French term

agressions

French to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty Anti-ageing products
This is from the business case of a cosmetics company:

Context:
"xx% des Espagnoles attendent une protection contre les agressions dans leurs soins anti-âge"

and

"Au-delà, d’une correction des rides, les femmes attendent également de leur soin de jour qu’il protège leur peau des agressions"

I know what they mean, but can't think of a word for it.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 skin damage
4 +4 environmental stress

Environmental stress/insults Both terms seem used, but can be misconstrued.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22670618 (for insults)
philgoddard Nov 15, 2013:
It basically means sun and wind, and I think you could take slight liberties and use that as your translation.

Le mot 'agressions' réfère au dommage cutané causé par les éléments: vent, soleil, froid etc... Il en résulte de la sécheresse, des taches pigmentaires, de la rosacée, de la couperose etc... Néo Strata et La Roche Posay, entre autres, offrent des protections contre ce genre de conséquences.

skin damage (caused by sun, wind, cold and other exterior causes)

Je sais de par ma formation, par ailleurs que la mauvaise ventilation d'un édifice cause la couperose ou la rosacée, par exemple. On appelle cela le syndrome des édifices à bureaux. Il existe des crèmes pour atténuer ce genre d'effet.

disagree Lorraine Dubuc : vous voulez dire contre-indication? Il ne s'agit pas d'effets secondaires, il s'agit de possibilité de dommages causés par les éléments.

skin care

This term 'agressions" is very "French".
Protection contre les agressions is just "skin care"
