Does added sugar age skin?

Not that I know of: I have never heard of that. It is not good for you for many other reasons (increased risks of obesity, diabetes) but I have not heard of it causing premature aging of the skin. Number one cause of this is too much sun exposure. To use sun block, moisturize regularly, drink plenty of water and be nice to your skin. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr R
