The sun: It is probably the most important factor that damages the health of your skin and causes skin aging.

Smoking: Smoking is injurious to health, it is very true but it is even more injurious to your skin as the harmful smoke breaks down collagen which nourishes your skin. As a result, your skin faces the danger of wrinkles and signs of aging appear prematurely. The skin loses firmness and glow as well.
Remedy: Without any hesitation, stop smoking immediately. Take help from your doctor, family and friend and do everything that is required for getting rid from smoking.
Genetics: Yes, it also causes early aging. You can not do much in this regard as it is unavoidable.
Remedy: You can not do much about it. But be hopeful as the University Of Miami Cosmetic Medicine And Research Institute is continuing with the research work but yet to find out any breakthrough.
Pollution: This curse of scientific advancement has created a mess. It creates free radicals in the skin which causes signs of skin aging.
Remedy: Though difficult, you can use antioxidants to reduce the harmful effects of the pollution to reduce the skin aging. Try to get those antioxidants through your meals as they are more effective in that case. Take berries, pomegranates and green tea to minimize skin aging effects.
