You can look fresh and youthful even at 45+! Because radiantly beautiful skin is not a question of age but the result of a skin-smart lifestyle in combination with a coordinated skincare routine. If you want to prevent premature skin ageing and need tips on what to avoid for a well-groomed complexion, read further. The list below tells you everything you need to know.

Sunlight

It’s perfect in summer when the first rays of sunshine tickle our noses. But the Sunshould be enjoyed with caution because it is the most significant cause of premature skin ageing. In plain language: If you don’t protect yourself all year round with a good sun protection factor, your skin will suffer. Wrinkles, redness and enlarged pores are the consequences. Therefore, make sure you use a day cream with a sun protection factor and apply it even if you stay all day indoors because photoaging in the form of UVA rays does not stop at the window glass.

Chronological Ageing

Every day you get a little older. Therefore, logically, every year makes itself felt on your skin. Since nobody can stop the wheel of time, you should keep a relaxed attitude towards your wrinkles. And focus on what’s in your power.

Facial Movements

Facial movements determine which areas first show signs of ageing. As a result, the parts of your face often develop wrinkles earlier. Incidentally, this is why ”face tightening exercises” are not a good idea and why Botox works so well; it relaxes the frown lines or forehead lines caused by muscle movements.

Weakening of the skin’s surface

Sunlight is one of the culprits that can weaken your skin’s barrier. Environmental influences can also cut your skin’s surface, as can cosmetic products that contain skin-irritating substances.

Care

Do you massage your skin with quality Skincare products gently? And do you remove your eye makeup slowly and gently? When you rub your skin against it, you pull on the elastin fibres simultaneously. These are responsible for your skin’s robustness and ability to “spring back” after you move it. In addition, it’s pretty difficult to stimulate the skin to produce more elastin. So treat your face gently and like you’re wearing kid gloves – a practice you can learn from Asian women.

Your Health

Your lifestyle choices give you a degree of control over your health. Because external changes are related to the entire ageing process and are a criterion for the condition of your body. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, slight alcohol and not smoking are the essential factors that you can use to prevent premature skin ageing. So stop making excuses and get off the couch!
