And your smartphone is one of them.
You think that wrinkles appear because the skin is aging. And you are trying to appease her with an expensive cream that promises an instant lifting effect. It’s in vain! It’s not about the skin, it’s about the facial muscles, which become weaker over the years and pull the skin down under the influence of gravity.
In addition, each of us has things in our everyday life that speed up the process by adding new wrinkles. So be careful with them.
Our faithful assistant strikes on two fronts at once. First, many people flip through social media feeds with their heads bowed to the phone. From this, the skin tends down even more: flews appear, cheeks and chin sag. Therefore, raise the screen to eye level and above your head!
Secondly, the screens of electronic devices emit blue light. And he, as scientists recently found out, seriously reduces the concentration of carotenoids in the body, which protect the skin from aging. This leads to an increase in free radicals and our skin begins to age much faster. In addition, carotenoids protect against ultraviolet radiation – without their help, the skin becomes even more vulnerable to the sun, which threatens early aging and even skin cancer.
However, scientists have found a couple of arguments in defense of blue light from screens. It turns out that with it you can fight some infections that are resistant to antibiotics. And also blue light can be considered acne prevention. However, all these benefits from using a smartphone can only be obtained during daylight hours. So no social media before bed is bad for your skin.
We spend a third of our day with her. Now imagine that all this time you are crushing your face like a rag – and this is what happens when you sleep with your face in the pillow. In the morning, folds and creases remain on the skin, which over time are forever “prescribed” on our face.
Sleeping on the side is also not the best option. So we provoke the appearance of nasolabial folds, as well as creases in the neckline. Therefore, the best sleeping position is lying on your back. The main thing is to choose the right pillow so that the neck does not hurt and does not become numb, but smoothly continues the line of the spine.
Wear them only on special occasions. Otherwise, the earlobes will sag, like those of old women, and this will add you an extra ten years.
Or rather, weak points or their absence. You may not notice how you squint, trying to see something in the distance. Ultimately, this habit leads to wrinkles. Therefore, check your eyesight, perhaps the glasses you are wearing now are no longer helping you.
Don’t forget your sunglasses. They protect the delicate skin around the eyes from ultraviolet radiation. In addition, with dark glasses, you, again, will not squint.
Yes, this is a great way to relax. However, if you stand under hot water for a long time, your PH protective layer is destroyed. The skin becomes dry and scaly. And the lack of moisture leads to aging over time.
Fans of fresh breath forgive us, but regular use of gum leads to wrinkles and folds around the mouth. You can not chew gum and those who use fillers. Due to too active facial expressions, fillers can “migrate” and wrinkles will return again. So, it is better to freshen your breath with mints or a mouthwash.
He can hide flaws or, conversely, emphasize them. For example, a heavy, dense cream settles into fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead, making them even more visible. If this is your case, replace your base with a lighter formula. And every time your face is covered with a greasy shine, use special napkins instead of powdering the nose again.
