A broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is non-negotiable. Apply it daily to the front, back, and sides of the neck to shield against UV damage, the primary cause of collagen breakdown.
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily to the tops of the feet when wearing open shoes. This protects against UV damage, which thins the skin and causes sunspots.
Consistency is more important than quantity. Introduce one active ingredient at a time, start with a lower concentration to assess tolerance, and always pair them with a good moisturizer and daily sunscreen.
Antioxidants like Vitamin C neutralize free radicals from sun and pollution, reducing oxidative stress that breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin.
