Is your skin aging faster than you are? Its probably safe to say that your
skin's greatest foe is NOT time but environmental and lifestyle factors.
Your facial skin is specially vulnerable to these factors as it is
constantly exposed and bombarded by them.
Watching out for these factors
can improve the performance of your skin care routine and dramatically improve
your skin's texture, tone and clarity.
If the answer is no, you can still do something about it now, and if you
answered yes, keep it young and glowing by knowing what ages your skin. And by
taking the proper precautions and timely care for it, you can slow down the
natural aging process of your skin.
Here are 8 environmental and
lifestyle factors that can speed aging skin:
1) Sun Exposure (this includes tanning
beds)
2) Cigarette Smoke (inhaled or
second-hand)
3) Pollution or Environmental Toxins (car
exhaust or household cleaning products)
4) A Poor Diet
(fast foods or processed foods) and Not Enough Fruits and
Vegetables
5) Excess Alcohol
Consumption
6) Stress
7) Harsh
Skin Care Products, Soaps or Detergents
8) Sleep
Deprivation
Additionally, the idea behind the list is not to frighten you or never to have
you use cleaning supplies or to become a recluse and never leave your house. The
idea is to find ways to manage them and still live a full life.
