No one wants to look old than his or her age. Well, who wants to look like 50 years old when you are just 30? Or who wants to be mistaken as a mom when you are single and just walking in the park with your five-year-old sister?  If you don’t want to be mistaken for someone you were not because of dull skin, take a look at the following tips for those habits or things you do that add age to your skin.

Taking sleep for granted

Whatever your age is, you should always make sleep as a priority. Not enough sleep will make you anxious the next day, stress you out and make you feel and look old. These things will certainly reflect on your skin. You can fix this by sticking with a sleep schedule every day.  Sleep and wake up at the same time each day.

Not using sunscreen

Perhaps, you love sunbathing or going to the beach in the summer, but not applying sunscreen before exposing yourself to the sun is a bad idea. The heat of the sun can damage your skin, leading to breakouts and skin irritation. It will also make your skin dry. The simplest way to fix this is not forgetting to use sunscreen when going out with the heat of the sun up.

Sleeping with your make up on

This is not a good habit for the skin. You should remove the cosmetics you have applied on your face before sleeping because makeup contains harsh chemicals and ingredients to make your skin look old.

Not washing your face at night

Whether you have applied make up or not, you should not forget washing your face with lukewarm water to remove the dirt and pollutants your skin has absorbed during the day.

Unhealthy diet

Skip the fast food. Forget about refined sugar. Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. Have healthy and balanced meals. These are the things you can do to fix an unhealthy diet.

Putting too much on your skin

Women love to put so many things on their skin especially on their face.  It is a bad habit that will damage your skin. The more cosmetics you apply on your skin the more problems it will have.  If you don’t want to age faster, you should not apply too many cosmetics on your face because they look harsh and irritating ingredients that will make your skin look dull.

Over thinking and stress

Yes, stress can add age on your skin because it elevates the level of cortisol in your body, leading to inflammation that triggers many skin problems.   Learn how to manage stress. Do yoga, meditate and try breathing exercises.  You can also start a new hobby to divert your attention and feel better and happier.

Learning about the things that add age on your face is a good idea because it can help you reflect on your bad skin and lifestyle habits that accelerate aging.  Fix those mistakes, notice the difference and stay younger, longer.
