Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery injections in today's market. Facial lines seem to be the one thing that no one wants, and Botox is often the answer to people’s wrinkle woes; however, there are many who either can’t afford to top up on Botox every year or just would rather not have it.
Even with wrinkle-busting solutions available, the truth is this: prevention is better than the cure, which is why this list of wrinkle-causing habits with their respective prevention methods has been created just for you.
Rubbing Your Face Too Hard
When you are quickly getting ready in the morning, you may often slap your moisturiser on and not think about how harsh you are. Unfortunately, just putting on anti-wrinkle cream is good enough.; you have to be careful with putting it on.
By gently applying cream, you can easily prevent a significant amount of wrinkles and sagging from appearing over time. This is especially important around the eyes, as that is the most delicate area of skin.
Speaking of moisturising, you should also be moisturising your neck just as much as your face. Your neck skin is thin; it also needs care and protection since the sun will cause wrinkles in this area much quicker than in other parts of your body.
Drinking Alcohol
You probably already know that alcohol dehydrates you, but did you know that dehydration causes you to age quicker? Unfortunately, those who drink regularly experience wrinkles much faster and even worse than those who don’t. Not only wrinkles, but dehydration from alcohol causes the skin to sag since it saps the moisture out of it.
Additionally, drinking causes your eyes to grey and age quicker, making you appear much older. The only way to combat alcohol-induced ageing is to stop drinking so much and make sure you don’t go overboard or, even better, stop drinking altogether – banishing booze from your life makes you look better and significantly improves your overall health.
Squinting
One way you may be ageing yourself faster is squinting! Unfortunately, this can be a hard one to hide from. You can wear sunglasses to protect yourself from squinting when in the sun, but even then, it’s difficult to stop since it’s a habit most people have.
Also, it’s not just about brightness; if you wear glasses but often forget them, you might squint to see something far away or when reading. This is why vision-correcting procedures, like the SmartSight laser eye surgery or SMILE eye surgery Brisbane offers, will help you stop squinting one and for all and prevent eye wrinkles – not to mention allow you to throw away your glasses, which are known to make people look older.
Sleeping on Your Side
Sadly, even sleeping can cause wrinkles! If you are a side sleeper or you sleep on your stomach, you will be pushing the skin on your face in all different directions. But sleeping on your back can help prevent pillow-related aging by removing pesky pressure and facial tugging.
If you have slept on one side your entire life, it can be incredibly hard to change to sleeping on your back. You can train yourself to do this, or there are other ways to help. You can buy skin smoothers, which are sticky patches you place on your problem areas, keeping your skin in the same place, smooth, and not smooched.
