Skin aging comes naturally with age. However, it can be alarming for some people if they encounter the symptoms before their 40s. This is because of unhealthy vices and habits. Fortunately, signs of premature skin aging can be taken care of with HydraFacial® in Miami. To go along with HydraFacial®, here are some habits you should avoid.

What Habits Should You Avoid?

Stress

Stress is a natural response to events around you, but too much of it is destructive to the body. Stress releases the hormone cortisol, a trigger for the skin to pump out oil. Aside from causing breakout of dermal problems like acne, chronic stress also dehydrates the skin. Dried skin becomes saggy and prone to wrinkles – a sign of skin aging.

The only way around chronic stress is to find methods of relaxation that work for you. You can read a book, pursue a new hobby or simply take a break from work to travel.

Not Getting Enough Exercise

Exercise benefits the body in multiple ways. It builds stronger muscles and improves heart health. Working out also tells the body to eliminate toxins and other byproducts by sweating.

Most importantly, physical activity increases the blood flow to all our organs, including the skin. An increased blood flow boosts the skin’s ability to remove dead cells and harmful toxins. As long as you follow proper post-workout cleansing, you’ll end your exercise routine feeling and looking radiant.

Smoking and Excessive Alcohol Intake

Alcohol is a potent diuretic. Instead of rehydrating the body, alcohol’s sugar content pushes the kidneys to release liquids from the body to flush the excess sugar out. Smoking, on the other hand, diminishes the body’s blood flow and oxygen supply. Low oxygen can kill healthy cells and cause organ damage. It can also cause teeth discoloration.

Lack of Sleep

Sleep is the body’s recovery mechanism. While we rest, your body is healing itself at a cellular level. The cells work overnight to replace dead skin with new cells, so the skin looks new the next day. However, you can only maximize this renewal if you get at least 6 hours of sleep each night. If you can, try to get 8 hours.

Establishing a sleep routine can help you get enough rest every night. If you’re consistently having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor for treatment.
