According to the American Cosmetic Surgery Association, not only women but also men use cosmetics and botox in the hope of rejuvenating the face. To avoid losing money, stick to the spring and the eyebrow, limit the following habits given by Business Insider.

Do not use sunscreen

Joshua Zeichner, director of the Center for Cosmetic and Clinical Research in the Department of Dermatology, Mount Sinai Hospital (USA), says ultraviolet exposure damages collagen, elastin and skin cells. Therefore, the skin gets premature aging with many wrinkles, dark spots and increases the risk of skin cancer. In another study, proper daily use of sunscreens resulted in 24% lower skin aging than people who did not use this type of cosmetics.

Sleepless

Zeichner explains that skin cells also work in the biological rhythm like the sleep cycle. At night, the cells recover the skin damage caused by acne, sunshine or pollution. Lack of sleep interferes with the process leading to cells becoming less healthy and premature aging skin. You should sleep at least 8 hours a night and can combine moisturizer because of dry skin, inflammation that limits the cell's ability to repair itself.

Eat less fruit

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables can limit skin damage and aging because nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins make skin cells healthy. Specifically, vitamin E protects skin from ultraviolet rays, pigmentation problems and reduces inflammation. Besides, vitamins A, C, and B3 are also good for the skin because they prevent collagen breakdown, maintain elasticity and reduce hyperpigmentation. You can eat dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, oranges, red peppers, strawberries, asparagus or mushrooms.

Eat lots of sugar

In addition to increasing the size of the waistline, sugar in starchy foods such as bread, ice cream or fried potatoes also stimulates inflammation and acne. Eating too many sweets also leads to glycation, in which sugar molecules attach to collagen. This makes collagen less flexible and promotes wrinkles earlier.

Smoking

According to the American Cancer Society, smoking is not only harmful to the lungs but also to all vital organs, including the skin. According to a study published on Reconstructive and Reconstructive Surgery, after comparing the facial features of 79 twins with one person in each pair of smokers, they were reported to have multiple blisters , wrinkles on the lips and cheeks are more sagging than the other non-smokers. The arms also begin to crimp because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients due to shrinking blood vessels. In addition, tobacco contains chemicals harmful to collagen and elastin as well as causing periodontal disease, leading to loss of teeth, receding gums and discoloration of teeth.

Do not drink enough water

Symptoms of dehydration often include cramps, dizziness or appetite. Dr Richard Besser, ABC News Health and Health, said that when dehydrated, the body draws water from the tissues and skin to maintain blood levels in the blood so the skin becomes dry and loses its elasticity. Although the need for water depends on body weight and frequency of activity, a 90 kg man is recommended to drink about 3 liters of water, equivalent to 12.5 cups according to US standards.

Too stressful

A 2004 study concluded that prolonged stress on telomeres shortened the aging of people, both in appearance and body. Therefore, Dr. Warren Willey, research author published in the Washington Post, recommends that each person should meditate for 10 minutes a day to reduce stress. You can't control almost everything in life, so slow down and take a deep breath, according to Men's Health.
