Regular use of sunscreen is one of the most effective ways to combat the signs of aging. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun accelerates skin aging, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Applying sunscreen daily helps protect your skin from these harmful rays, maintaining a youthful appearance and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
In addition to standard sunscreens, those with added tint can offer even more benefits. Tinted sunscreens protect against visible light, which can contribute to hyperpigmentation, melasma, and further aging of the skin. By including iron oxide for tint, these products provide an extra layer of defense, ensuring comprehensive coverage against both UV and visible light.
Here are some of the best anti-aging sunscreens available:
Morning Anti Aging Sunscreen Application
Every Morning I apply two sunscreens regardless of the weather forecast. This is a combination of chemical sunscreen first followed by a tinted mineral sunscreen after.
This is because 90% of skin aging is due to sun damage and this combination protects against not just UVA / UVB but also blue light, visible light and against age related abnormal pigmentation / age spots as well.
Since tinted sunscreens thicker and more difficult to spread evenly on the face, apply the lighter chemical sunscreen first and the tinted sunscreen on top of that.

Best sunscreen for body
Since sunscreens on the body are applied on a large surface area, a mineral sunscreen would be preferred to chemical since these have better long term safety data and do not have hormonal disrupting potential like chemical sunscreens do. Both types are acceptable on the face due to small surface area ( in fact I recommend both together on face )

Oral Anti Aging Supplements to be considered
Oral Supplements : Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid
Every morning I take a capsule of Hyaluronic Acid+Vitamin C with my smoothie and add a scoop of Collagen Powder to my black coffee
Collagen
Collagen is a protein that provides structure to your skin, hair, and joints. As we age, our body's natural collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and joint pain. Marine Collagen is superior to Bovine Collagen .Collagen Powder contains amino acids including Glycine, Proline, and Hydroxyproline, which further stimulate the production of Hyaluronic Acid enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.
