As we get older our skin starts to show damage from our chosen lifestyles (hard partying lifestyles like those of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears really age and take a toll on the skin).  There are many factors that can influence the health of your skin and its youthfulness. The most common factor being the sun.

Up until fairly recently it was considered safe to lie outside for hours on end to try to top up your tan. A tan is considered a very healthy thing to have and it is also seen in most social circles as very sexy! The problem is that the sun actually causes quite a lot of damage to our skin (not to mention precancerous growths and lesions like actinic keratoses and malignant cancers like nodular melanoma – the deadliest form of cancer with an almost 100 percent 5 year mortality rate).
