NutritionFacts.org | The Single Most Important Thing for Anti-Aging Skin Care @NutritionFactsOrg | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
There is nothing more important to slow the facial signs of aging than to protect your skin from the sun. Sunscreen is put to the test in a randomized controlled trial to see if it can actually slow skin aging.

Spoiler alert: The single most important thing? Wear sunscreen. The next two videos go into more detail: Does Sunscreen Cause or Prevent Skin Cancer? (nutritionfacts.org/video/does-sunscreen-cause-or-prevent-skin-cancer/) and The Best Type of Sunscreen to Use (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-type-of-sunscreen-to-use/).

I did a lot of research on skin aging for my new book, How Not to Age (nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/). Some of that research has also come out in videos:
• What Is the Most Important Anti-Aging Cream Ingredient? (nutritionfacts.org/video/what-is-the-most-important-anti-aging-cream-ingredient)
• Topical Retinoids to Reverse Skin Aging (nutritionfacts.org/video/topical-retinoids-to-reverse-skin-aging)
• The Benefits of Topical Niacinamide for Reversing Skin Aging (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-benefits-of-topical-niacinamide-for-reversing-skin-aging)
• The Benefits of Topical Vitamin C for Reversing Skin Aging (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-benefits-of-topical-vitamin-c-for-reversing-skin-aging)
• The Efficacy, Safety, and Side Effects of Botox and Facelifts (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-efficacy-safety-and-side-effects-of-botox-and-facelifts/)
• The Efficacy and Safety of Fillers, Chemical Peels, and Laser Skin Resurfacing (nutritionfacts.org/video/efficacy-and-safety-of-fillers-chemical-peels-and-laser-skin-resurfacing/)
• What Causes Wrinkles? (nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-wrinkles/)

I also recently answered the question whether Collagen Supplements Work for Skin Aging (nutritionfacts.org/video/do-collagen-supplements-work-for-skin-aging).
