Skin Aging Dos and Don'ts: Tips and Prevention

What you should Do for Skin Aging

None

Sleep well

Sleeping is very important for skin anti-aging. It will make you look younger because your skin makes new collagen when you sleep, which prevents sagging.

Getting 5 hours a night can lead to twice as many fine lines as sleeping 7 hours would.

None

High intensity interval training (HIIT)

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is good for skin anti-aging because it increases IGF hormone which reduces skin wrinkling. 

HIIT also increases telomerase activity and telomere length (TL) which are important proteins for cellular aging and regenerative capacity.

Make sure you don't do HIIT frequently or don't over train. Keep it short and do it 2 to 3 times a week max.

What you should Avoid for Skin Aging

None

Avoid alcohol

Alcohol can add years to your face and accelerate you skin aging.

Alcohol causes wrinkles, puffiness, dryness, red cheeks and purple capillaries. It also dehydrates your entire body, including your skin.

None

Eat less carbs

Consume less carbs and sugar to reduce insulin production in the body.

Higher glucose levels are associated with a higher perceived age. 

Don't take hot showers: hot water causes wrinkles in the skin.

Don't take hot showers

Don't take hot showers because hot water can cause inflammation in the skin, resulting in a loss of moisture and leading to wrinkles.

For example, when you spend long time in the shower, wrinkles start appearing on your fingers. The same happens to your face. This is because your skin becomes dry and needs to be moisturized.

Do not rub your eyes because it might lead to wrinkles and skin aging.

Don't rub your eyes

Do not rub your eyes because the skin around the eyes is very delicate and susceptible to damage. This action puts a lot of pressure and tension on the eyes and make the skin fragile over time, which might cause wrinkles.

It might also cause the skin to stretch prematurely, which increases collagen breakdown and leads to skin aging.
