged exposure to high temperatures. This type of ageing is mainly caused by temperature, as opposed to photo-ageing caused by UV exposure. It is worth noting that the effects of thermal ageing on dry skin ageing are not sudden, but long term, and it manifests itself in the following 5 ways.

1. Changes in skin structure

Persistent hot weather can make some people sweat, which in turn causes changes in skin function and structure, increasing the risk of skin diseases. For the dry elderly, the low immunity and the decline of the skin barrier, more vulnerable to eczema, ringworm, shingles and other skin diseases.

2. Protein deterioration

High temperatures can cause the degeneration of collagen and elastin in the skin, two proteins that are key to maintaining skin structure and elasticity. However, if heat damage exceeds the skin's self-repairing threshold, it can lead to recurring heat damage problems.

3. Destruction of skin tissue

Heat-induced physical damage can cause varying degrees of skin tissue destruction, ranging from minimal erythema to severe blistering and necrosis.

4. Inflammatory response of the skin

Under the stimulation of high temperature, it can activate the inflammatory response of the skin, leading to the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, triggering redness, swelling and pain in the skin.

5. Accelerate skin aging

Studies have shown that 10 minutes of exposure to the sun can make the skin age prematurely for 10 days, 68% of people grow the first wrinkles are formed in the summer, so in the summer, must do a good job of sun protection.
