Live Longer And Look Better Doing It.

Many of us apply sunscreen to stave off sunburn and skin cancer. In what researchers are calling a first, a new study finds using sunscreen every day could significantly stall skin aging, also known as photoaging. And middle age isn't too late to start, the researchers found.

The study examined 903 people 55 and younger, to see whether daily sunscreen would stall their aging more than people who used the products at their discretion.

Daily sunscreen participants used products with a SPF of 15+ and applied it to their head, neck, arms and hands each morning after bathing, and every time they spent a few hours in the sun or sweated profusely. For four years, researchers calculated the daily sunscreen group showed 24 percent less skin aging than those who did not.

The physical examination showed hyperkeratosis with accentuated ridging, multiple open comedones, and areas of nodular elastosis. Histopathological analysis showed an accumulation of elastolytic material in the dermis and the formation of milia within the vellus hair follicles. Findings were consistent with the Favre–Racouchot syndrome of photodamaged skin, known as dermatoheliosis. The patient reported that he had driven a delivery truck for 28 years
