Skin Unexposed

The Difference Between Exposed vs. Unexposed Skin

Skin damage is insidious. When we’re younger — in our teens and 20s — most of the harm done to our skin remains invisible. As we age, however, the signs start becoming more noticeable. By our 40s and 50s, people who kept their skin protected from the Four Factors look visibly younger and healthier than those who left their skin exposed. Find out some of the differences below.
