Every woman has a period when she begins to notice the first wrinkles, dryness, general deterioration of the skin condition. This can happen at the age of 25, not necessarily skin aging is associated with extreme old age.
How can you slow down this process and affect your body?
Causes of Skin Aging
- First of all, I must say that it is premature skin aging that is associated with a lot of stress, and to stop this process, you will have to change something in your life.
- Your skin can also be affected by a genetic predisposition, on which a lot depends. For example, among Koreans, facial skin retains its elasticity until old age, but after that it ages rather quickly. In our case, sharp aging of the skin does not occur, it is a gradual process, but it begins much earlier.
- Hormonal failure. For some other reason, there was a failure in the body, and it stopped working correctly, and your skin suffers, too. Therefore, do not forget to visit your doctor regularly and monitor your body.
- Bad habits. We all know about the dangers of alcohol and smoking, but not everyone can give up drinking and cigarettes. But the time comes to answer for the harm to your body. As a rule, in smokers, the skin becomes gray and begins to lose its tone faster than it should be. Also, smokers are characterized by the formation of fine and frequent wrinkles. For those who like drinking, excessive swelling of the skin is possible, which also has a bad effect on its proper functioning and subsequently it begins to sag.
- Frequent exposure to the sun. The tan is undoubtedly beautiful, but the skin of the face is much softer than the skin of the body. Subsequently, excessive passion for tanning leads to premature aging.
- Incorrect food. We are what we eat. Naturally, with the regular use of food that does not benefit, but only taste, a general deterioration in the body's work occurs. This affects the face in the first place. Useful substances are not delivered to the cells, which again leads to their aging.
How to prevent premature aging?
- Scrubs are good, but in moderation. If your skin is sensitive, then you should not use peels and scrubs more than once every two weeks. For normal skin, use once a week is acceptable. Frequent scrubbing of the skin damages skin cells that do not need to be removed, and subsequently they do their job worse.
- Protect your skin. In summer, use creams and cosmetics with SPF protection, it will protect you from sun damage. Use a moisturizer in winter to avoid chapping your skin.
