The reason of Reasons for skin aging - Why the people here look older
Since I've come to Germany, I have noticed that most people here look older than the Chinese (if it is referring to people, no article ...) or should I can say, East Asian people, especially between the ages of 30 to 70. Maybe my opinion is biased but quite a lot of people agree.
Below are the reasons I can think of:
1. Sun exposure. I put it to at number one since I learnt that excepting/ignoring the natural aging, 80 percent of skin aging is due to the sunshine. The Western people like sun-bathing taking sun bath, sun cream can avoid some damage, but not all of them, On the contrary whereas most Asian people, especially women, avoid sun shine as much as possible. I brought a sun umbrella from China when I first came to Germany but have never dared to use it…
2. Smoking. I found quite a large number of women smokersing in Germany. I even heard there are more women smoking than men here. I don’t know the whole smoking percentage, but at least I can say, in China the number percentage (for sure the number is much bigger!!!) of smoking women is much lower smaller. (but it is on the rise! the last frontier of the tobacco industry)
3. Cold weather and heating. They say, Germany is 10 months of winter and 2 months of summer. It’s exaggerated, but also still vivid (cannot think of a better word yet ...). Cold wind, low temperature and heating make the skin dry. Of course heating is a good thing, when I went back to my hometown in cold winter, I missed the heating very much.
4. Alcohol. Beer is a major part of German culture, who doesn't like it? But alcohol can dilate blood vessels in the skin and over time the blood vessels can be permanently damaged.
5. Sleep late or lack of sleep. The German bar culture, drinking beer until midnight or early in the next morning is very common here. Without a good sleep routine this also contributes to skin aging.
Oh, it seems I wrote a lot....Hope I didn't offend anyone here :)
The Reasons of skin for Premature Aging - Why the people here look older
Since I've came to Germany, I noticed that most people here look older than the Chinese or shall I can say East Asian people, especially those between the ages of 30 to 70. Maybe Perhaps my opinion is I am biased but quite a lot of people many agree with my assessment.
Below are the reasons I can think of: Here are some of my opinions
1. Sun Over exposure to the sun. I have to say put it to is the number one reason since I learnt that except the natural aging 80 percent of skin aging of the time is due to the uv from the sunshine. The Westerners people like taking sun bath, tanning. Using sun cream screen can avoid some damage, but not all of them protect to a certain extent. On the contrary However, most Asians people, especially the women, avoid the sun shine as much as possible. I brought a sun umbrella parasol from China when I first came to Germany but I have never dared too shy to use it for sticking out like a sore thumb in the local population…
2. Smoking. I found quite a number of women smoking smokers in Germany. I even heard there are more women smoking than men they outnumber their male counterparts here. Although I don’t know the whole smoking percentage, but exact statistics, I am sure the Chinese female smoking population is much less.at least I can say in China the number of smoking women is much smaller.
3. The cold weather and dryness caused by central heating. They say, Germany is 10 has ten cold months of winter and only two 2 months of warmth summer. It’s exaggerated An exaggeration of course., but also vivid the truth is not too far off. Cold wind, low temperature and heating make the skin dry Cold air and central air heating dry out the skin fast. Of course heating However, being warm is a good thing nice. When I went back to my hometown in/during cold winter, I missed the central heating very much.
4. Alcohol. Beer drinking is a major part of the German culture. who doesn't like Many love it! [I don't] But However, alcohol can dilate blood vessels in the skin and over time the blood vessels skin can look red and blotchy because the vessels are can be permanently damaged.
5. Sleeping late/Keeping late hours or lacking of [in] sleep can also age the skin prematurely. The German bar culture is another culprit. Drinking beer until till midnight or early in the next morning into the wee hours is a very common thing here. Without a good sleep routine is also contribute to skin aging.
Oh, it Seems that I had written too much wrote a lot.... Hope I didn't offend anyone here :)
