It seems that people’s lives are getting more hectic, with early mornings, early mornings, busy social lives, and modern technology taking over our lives. When many of us feel pressured to fit everything into the day, eventually it will all take its toll and have the potential to prematurely age your skin.
Stressful schedules
A busy social life and trying to attend all the social invitations we are invited to can increase our stress levels and cause us to lose our eight hours of sleep. Tiredness and stress can cause dull skin and wrinkles, and can weaken your immune system, which can lead to breakouts.
Series marathons
It seems like these days, there are a lot of great movies and TV shows that we feel like we have to see. In these days of box games, no one wants to wait until next week’s episode, and we tend to watch them all in one go. Unfortunately, this can cause tiredness, dull, dehydrated skin, dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles under the eyes.
Night hours
Not getting a good night’s sleep can wreak havoc on our skin. Whether it’s partying with your friends, working or watching movies late into the night, we are literally losing our restful sleep. One of the many side effects of excessive alcohol consumption is its ability to dry out the skin. The later we fall into bed, the more likely we won’t bother to remove makeup and this can end up clogging our pores and causing blemishes. Lack of sleep will dehydrate the skin making it appear dull and cause puffiness and dark shadows under the eyes.
Technology
It’s scary to think that our cell phones and electronics may be ruining our appearance. Our obsession with our phones and computers is really taking its toll on our neck and jaw lines. The skin on the neck is thin and fragile, and because it is a highly visible part of the body, this area can really show how fast we are aging. When you are constantly looking at your phone; On social media, videos, and games, it causes sagging jowls and neck wrinkles, accelerating the signs of aging.
Out and about
When we are outdoors we come into contact with car fumes, smog and dust, and over time they all have a harmful effect on our skin. All of these are impossible things for us to avoid and can cause dehydration, wrinkles, and redness. Pollution is now believed to be as damaging to our skin as UV exposure. It is important to cleanse, tone and hydrate the skin to remove daily dirt.
