Getting older is inevitable However, how our skin ages is a something we DO have control over. Devising a good skincare routine, keeping out of the sun and eating a balanced diet are just a few things that promote a youthful complexion. If you want to delay accelerated skin ageing and radiate luminosity, here are 5 habits to avoid.
We all like to have a little colour in our complexion. However, too much UVA and UVB exposure will break down the collagen and elastin in our skin tissue causing premature wrinkles and pigmentation making us look old before our time - opt for a fake tan to add the bronzed goddess into your life. I recommend the Aurum spray tan as it is clear when applied - no mess no fuss no odour so no one needs I know your secret.
Stress can take a major toll on your body, not just impacting your health but also your complexion. The more stress you’re under, the more likely you are to suffer from a disrupted sleeping pattern, poor appetite and increased blood pressure. Furthermore, stress can cause raised levels of inflammation, which in turn can accelerate the ageing process. To alleviate stress, try participating in yoga, meditation and exercise.
Ideally, you need around eight hours sleep each night for your body to function at its peak. Getting too little sleep can weaken your immune system and result in sallow skin. Your body does most of its building and repairing whilst you sleep so this means more sleep plumper skin. However, ensure you don’t spend too long sleeping on one side of your face as this can promote wrinkles. Purchase smooth silk pillowcases or an alternative soft fabric to prevent this.
The skin around your eyes is extremely thin and is prone to dryness and fine lines as there are no oil glands here. To counteract this, use a nourishing eye cream and preferably one with an SPF to protect that delicate skin. I recommend the Murad Renewing eye cream it's like Botox in a bottle or for added protection the Vitamin c eye cream with SPF 15
Drinking too much alcohol increases dehydration which will boost the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Consuming less alcohol means your liver doesn’t need to work as hard to flush out toxins, meaning your skin will look brighter and healthier.
