Summer can make you appear older than you truly are due to a combination of factors. The intense sunlight and high temperatures during this season can cause your skin to work harder to maintain its average temperature of 31 to 33 degrees Celsius. In response, the skin's blood vessels expand and sebum production increases, which can make pores appear larger and lead to moisture loss.
Additionally, strong UV radiation is a major contributor to premature skin aging. This type of exposure can damage elastin and collagen in the skin's deeper layers, making the skin more prone to developing age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. A balanced diet rich in certain foods can help protect the skin from the damaging effects of summer and slow down the aging process. Poor dietary habits, on the other hand, may accelerate skin aging.
