The best defense against premature aging is sun protection. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, avoid smoking, eat a balanced diet, and choose skincare products with antioxidants and retinoids to help support healthier, younger-looking skin.

Several factors can raise your risk, including fair skin, frequent sunburns, extended UV exposure (whether from the sun or tanning beds), a family history of skin cancer, and the presence of numerous or unusual moles. Regular screenings with a dermatologist in The Villages can help catch issues early.
