Block UV Rays

You’ve heard it a thousand times before, but sun exposure is the No. 1 cause of the breakdown of collagen. Whatever your age, make it a habit to apply sunscreen daily, after applying an antioxidant product and a moisturizer (or choose a moisturizer that has SPF to streamline your routine). Also be sure to seek out sunblocks that are full-spectrum, meaning they shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays (UVA rays accelerate the aging process and cause cancer; UVB rays cause burning).
