No matter how supple and healthy your skin may look from the surface, there’s a possibility that our skin is ageing much quicker than it naturally would since we’re usually exposed to different stressors.
So how can we reduce pre-ageing?
Sunscreen is the most important essential you should have in your bag. Whether you’re running errands, working under the sun or spending a day at the beach, always protect your skin by seeking shade, using sunscreen, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and so on.
