No one wants premature ageing. It’s a dreadful thought for every woman and man out there. Cosmetic industry has also really hyped this term. Most of the skin care brands have their anti ageing lines and still they keep on introducing new products. But you don’t need to rely on cosmetic products to delay ageing or stop premature ageing. You can follow few tips and enjoy youthful skin for longer.
Premature Ageing
Ageing is a natural thing. You cannot stop ageing. But premature ageing is a different thing. Premature Ageing results into wrinkles, dark spots, sun spots, pigmentation, dull skin, enlarged pores etc. because of prolonged exposure to sun without protection, unhygienic skin conditions, pollution, unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits. Premature ageing is difficult to reverse or minimize but easy to avoid.
Major Factors Behind Premature Ageing
Exposure To Sun
Sun plays a major role when it comes to skin ageing. When you expose your skin to sun for long hours without protection, you are losing your skin’s buiding blocks, the oxidants. It leads to collagen breakage which further results into premature ageing. That is why, you are urged to wear sun protection every time of the day.
Unhealthy Eating Habits
Food provide the basic nutrition to our body like anti oxidants which re generate the collagen blocks of our skin. But a diet which lacks in protein and minerals result into premature ageing. For example, Vitamin E is considered to be anti oxidant and plays a major role in reversing and slowing down age effects. A diet that is full of empty calories, does not nourish body and skin, pushing you forward towards ageing.
Stress
Stress kills you from inside and outside. Stress makes your body to release bad hormones which result into premature ageing. Stress literally shows on your skin instantly.
Lack Of Sleep
Beauty Sleep is not a false term. Your body repairs & rejuvenates while you sleep. It builds the required building blocks for your skin when you are resting and your body does not need to spend energy on other movements. When you are not slepping enough, your body does not get time to repair itself, hence it shows on your skin.
Pollution
Pollution is definitely bad for your internal and external organs. It hampers the natural functioning of your organs be it your lungs or your skin.
Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits
Smoking and alcohol consumption is highly discouraged if you want to stay and look younger than your actual age otherwise expect the reverse. Alcohol, damages skin texture and colour while smoking causes fine lines. This type of skin damage is almost irreversible until you go through costly clinical processes.
Frowning Too Frequently
If you have a habit to explain with your face rather than your voice, you are calling for premature ageing in the form of fine lines. You can find fine lines on your forehead or under your eyes initially. Frowning too often, can give you deep wrinkles.
Make sure you are not making any of such mistakes. Prevention is better than cure. Agree?
