Our face is how we face the world, it\u2019s probably the first thing we notice in a person and we make judgments about a person\u2019s age and lifestyle based on their facial appearance. Premature aging can bring with it its own special beauty, but it can also make your face look tired and unhealthy.<\/p>\n
In order to maintain <\/strong>healthy looking skin<\/strong> and prevent premature aging, you need to look after your face<\/strong> and the sooner you start, the better.<\/p>\n \u2018Careworn\u2019 is an adjective our grandparents would have recognized, the fact that nothing ages you like stress is not a new discovery.\u00a0Stress<\/a> releases cortisol which causes bad skin. It may also cause redness, flushing, dry skin and premature graying of the hair.<\/p>\n If you are stressed to the max, you won\u2019t sleep well and that will make your face look puffy and old. Contemporary life is stressful, it\u2019s built into our working lives, we create it in our social lives, our personal relationships, and our online life and there\u2019s no sign of it going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n So, what you need to do is get it under control<\/strong>, a certain level of stress may be just what you need to function at your optimum level, but if you\u2019re swamped in it then it\u2019s time to reclaim your life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve big problems which are causing you stress, create a plan to resolve them, manage your time and if you are ill, don\u2019t try and soldier on, rest.\u00a0Exercise<\/strong> is a great stress buster, as is yoga or gardening, find something that works for you.<\/p>\n Some of those things which you do to help combat stress may actually make you more stressed.\u00a0 Nicotine is a stimulant and will increase your sense of stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Smoking<\/a> dries your skin and lines your face and alcohol consumption will burst surface blood vessels and bloat your skin. So, if you want to stay looking youthful and healthy, don\u2019t smoke and drink in moderation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The skin on your face<\/a> is your primary defense against your environment<\/strong> and cracks in the skin make you susceptible to infection. Harsh cleansers, such as natural soap, can eliminate essential moisture from your skin so always use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and bacteria and moisturize twice daily.<\/p>\n Use a sunscreen which protects against UVA and UVB rays and will help prevent premature aging<\/strong>. Remember that you should reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, and if you\u2019re off for a swim in the summer sunshine, then reapply sunscreen as soon as you are out of the water.<\/p>\n Not only will sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays<\/strong>, but they will also protect the delicate skin around the eyes<\/strong>, preventing dark circles and wrinkles.<\/p>\n For those that aren\u2019t fortunate enough to have 20\/20 vision, sunglasses are often forgotten and disregarded a lot. Glasses that adjust to the light or prescription sunglasses, allow for a protected and clear view.<\/p>\n It should also be noted that sunglasses should be worn all year round as UV rays can get through clouds, as well as reflect off of surfaces like water and snow. You should also replace your sunglasses every 2 years.<\/p>\n1. Nothing ages you faster than worry<\/h3>\n
