I have a blog but when we
Crane our neck to look down at a computer screen it causes wrinkles that can
become more prominent with time any repetitive motion it’s going contribute to
those wrinkles that accumulate with time I train yourself to relax your face
facial expressions are really important in conversation and conveying ideas and
communicating but you can train yourself to relax your face more and not use
those muscles as much.
this is helpful because a lot
of times we're flexing those muscles so who doesn't even realize it we’re
concentrating we're reading an email and nobody's looking at us but we’re
frowning or grimacing and we don’t necessarily need to do that so training
yourself to move your face box can actually help to hold a lot of tension in
your face also can be bad if you suffer from heavy headaches a lot tension
headache from focusing in a computer.
you're all hunched over number
three is your sleep that needs to be dialed down and when you're in your 20s
you know that's kind of why I wanted to carry this to you guys all these tips
are preventative and when you're in your 20s that is the that's a good time to
really push yourself to build a good sleep routine and to preserve your sleep
quality at night and make sure you’re getting good sleep you know when I was in
my 20s.
I remember kind of bragging and amongst friends we were bragging to one another about how little sleep we could get by boy do I regret that because, with a time that sleep deprivation shows up on your face, it's actually been shown
that sleep deprivation results in accelerated skin aging more dramatic appearance of some of the visible signs of aging like bags under the eyes eight hours of sleep should be the goal nine is perfect if you can get nine a night who you are winning that is amazing and keeps that preserve that holds on to it treasure it tips for getting that nine hours of sleep shut the world out about an hour.
before you want to go to bed this is imperative and by to shut the world out I mean no screens the blue light from the screens tricks your brain into staying awake longer you don't need that turn everything off you know and have some relaxing music and read a book that can help you transition to sleep just the eye moves back and forth can lull you to sleep your diet clean it up in your 20s clean up your diet you're busy you're trying to get your career off or maybe you're starting a family and so you know you start cutting corners and one of the first things people do outside slacking on their sleep quality is to cut corners with their diet.
rely on convenience food and nothing will age you faster than a trashy diet for that you make it a priority to at least get in your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables every day there's no excuse when you're in your 20s you are an adult you need to eat well and that will pay off dividends in the long run if you are eating out and you were eating drive up food or fast food or stuff that comes out of a vending machine that's not real food and that is not going to help your skin you need things like fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants healthy fats like avocado that can help in skin barrier integrity.
when I give you guys this tip about your diet it's not to tell you that these are bad foods and now you can't have them and that you should never go near them it's to tell you that they should not be your meals it'll show up on your face if you have a crummy diet not only that buy a diet rich in processed sugary foods contributes to something in the skin called advanced glycation end-products basically sugar molecules glomming on to the collagen in your skin and creating these advanced glycation end-products that result in wrinkles so that in combination with the UV is a formula for prominent wrinkles so clean up your diet be and being an adult and things that you need to do if you haven't already wash your face at night do not go to bed and ladies this is a bad idea cut that off.
now if you're in your 20s because
it'll just get harder and harder with
time bad habits that you don't break in
your 20s are gonna be harder to break in
your 30s even harder to break in your
40s and by the time you're 90 you're not
going to break those habits and your skin
is going to be like why are you doing
this to me it's still because makeup is
ear can be irritating the skin and you
have oils that build up on the surface
of your skin pollutants from the environment allergens plus that make up it all kind of decomposes on the surface of your skin it causes irritation and free radical damage to your skin the other thing.
I want to encourage you guys to do is to stop two bad habits one is smoking I don't care if you smoke a cigarette every third or fourth month that is too much one cigarette is too many cigarettes smoking destroys the collagen and the deeper layers of our skin creates a ton of free radical damage all over the body causes lung cancer accelerates aging accelerates and exacerbates pretty much every disease process and it gets harder and harder and harder and harder and harder to quit the longer you do right so if you're reading this and you're smoking and you're in your early 20s you have to stop I mean everyone has to stop but now it's gonna be easier for you than if you wait there's no
reason to wait just stop now and if you fail try again and if you fail again to try again the other bad habit that has been shown and is known to accelerate the rate of Aging is excessive alcohol consumption.
I'm not going to tell you that as an adult you cannot consume alcohol responsibly and studies are showing that modest amounts of alcohol specifically red wine can actually have a cardio-protective outcome but it's modest amounts if you were consuming more than eight alcoholic beverages a week that is excessive and we'll definitely accelerate the rate of aging in the skin it's immunosuppressive it makes it harder for your body to fight off free radicals and it you know causes a variety of other health conditions as well and leads to blushing and redness so it can create persistent redness in the skin which is really a problem with the of rosacea.
it interferes with your sleep
cycle tremendously although I'll make
you drowsy I'll make you fall asleep
because you awake right back up again a few
hours later it doesn't give you restorative sleep and so if you are
consuming too much alcohol in your 20s
cut that out cut it out it also affects your mood tremendously alcohol
does it's a depressant you know and so
if you suffer from any kind of mental
health disorder you know alcohol is
gonna make it much worse for you it's a
depressant and it's gonna make your
symptoms worse but even if you don't
suffer from those diseases it will cause
us those feelings and that's not a good
place to be there's so much pressure in
your 20s it's much it was the most high-pressure decade for me I didn't
enjoy my 20s at all actually there's a
lot of pressure in your 20s more.
so I think that any other decade in your life at least for me there was and it can be a very high-stress time if you don't prioritize these good habits and make them essentials for you they will age you and I'll contribute to other health problems I mentioned no smoking and no alcohol and eating your fruits and vegetables and getting lots of sleep the other thing is exercise consistently will prolong your life your quality of life and promote overall health and it will show up on your skin of a more radiant glow it will improve circulation to the skin.
it will help in terms of skin recovery and skin healing and fighting off those free radicals the exercise does not have to be at an athletic elite level at all walking is great that is what you need go on a walk with sunscreen on go on a walk or do some a topical vitamin a derivative whether it be prescription like threatening or over-the-counter add Abilene or retinol or retinol deeded these all can help remove sun damaged skin cells and help in boosting up collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin so that's a prudent ingredient to pursue but not at the expense of sun protection.
if you haven't got your sun protection dialed down in your 20s make that more of a priority in your skincare but yeah topical vitamin A is very evidence-based for improving the looks the improving photoaging and removing sun-damaged skin cells that actually can go on to form skin cancer so if you're motivated god is a good ingredient so those are my tips for keeping your skin looking young check the description box I will list everything that I mentioned here is first sunscreen if you liked it give it a thumbs up share it with your friends and as always don't forget the sunscreen.
