Before going out, put on a pair of eyeglasses and avoid squinting to prevent the development of crow’s feet. Also, don’t squint when staring at your computer.
Drinking too much sugar
Yes, sugar is in your favorite, colored drink. This bad habit is one of the reasons people age faster than they normally would had they not been fond of drinking sodas. Additionally, not only sodas cause you aging but also tea and coffee, which do not only stain teeth, but they also age your smile due to tooth enamel erosion.

Long and hot showers

If you want to keep skin moisture, you should consider taking cold showers or lowering water temperature, as well as cutting down the time, it takes you to shower. Do not also let the water stream run directly on your face because the combination of warm temperature and water pressure can be harsh for the skin.
Wearing ponytails
There are women who constantly wear ponytails and little they know that such can lead to hair loss due to the traction that its brings to the hair follicles. It is a stressing hairstyle that also leads to a receding hairline later. You can avoid it by changing this bad habit. Instead of tight buns, you should try loose braids.

Thanks for your skin and anti-aging hints. I am 85 years old and for some 40 years have been using a skin toner and moisturizer almost every other day.
I don’t look 85– more like a 70 year old (I’m told often enough). I do suggest that skin toners help to remove dead skin cells from the epiderma of the face and neck, then the moisturizer helps refresh it.
