Medical Video: 8 Skin Habits That Make You Look Older
Wrinkled skin is part of the aging process. Wrinkles on the face will appear and form wrinkles on your skin. Apart from aging, there are more causes of wrinkled skin that are not realized due to daily habits. What are the habits that cause wrinkles?
Small habits that are the cause of wrinkled skin
1. Chewing gum
Chewing gum can be a cause of wrinkles at the bottom of the mouth, as well as can cause problems in the structure of the mouth. Eating gum with a high sugar content can also cause risk of diabetes.
2. Scratching and squeezing zits
For those of you who like to scrape pimples, let's stop this habit immediately. Let your pimples disappear using acne medications, treatment go to the doctor, or just leave it alone to improve yourself. Scratching or squeezing your pimpled skin will cause damage, irritation, wounds, and wrinkles.
3. Pull the skin when using makeup
Pulling or rubbing the skin of the face when dressing can cause wrinkles to appear. Wear makeup without having to pull the facial skin like the edges of the eyes, mouth, or eyebrows when applying makeup. Moving your face to help make the makeup more suitable to apply to the face is okay, as long as do not pull the skin until it looks flat.
4. Drink sweet, alcoholic and carbonated drinks
Some studies suggest that drinking soft drinks (which usually contain large amounts of sugar) will adversely affect your skin. Because the glycation content in sweet drinks can cause collagen in the skin to become more fragile. The elasticity and firmness of your skin can decrease, so that the face becomes easy to appear wrinkles.
Besides soft drinks, alcohol is also not good for the skin because it can increase leakage in blood vessels, which can cause your skin to relax or look soft. Alcohol can also make you dehydrated and make wrinkles more visible.
5. Less consumption of healthy fats
Good fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids from fish can help prevent various chronic ailments such as heart disease and diabetes. In addition, fat in fish can renew cell membranes that can help maintain water content on the skin to be nutritious and feel moist and smooth. Apart from fish, you can also get omega-2 fatty acids through nuts such as almonds and walnuts.
6. Don't wear sunglasses
To prevent wrinkles and radiation from the sun, it is important to use sunblock and moisturizer every day. Also, do you know that sunglasses that are used to prevent glare can also help you avoid wrinkles around the eyes?
Yes, often squinting your eyes because holding glare will make your eyes wrinkle. Make sure you wear glasses that have a UV filter to keep your eyes from the sun which can damage the skin around your eyes.
7. Drink using straws
Straws may help you to avoid stains on your teeth, but this can also be a cause of wrinkles in the mouth. Suctioning continuously for a long time can cause wrinkles around the mouth. Try drinking directly from the can or bottle if possible.
