You used to think it was cool to be estimated to be older than you were. But now that you are well beyond adulthood being estimated older is anything but fun. One day we will all look older, but luckily you can slow that process down by banishing these bad habits from your life.
We all want to look young for as long as possible. The good news is that we can slow down the process of skin aging. This can be done by eliminating various bad habits in your life. We already know how bad many habits are, but you have some more reasons to stop after this article.
Smoking
We probably don’t need to explain to you that quitting smoking has many benefits. A cigarette contains harmful substances; it is, therefore, logical that this accelerates the aging process. It can cause wrinkles under your eyes and make your teeth look yellowish-brown.
A lot of alcohol
You’re probably holding a beer, or maybe you’re more into wine. While alcohol should be allowed from time to time, there are plenty of reasons why you should use it in moderation.
One of these is that drinking alcohol makes you look older because it widens the blood vessels, and therefore fluid distributes differently. The fluid buildup will be evident above and below the eyes. Alcohol dries out your body and skin.
Experimenting with your diet
The older you get, the more essential it becomes to have a healthy lifestyle. You may be someone who goes from diet to diet, but constant experimentation can harm your body. Instead of constantly experimenting, make sure your body is getting all the proper nutrients. This ensures that you stay healthy and, therefore, your skin.
A lot of coffee
Two cups of coffee a day should be fine, but drinking coffee all day long can affect male hormones, affecting how old you look. When you leave coffee for two months, you will notice the difference.
A lot of office work
A lot of sitting in a row, tight and stress-increasing deadlines and then they also have croquette sandwiches in the company canteen. It is good to take regular breaks and go for a walk. Stress is a decisive factor for your health and old age.
Lack of exercise
Exercise ensures that you have better blood circulation and that the effect of wrinkles is more negligible. The fine lines will be drastically reduced, and you will have better skin by promoting circulation.
The sun
We love the summer and the nice weather. However, it is essential to use sunscreen. The main reason is that the radiation can be carcinogenic but can also affect your skin, and of course, we don’t want that.
Too much sugar
We’ve heard it so many times, yet it’s hard to stay away from it. On the one hand, because almost all processed food contains sugar, we all have a sugar craving once or more. Ultimately, it comes down to choosing between sugaring or feeling good and keeping a younger look.
When you get rid of these bad habits, you will feel much more comfortable in your own skin. So literally and figuratively.
