Top Reasons Why Your Skin Looks Older Than It Should

Aging is part of life that no one can escape but if you fear that your skin is ageing faster than it should be, then it is important for you to take a good and hard look at some lifestyles that could be causing your skin to look older than it should be.
Below are some reasons why your skin looks older than it should be.

Failure to use sunglasses and sunscreen: “The skin around your eyes is extremely thin and requires extra attention so failure to apply sunscreen in that area can worsen wrinkles and discolouration when you use sunglasses without UVA/UVB protection, you exacerbate frown lines and eye wrinkles so always ensure you apply sunscreen and use sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection and don’t forget to wear hats or caps too”.
Too much alcohol: “Alcohol consumption makes your skin look older than it should be by dehydrating your body and depleting your stores of B vitamins and magnesium, which you need for good skin so ensure you drink enough water during and after alcohol consumption”.
Lack of enough sleep: “Lack of proper sleep is really bad for the skin, cellular rejuvenation does its best work during sleep and when you fail to get adequate sleep, you disrupt the process. Ensure you get at least 7 hours of sleep every day”.

Stress: “Stress is also bad news for your skin and can make you look older than you really are, ensure you reduce the amount of stress you go through because the body uses up various nutrients including magnesium and vitamin C when you are stressed to create stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline so you can cope with the stress”.
