If somebody were to ask about the #1 cause of wrinkles, how would you answer?
If you’re thinking “UV exposure”, you’re not alone; however, data shows that sun damage isn’t necessarily the biggest culprit. After all, New York ranks as the most wrinkled state in the entire USA, while sunny Florida only clocks in at #32 on the list. New York certainly isn’t known for increased UV exposure... so what’s going on?
Dermatologists blame the state’s distinctly high levels of free radical-producing pollution.
HOW POLLUTION HARMS YOUR SKIN
Skin, like all living organs, is made up of three types of molecules: oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. When any of the three are altered with a “free” electron via pollutants outdoors (smog, exhaust fumes, construction, factory sites) or indoors (cooking, paint, carpets, dust mites), they turn into destructive free radicals.
Highly unstable, these negatively-charged molecules act like a magnet, attaching to and harming molecules in their path. They bond to vital components of the skin, including DNA and proteins like collagen and elastin, causing malfunction and breakdown that contributes in large part to wrinkles, age spots, and other skin aging.
