Don’t assume that wrinkles are only for the elderly. Even in your 20s, you can get the occasional facial line or two. It all depends on how you treat your skin. Neglect it and the onset of fine lines and wrinkles may be closer than you think. Care for it and you can enjoy your youthful appearance for decades to come.
Block the sun’s UV rays from hitting your face.
We know that February only just started. So you may be under the impression that “sunscreen season” is well over. Not so. Sunscreen use is important all year-round. Especially when there’s snow on the ground, the sun’s harmful UV rays are lot more likely to reflect into your face, causing damage. Regularly applying sunscreen to the exposed areas of your skin will help it to remain wrinkle-free.
“It’s a well-known fact that exposure to the sun can damage your skin, leading to premature aging and wrinkles,” writes Grace Gallagher on Healthline.com, “According to a 2013 study, regular sunscreen use has the ability to slow down the signs of aging skin. To protect your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays, it’s vital to apply an SPF of between 30 and 50 every day, even if it’s overcast. UV rays can still penetrate clouds, so don’t skip on sunscreen just because it isn’t sunny.”
Enter Dreamland sans makeup.
We spend a lot of time putting on makeup before going out, don’t we? However, when it comes to makeup removal, most of us are guilty of spending a lot less time with the process. Removing makeup, however, is an important part of maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.
If you come home late from an outing, it’s understandable that you may want to crawl into bed immediately. That doesn’t make it acceptable! Always remove your makeup before dozing off. It’s a huge step in ensuring that you have unclogged pores.
Walk with your water bottle – everywhere!
Drinking water is a life necessity. It’s a vital part of maintaining good health. If you can, drink water at every meal instead of sugar-based drinks. Not only does your body require water for all of its functions (flushing toxins from your body, for example), but staying hydrated promotes skin that is clear and smooth. Fill up a reusable water bottle and take it everywhere you go to make a habit out of drinking water.
“According to a 2015 study that was conducted on a healthy group of women, it was determined that higher water input can have an effect on the hydration of the skin, and it may positively affect skin physiology,” informs Gallagher.
