1. Overusing Makeup Wipes
Why it ages you: The friction breaks down collagen fibers and damages your skin barrier, accelerating fine lines. Micellar water or oil-based cleansers are safer.
2. Skipping Protein in Your Diet
Why it ages you: Your skin depends on amino acids to rebuild collagen and elastin. Low-protein diets can cause thinning skin, sagging, and delayed healing.
3. Not Drinking Enough Water
Why it ages you: Dehydration reduces skin elasticity and gives a dull, tired appearance.
4. Drinking Coffee on an Empty Stomach
Why it ages you: Morning coffee spikes cortisol, which breaks down collagen and elastin fibers. Pairing caffeine with food or antioxidants minimizes the effect.
5. Excess Sugar & Processed Foods
Why it ages you: Sugar binds to collagen through glycation, causing stiffness and sagging.
6. Poor Sleep
Why it ages you: Less repair time for your skin leads to puffiness, dullness, and premature fine lines.
