Effect of smoking and sun on the aging skin.

TLDR
The association between increasing age, sun exposure, and amount of telangiectasia was strong among men, but less apparent among women, and smoking was also associated with elastosis among both sexes, and with telang iectasia predominantly among men.

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors in skin ageing: a review.

TL;DR: Better understanding of both the intrinsic and extrinsic influences on the ageing of the skin, as well as distinguishing the retractable aspects of cutaneous ageing from the irretractable, is crucial to this endeavour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Airborne Particle Exposure and Extrinsic Skin Aging

TL;DR: Air pollution exposure was significantly correlated to extrinsic skin aging signs, in particular to pigment spots and less pronounced to wrinkles, indicating that particle pollution might influence skin aging as well.

Corneal Crosslinking with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet A. I. Principles

TL;DR: The theoretical and experimental measurements of the absorption of UV light explain the stronger CXL effect in the anterior stroma and its importance for the prevention of damage to the endothelial cells, as well as the cellular changes, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Color homogeneity and visual perception of age, health, and attractiveness of female facial skin

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between perception of skin condition and homogeneity of color/chromophore distribution was studied, showing that skin color homogeneity, driven by melanin and hemoglobin distribution, influences perception of age, attractiveness, healthiness, youthfulness, and biological age.

The Validity and Practicality of Sun-Reactive Skin Types I Through VI

TL;DR: The concept of sun-reactive "skin typing" was created in 1975 to be able to classify persons with white skin in order to select the correct initial doses of ultraviolet A (UVA) in the application of the then newly developed technique for the treatment of psoriasis—oral methoxsalen photochemotherapy (PUVA).

Pathophysiology of Premature Skin Aging Induced by Ultraviolet Light

TL;DR: Multiple exposures to ultraviolet irradiation lead to sustained elevations of matrix metalloproteinases that degrade skin collagen and may contribute to photoaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene variants are associated with an increased risk for cutaneous melanoma which is largely independent of skin type and hair color.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the relationship of melanocortin 1 receptor gene variants, fair skin, red hair and the development of melanoma in 123 patients with cutaneous melanoma and 385 control subjects.

A review of skin ageing and its medical therapy

TL;DR: Recent work has substantially elucidated the ageing processes that affect the skin and has demonstrated that many of unwanted changes can be improved by topical therapy.

Risk of subsequent basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin among patients with prior skin cancer. Skin Cancer Prevention Study Group.

TL;DR: Persons with a prior nonmelanoma skin cancer had a substantial 5-year risk of developing another tumor of the same histologic type and number of previous skin cancers, solar damage, and skin sensitivity to sun exposure were particularly related to this risk.
