What are the Signs of Premature Ageing?
Taking care of your skin early in life is the best prevention from common skin concerns.
One of the most discussed skincare concerns these days is premature ageing. And that can be a nightmare, something we all wish to steer away from.
But identifying the signs of premature ageing can actually help you slow down the process.
Proper skincare plays a major role in combating ageing.
The “stretchy” protein called ‘Collagen’ gives our skin its youthful-looking firmness. When we’re young, our bodies produce it in abundance. However, as we get older, our collagen production also begins to slow down. Skin becomes drier and loses its elasticity. There’s pigmentation and uneven skin tone, accompanied by laughter lines. And it’s majorly all a result of inevitable sun exposure and skin damage due to environmental aggressors!
Cell regeneration and skin repair also become slow with time.
Fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin begin to dominate!
And if these changes may be surprising if they happen earlier than expected, it is referred to as ‘Premature Ageing’.

What Causes Premature Ageing?
Nothing ages the skin like exposure to sunlight.
When we step outside in the sun, our face becomes dull just after a few minutes, and the sun exposure robs us of the glow.
So if a few minutes could do this much, then just imagine what a lifetime of sun exposure could do to our skin!
Another primary reason is that collagen production slows down after a certain age which causes the skin to age and becomes thinner and weaker.
And of course, drastic changes in the climatic conditions are another major factor in why you might be ageing faster than expected.
Air pollutants cause the breakdown of our skin’s ability to repair itself. This can also lead to premature ageing.
How to Reduce Premature Skin Ageing?
It’s essential to upgrade your beauty essentials and look for the right Lotus Organics products for your skin type.
Sun damages cause 80% of your skin’s ageing.
First and foremost, upgrade your SPF products. Because while you are fixing age-related issues, new ones are being created if you're not wearing SPF. Make sure you are not infusing any chemicals into your skin along with your sun shield. Switch to 100% Certified Mineral Actives.
Broad Spectrum and SPF Number is exceptionally vital while picking out your sunscreen.
Moving on to beauty-skincare products, move towards products that promote cell regeneration, collagen production and boost the skin’s natural defence.
Also, a good eye-care routine can make a big difference! (This is exactly what we call ‘Beauty Sleep’!)
Lastly, adequate nourishment through food and hydration is an effective way to combat a lot of skin & hair related issues.
Regular intake of fresh and seasonal produce helps prevents damage that causes your skin to age prematurely and protects from ultraviolet damage.
Can Premature Ageing be Reversed?
When it comes to reversing premature ageing, active ingredients like retinol and glycolic acid get a lot of airtime. But let’s not forget about the side-effects they carry. Instead, switch to Bakuchiol; Plant Retinol!
