Small mistakes that increase wrinkles

Pravrajya Suruchi

Wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, but certain habits and lifestyle factors can contribute to their formation or exacerbate their appearance.

Here are some small mistakes that can increase wrinkles:

Not Wearing Sunscreen: Exposure to UV radiation from the sun is one of the leading causes of premature skin ageing, including wrinkles.

Smoking: Smoking is associated with premature ageing of the skin. It reduces blood flow to the skin, depriving it of oxygen and essential nutrients.

Poor Sleep Habits: Inadequate sleep or poor sleep quality can impair the skin's ability to repair and regenerate, leading to the development of wrinkles over time.

Frequent Facial Expressions: Repetitive facial movements, such as squinting, frowning, or smiling, can contribute to the formation of dynamic wrinkles

Not Hydrating Enough: Dehydrated skin appears dull, dry, and more prone to wrinkles.

Poor Diet: A diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress in the body which can accelerate skin ageing.
