5.Cause: Cancer Treatment
Radiation therapy attacks cancer cells with atomic particles. It can be hard on your skin, which might get dry, itchy, flaky, and more sensitive. You may notice something like sunburn that leads to easier skin wrinkling. A skin reaction called “radiation recall” can worsen these symptoms if your doctor adds chemotherapy to your treatment. Talk to your doctor about how to manage skin symptoms from radiation therapy.
6.Prevention: Don’t Squint!
Squinting in the sun, or any other facial expression you make a lot, can cause wrinkles in certain parts of your face. If you’re outside a lot, wear UV 400 blocking sunglasses. They may help protect you from early “crow’s feet” as well as those UV rays.
