※UV rays and heat are the culprits behind skin aging.
When skin temperature increases due to hot weather and high UV index, it can expand the capillary vessels and destroy elastic cells in the dermis, which in turn can lower the elasticity of the face and accelerate skin aging and result in the formation of wrinkles. Through a series of tests on mice and humans, Professor Jeong Jin-ho’s research team in the Dermatology Department of Seoul National University Hospital proved that skin temperature increase due to the exposure of skin to heat can decrease collagen and elastin, which are major components of skin, and promote decomposition; this in turn can promote skin aging such as formation of wrinkles. Prof. Jeong Jin-ho stated, “When skin is exposed to sunlight, applying UV protectant alone cannot completely prevent skin aging. We need to stay away from sunlight as much as we can and cool off skin often to prevent an increase of skin temperature.”
