"Many people do not think that the habits which they say okay it is a cause of premature aging," says Mary P. Lupo, MD, a dermatologist from New Orleans, as reported by Health.com on Monday (1/30/2012).
Here it is bad habits that can accelerate aging:
1. Wearing facial cleansing scrub containing
During this time people thought that the scrub can remove the dirt in the face better, but according to Lupo, cleaners that contain scrub makes your skin irritated and eroded. In the end, the skin will look older.
"We recommend using a cleanser without soap scrub, or if you have time could use a little baking soda and warm water as a facial cleanser to remove dead skin cells," advises Lupo.
2. Frequent bathing with warm water
The habit of bathing in warm water causes the fat layer that protects the skin cells become damaged and reduce humidity. Body fat will indeed restore the damaged was a few hours later, but as long as the fat is gone, the body continues to release moisture so that the symptoms appear wrinkled.
For that, Lupo suggests if you want to shower with warm water, do not get more than 10 minutes. Bathing with warm water does feel very comfortable and convenient, but if over time is not good for the skin.
3. Jump to comb the hair after a shower
Usually after a shower, the next habit to do is comb my hair. Apparently, according to Lupo habits can damage skin cells and makes hair fall out even faster bald. We recommend that you trim the hair first before bathing and better yet use a toner to strengthen hair.
4. Sleeping face down or face to the stomach
Be careful with your sleeping position. If your face while sleeping face down (the stomach), get ready for faster wrinkled. "The force of gravity makes the blood flow pulled down, and the eyes will look swell.
If this happens every night, skin can lose elasticity and collagen formed eye bags that make a person look older, "said Lupo.'d Better try to sleep with a flat pillow. Using a pillow of satin and silk materials can also reduce the risk of wrinkles.
