You may think that you are too young to worry about looking old and skin aging, but your skin is actually taking a beating every single day without you even knowing it.
Many unhealthy choices that we do every day can cause our skin to age prematurely.
These choices can make you look older, faster.
Fortunately, it is not too late to act upon this.
It is very important to find out what's aging you so that you can do something about it as early as now.
Let me share to you some of the factors that make you age faster.
Here are some of them.
1.
Unprotected sun exposure.
I'm pretty sure you have heard it dozens of times already, but skin experts will keep saying it until it sinks in.
Sun damage is the worst damage that can be done to the skin so it's really important to protect your skin from the sun even at a very young age.
Always remember that sunblock isn't just for the beach.
Sun damage is avoidable so if you start protecting your skin now, you can prevent further damage and slow down the skin's aging process.
2.
Stress.
Stress, depression and other negative emotions can affect how your skin looks and feels.
Either a zit will pop out of nowhere or your skin will look dull and lifeless.
Stress can make you look from 25 to 45 in a snap so it is very important to keep stress levels to a minimum.
It is very important to take a breather from time to time and try to keep a positive attitude towards things.
Take a walk outside, take a break and have coffee, do simple things that could amp up your mood.
3.
Genetics.
You may notice that some people age much faster than usual.
This is because one's aging process still very much depends on genetics.
But even if you have good genes, genetics will not fight the aging process.
If people blessed with good aging genes don't protect their skin, they will still look old compared to people with poor genes who take care of their skin.
4.
Bad lifestyle habits.
Excessive dieting, smoking, drinking, lack of exercise and not getting sufficient rest can all take a toll on your skin.
These bad habits can make you look tired and haggard.
Try your best to adapt to a much healthier lifestyle and you'll gradually see its positive effects on your skin.
