Tips and rules for caring for aging skin
- Limit exposure to sunlight.Harmful UV rays are the number 1 cause of premature skin aging.To prevent harm, sunscreen should be applied every day, in any weather.Choose a light texture - won't clog pores.
- Choose a suitable sleeping position.Poor posture is the number 2 cause of wrinkles.To prevent wrinkles around the mouth and wrinkles around the eyes, get into the habit of sleeping on your back.
- Pay attention to your facial expressions.Wrinkles on the skin appear due to constant repetitive movements (smiling, laughing, yawning, crying, surprise).Avoid unnecessary facial expressions and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting.
- Resist gravity, exercise muscles.Gravity causes facial muscles to sag, especially muscles that are never used.Exercising the facial muscles under the skin will help your face look firmer and maintain clear contours.
A healthy lifestyle, avoiding bad habits and drinking plenty of water also affect the condition of your facial skin.
