Here are seven ways you can take matters into your own hands and reduce the toll time has on your skin.

1. Shun the sun

2. Maximize your moisturizer

Avoid fragrances and any products that aren’t gentle on your skin. “Irritation causes dryness and more damage,” says Dr VSports最新版本. Piliang. Instead, find moisturizers with ceramides that replenish your skin, and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) that exfoliate and soften it.

3. Keep sugar and carbs in check

Insulin causes inflammation in your skin and all over your body. “Sugar binds to the elastic and collagen fibers that make skin look plump and youthful V体育平台登录.

Smoking causes havoc beyond your heart and lungs, damaging your skin, too. “Smoking makes the little blood vessels in skin constrict,” explains Dr. Piliang. “Over time, the collagen and elastic fibers are damaged, and your skin gets more wrinkled VSports在线直播. ”.

7. Feast on good fats

“Eating a good diet with lots of healthy fats from olive oil, avocado and nuts will nourish your skin,” says Dr V体育2025版. Piliang. Your skin loves antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies, and lean proteins, too. And be sure to hydrate your skin with lots of water.

“The more of these healthy habits you wrap into your lifestyle, the more your skin will reflect them,” Dr. Piliang emphasizes.
