What if you feel like your skin’s elasticity isn’t what it used to be?

Rubbing your eyes often
Unconsciously rubbing your eyes can cause fine wrinkles and dark circles around your eyes. Because the skin around the eyes is delicate, even a slight rubbing can cause significant irritation. After washing your face, you should not vigorously rub lotion all over your face. In particular, many men apply lotion by rubbing it in, which quickly causes their skin to sag. When applying lotion, it is best to lightly sweep from bottom to top and dab it around the eyes.
Show emotions with your face
Fine wrinkles appear along the facial expression muscles. Just like when you’re under a lot of stress or in a bad mood, if you turn the corners of your mouth down, nasolabial folds will appear. Also, when you smile half-heartedly, it is easy for large wrinkles to form across your face, and if you pout frequently to be silly, small wrinkles can form on both sides of your lips. Like this, a frowning forehead and wrinkles between the eyebrows can go beyond looking old and give an eccentric impression.
Enjoy night culture
There is a saying that ‘sleep is the best medicine’. In fact, sleep has a significant impact on our daily life and health. In particular, just as your skin becomes irritated when you lack sleep, if you stay awake when you should be sleeping, the skin irritated during the day cannot be regenerated, causing the skin to become dry and lose elasticity. Sleep between 10pm and 2am, when cell division is most active, is the golden time to create beautiful skin. To prevent wrinkles, you need to give your skin time to rest.
I barely drink water
Water intake is essential for skin health. Moisture is very important not only for preventing wrinkles but also for preventing skin aging. If you are in your early 20s, you can maintain firm skin by drinking more than 1L of water a day, and if you are in your late 20s or 30s or older, you must drink more than 1.5L of water a day to be good for your skin. These days, many people drink tea or coffee instead of water. However, tea and coffee contain a large amount of caffeine, and if you consume too much caffeine, your body becomes overstimulated and, as a result, you become more tired.
Drinking and smoking
If you are concerned about your skin health, it is best to stay away from alcohol and cigarettes. If you drink alcohol frequently, the skin’s capillaries expand and moisture loss increases, making the skin rough. Skin regeneration speed is slowed, the complexion turns dark, and skin aging accelerates. It is said that the probability of a smoker developing wrinkles is about three times that of a non-smoker. Smoking reduces the amount of oxygen supplied to the skin and promotes the formation of harmful oxygen, which causes skin aging. Even for non-smokers, exposure to cigarette smoke can cause the skin to dry out as the moisture content of the stratum corneum decreases.
I have a habit of sleeping face down.
There are people whose nasolabial folds especially stand out when they smile. One of the causes of nasolabial folds around the mouth is sleeping on one’s stomach. If you sleep on your stomach, your cheeks will be pressed and receive strong stimulation, which can cause wrinkles to form. Also, some people sleep on high pillows, which strains the neck muscles and is the biggest cause of neck wrinkles. To prevent wrinkles, you should sleep as straight as possible and sleep with the pillow as low as possible.
Excessive dieting
If you continue to do one meal a day or detox therapy, which are popular these days, for a long time, it will be hard on your body. The problem is that among the body parts, facial fat, which has dense muscles, is the first to lose fat. In particular, fine wrinkles are more likely to form around the mouth and eyes, where the skin is thin and has fewer sebaceous glands. Excessive high-intensity exercise increases oxygen radicals in the body and accelerates aging. To avoid skin aging caused by dieting, it is recommended to lose about 2 to 3 kg of weight per month. Additionally, it is essential to consume protein to build muscle.
