Did you know forehead aging is caused by a number of factors? Some of which are uncontrollable.
This article should help you understand one of the factors that are controllable; overexposure to ultraviolet light.
Ultraviolet light is invisible.
It is an element of sunlight, but we are exposed to it, even on cloudy days.
Your parents may have warned you that you could get a sun burn even when it was cloudy.
It is UV light that causes sunburn.
UV also contributes to the formation of cataracts within the eyes and to skin cancer.
It is the primary cause of wrinkles and other outward signs of age.
When we are exposed to UV, free radical molecules form within the skin's cells.
When we are young and in good health, there are usually enough antioxidants present within the cells to neutralize the free radicals.
But, scientists say that the level of an antioxidant called coenzyme Q10 is quickly depleted when the cells are exposed to UV.
So, the first thing that you can do is avoid overexposure to the sun.
Don't rely on the sunscreens on the market for protection.
Many of them are simply ineffective.
The second thing that you can do to help prevent forehead aging is to eat plenty of antioxidant-rich foods.
The third thing that you can do is to regularly use an antioxidant-rich cream, specifically one that contains coenzyme Q10.
Researchers have said for years that improving the body's antioxidant status could prevent free radical damage.
But, there has been a great deal of debate about whether or not antioxidants could "repair" damage that had already been done.
Judging from the latest research, some of them can.
In clinical studies consisting of volunteers with sun-damage on their faces, researchers found that the daily use of a cream containing coenzyme Q10 reduced wrinkles, improved softness, improved the skin's moisture content and reduced sun damage, overall, by about 30%, after three months.
You can start to reverse forehead aging simply by protecting the area from the sun.
But, the experts say that it takes about six months of continuous effort to see a change in the skin's pigmentation and texture.
The improvement that you would see is due to the skin's natural ability to rejuvenate (de-age).
Coenzyme Q10 and other nourishing ingredients support the skin's natural abilities.
Most of the ingredients in today's cosmetics do not.
Some of them actually contribute to premature forehead aging.
You need to learn what's what before you buy.
