Dermatologists recommend consistent skincare to reduce wrinkles

Dermatologists emphasize that effective wrinkle reduction requires consistent care and early intervention. Skin aging is categorized into intrinsic aging, driven by genetics and hormones, and extrinsic aging, caused by external factors such as pollution and sunlight.

Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen is considered a fundamental defense against UV damage, which actively breaks down collagen. Beyond the face, hands and nails also show significant signs of aging. Exposure to sunlight, soaps, and cleaning agents can cause hand skin to thin and lose moisture, leading to visible wrinkles and prominent veins. Nails may also become brittle, yellowed, or grow more slowly. Experts recommend applying sunscreen to hands as well as the face to mitigate these effects.
