"A direct comparison between photoaging and natural aging"
Excerpt from "Thermal aging: A new concept of skin aging"
In fact, the skin problems caused by various kinds of self-destructive behaviors are similar to photoaging (large pores, rough skin, dull complexion, fine lines and wrinkles, etc.). However, because most of the people who commit su***de are young, it does not look that serious, and these problems are reversible as long as they stop or reduce su***de. You have done enough to protect against ultraviolet rays, don't be crazy!
Photoaging should actually be called damaged aging, that is, due to some irritating factors, the skin is damaged, and various aging phenomena defined in histology appear. From the appearance, the mild manifestation is enlarged pores, rough skin, dull complexion and other skin beauty problems. Only when it is very serious and has never been protected for many years will it become like the picture (but I have not seen such a serious one in real life).

Besides, the picture is not just the fault of ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet damage must also be accompanied by thermal aging. It is impossible to tell which of the two is more!

In fact, in addition to ultraviolet rays and heat, there are many other factors that can stimulate the skin to "damage and age"! And for us skin care enthusiasts, the harm caused by the sun is no less than these two! It's just that the damage caused by the sun is more intuitive. Everyone knows that sun exposure will make you tan and even peel. And other factors, such as washing your face carefully, which people tend to think looks good right after washing... will be ignored. The same is true for factors such as heat aging and friction.
