Blue light is the cause of rapid skin aging. Image source: Internet In daily life, blue light penetrates the skin and causes cell damage, and accelerates the aging process. Even brief exposures of less than 60 minutes can cause skin aging. Smoke Besides affecting health, smoking is not good for the skin as the habit causes the amount of oxygen to the cells to decrease. The obvious consequence is wrinkles around the mouth and eye area. Some other factors that are affected when you smoke include elasticity, skin texture, restorative function and pore size. Unhealthy diet Bad eating habits can stimulate oxidative stress in the body due to harmful free radicals. An unhealthy diet can lead to skin damage, wrinkles and even cancer. Consuming nutrient-rich foods like green vegetables and seasonal foods helps maintain youthfulness and fight the aging process. Irregular sleep Irregular sleep is also a factor that promotes the aging process. A person must have a good night’s sleep lasting 6-8 hours per night. Improper sleep patterns can cause dark circles under the eyes and affect health. Lack of sleep can depress mental alertness and lead to premature aging. Use face wipes Aside from washing technique, the way you dry your skin afterwards is also a factor in causing aging skin. Facial wipes can help you remove dirt and excess oil left on your skin after washing your face. However, using a face towel is not necessarily a good habit. When using a face towel, many people have a habit of having a strong impact on the skin. “Rubbing the skin can cause low-grade inflammation. Over time, this can cause skin pigmentation. Even rubbing will promote premature wrinkles,” says dermatologist Joshua Zeichner at Glamor. Therefore, experts recommend drying your skin with a soft towel. Or, better yet, get rid of the towel altogether. Rachel Nazarian, a dermatologist in Schweiger, New York, says: “Air-drying is the best method. It’s a simple way to prevent any irritation, inflammation and signs of aging.”
