Tips and tricks for aging skin care
- Limit sun exposure.Harmful UV rays are the #1 cause of premature skin aging.To prevent harmful effects, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every day, in all weather conditions.Choose light textures - do not clog pores.
- Choose the right sleeping position.Improper posture is the number 2 cause of wrinkles.To prevent marionette lines around the mouth and wrinkles around the eyes, try to get into the habit of sleeping on your back.
- Watch your facial expression.Skin folds appear from constantly repeating movements (laughing, smiling, yawning, crying, surprise).Avoid unnecessary facial expressions and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
- Defy gravity, train muscles.The force of gravity causes facial muscles to sag, especially those that are never used.Exercising the subcutaneous facial muscles will help your face look tighter and maintain a clear contour.
Leading a healthy lifestyle, avoiding harmful habits and drinking plenty of water also have an impact on the condition of your facial skin.
