Protect from Sun Damage: Sun exposure, especially on a long-term basis, can cause wrinkles, fine lines, and brown age spots that can make you look much older than you really are. This causes a breakdown of the collagen in the skin, thus, resulting in a loss of elasticity and skin firmness. Look for sun protection formulas with SPF 15 to 30 that are rich in antioxidants and contains vitamins A, C, and E which help reduce the sun damage.
