Looking to maintain that youthful glow? Check out these seven habits that can contribute to premature aging and what to do instead to keep your skin healthy.
(1) Skipping sunscreen. Not using sunscreen daily can lead to wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity. Incorporate a high-quality sunscreen from professional skincare brands into your routine and reapply throughout the day.
(2) Inadequate hydration. Failing to drink enough water and skipping hydrating skincare products can result in dull, dry, and aged skin. Ensure you use a natural face moisturizer and hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water.
(3) Poor dietary choices. Daily consumption of processed foods and unhealthy fats can wreak havoc on your skin. These foods can cause inflammation, break down collagen, and lead to premature aging.
(4) Lack of sleep. Not getting enough rest can lead to fine lines, dark circles, and a lackluster complexion. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night and incorporate a hydrating skincare cream into your nighttime routine to support your skin's natural repair processes.
(5) Neglecting a skincare routine. Inconsistency in your skincare routine can cause long-term damage. Gently cleanse, tone, moisturize, and protect your skin daily with SPF to maintain radiant skin.
(6) Over-exfoliating. While exfoliation should always be part of a well-rounded skincare routine, over-exfoliating can damage the skin barrier and lead to premature aging. Limit exfoliation to 1-3 times a week or as your dermatologist recommends, and choose gentle products.
(7) Stress and neglecting mental health. Chronic stress may lead to premature aging by increasing cortisol levels, which break down collagen and cause inflammation. Consider incorporating stress-relieving practices into your daily routine, such as yoga, meditation, or simply taking time for yourself.
