Ways You Could Be Aging Yourself

Of course there are treatments and preventative measures that can be taken to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, but some of the most effective ways are in your daily routine.



Eyes! We all want beautiful eyes that pop, and the most convenient way to achieve that is eyeliner. Beware...this is harsh to the sensitive and thin skin surrounding your eyes. Also, since liner draws attention, that means more attention to the wrinkles forming there also.




Exfoliation! Yes, exfoliating your skin is good, it promotes circulation, healthy skin growth, and cell turnover. However, most people don't realize that exfoliation is meant for 1-3 times a week. Be sure to read the directions on your product carefully to see how it is best used.
 Over-exfoliation can lead to thinning of the skin, which will welcome wrinkles with open arms.




Water! I know you are probably getting sick of hearing this from me, but DRINK MORE WATER! Most of us have dehydrated skin. Especially if your not using humectants, which bind water to your skin. Even with humectants, the first place the environment pulls water from us is our skin. It's so important to replenish it, otherwise you will be left with dull, dehydrated, sallow looking skin.




Stress & Exercise! We all lead stressful lives, and trust me it's the first thing to show in your skin. Whether it's wrinkles or breakouts. Be sure to have a good way to deal with stress. Exercising will keep a healthy metabolism and great circulation for your skin. Which is necessary for your skin to function properly.
