Skin not only decorates appearance but also has many other important functions.
As you get older, your skin’s appearance becomes less smooth, it gradually loses collagen, and reduces its elasticity.
Bad sleeping habits
Sleeping habits can be a common cause of wrinkles.
To avoid wrinkles when sleeping on your side, choose a pillow that reduces pressure on your face or change your position to your back.
Smoke
Smoking not only negatively impacts the heart and lungs, but can also cause the skin to age prematurely, making it look much older.
Eat too much sugar
Aging is part of the natural process but can be accelerated by increased sugar intake.
Eating too many sweets can increase the amount of sugar in the body, easily causing inflammation.
Do not remove makeup
Not removing makeup properly is very harmful to the skin and can easily form wrinkles.
Avoid sharing makeup with others and choose the type that is suitable for your skin to avoid dry and irritated skin.
Do not use sunscreen
