7 Behaviors That Harm Your Skin

Sugar consumption

There is a cellular aging process (glycation) that occurs when sugar binds to skin proteins and causes these proteins to become rigid. Despite the stiffness it causes, sugar consumption results in the loss of collagen, causing sagging and the appearance of wrinkles.

Not Using Sunscreen

Solar radiation is responsible for 80% of the aging of exposed skin, especially in whiter skin, which undergoes this process prematurely. Lack of sun protection is the main cause of aging and skin cancer. The FPS, for everyday life, should never be less than 30 for the face, neck, neck, and hands.

Smoking

There are 4700 toxic substances inside a cigarette alone. Each cigarette compromises the oxygenation of the skin for up to 90 minutes and the result is a thick, yellowish skin - because of the nicotine - dull and opaque. Cigarettes also favor collagen loss, leading to flaccidity, in addition to causing wrinkles around the lips and eyes.

Not Drinking Enough Water

By keeping your body hydrated, the skin maintains its freshness and firmness. It is recommended to consume at least 2 liters of water per day.

Poor Sleep

Sleep produces melatonin and growth hormone, which have rejuvenating properties. Have you ever noticed that when you don't sleep well, you wake up with dull skin and dark circles? Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night.

Expired Cosmetic

When the cosmetic expires, its preservatives lose their effect. Without these active principles, makeup items become the perfect place for the development of microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria.

Dismiss the moisturizer

A well-hydrated face has good elasticity, while dehydrated skin tends to have more sagging and wrinkles. Don't skip the moisturizer.
