Tips and rules for taking care of aging skin
- Limit sun exposure.Harmful UV rays are the #1 cause of premature skin aging.To avoid harmful effects, it is recommended to use sunscreen every day, in any weather.Choose a light texture - does not clog pores.
- Choose the right sleeping position.Incorrect posture is the number 2 reason for the appearance of wrinkles.To avoid marionette lines around the mouth and wrinkles around the eyes, try sleeping on your back.
- Pay attention to your facial expressions.Wrinkles in the skin appear from repetitive movements (laughing, smiling, yawning, crying, startling).Avoid unnecessary facial expressions and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
- Resist gravity, train muscles.Gravity causes facial muscles to sag, especially those that have never been used.Exercising the subcutaneous facial muscles will help your face look more toned and maintain a clear contour.
Practicing a healthy lifestyle, avoiding bad habits and drinking plenty of water also affect the condition of your facial skin.
