Youth cannot be returned yet, but it can be continued!
Science, unfortunately, is still standing still and has not yet come up with a simple remedy that would make us all forever young and beautiful. But on the other hand, scientists at least can say exactly what not to do every day in order to preserve the existing freshness and beauty as long as possible. Check whether you are committing a small crime against beauty every day - and take immediate action!
Do not use sunscreen
The easiest thing you can do to keep your skin young and healthy for as long as possible (and to minimize your risk of melanoma) is to use sunscreen regularly.
Even if you are not on the beach. Even if you spend the summer in the city and are outside for only an hour a day.
The problem is that even the very small amount of UV we get every day eventually accumulates—and somehow reflects on our face.
24% - this is how much older those who do not use cosmetics with SPF look compared to their peers.
And another news: if you use a product with a protection level of 30 for 12 weeks, you can reverse the damage that UV has done to your skin.
Not enough sleep
Lack of sleep is diseases (because immunity decreases), excess weight (because metabolism is disturbed), cognitive disorders and tired skin. The whole point is that during a night's rest, the whole body, including the skin, is restored. Or it does not recover - if you sleep little or in an "even" rhythm. Do you want less wrinkles and more elastic skin? Get some sleep.
Eating too few vegetables and fruits
And you are not alone in this: according to various data, from 70% to 80% of adults, even in prosperous countries, eat an unbalanced diet and do not get enough vegetables and fruits.
Meanwhile, only by adjusting your diet and eating enough vegetables, berries, and fruits can you prevent early or rapid aging — thanks to antioxidants that help fight free radicals and maintain healthy skin cells. Remember, an adult woman should eat five servings of vegetables and fruits every day. She owes it primarily to her beauty, youth, and health.
Eat a lot of sugar
Yes, sweets and fast carbohydrates are not only at risk for your waistline – overindulgence in these types of foods can also cause serious skin problems. For example, an increase in blood sugar leads to inflammatory processes and acne, as well as damage to natural collagen, which maintains the smoothness and elasticity of the skin. Do you need it?
Smoke
Not only the lungs suffer from this bad habit: smoking harms almost all systems of the body, including the skin. A study involving 79 pairs of twins confirmed that smokers tend to have a worse condition of the skin around the eyes and more facial wrinkles - on average, the smokers looked 5 years older than their twins who lead a healthier lifestyle.
Drink a lot
Of course, not water. The problem is that alcohol reduces the amount of antioxidants in your skin and makes it more vulnerable to free radicals—the same ones that "reward" us with wrinkles and other visible signs of age. In addition, alcohol dehydrates the body, which is also very harmful to the skin.
