Rufus R. Noble We all want to have radiant, youthful-looking skin. Many of us spend time and money on our beauty routines, but we still make mistakes, or worse, bad habits, every day that will age us. Eek.
Read on to learn what they are, and stop committing them now!

Do not update your skincare as your skin changes.
You may have used the same moisturizer for years, but the product will not work in your 30s, 40s, or beyond. As we age, our skin needs change dramatically. As collagen and elastin begin to diminish, skin becomes thinner, dryer, more sensitive, and loses its elasticity. Fine lines and wrinkles also start to appear. Anti-aging skincare containing hyaluronic, collagen, and vitamin C is essential. To learn more about this, read the experts’ top 5 skincare ingredients and adjust your products accordingly.
Makeup in bed
Here’s a song you’ve probably heard before! Right? It can be difficult to get out of bed and remove makeup, but you have to!
For healthy skin, it is important to cleanse your face at night. This will remove your makeup as well as any dirt or sweat from the day. If you don’t remove your makeup, your skin will not be able to regenerate while you sleep. Your pores may clog, and your skin will age. Signs start to appear. Try Doux Contour Waterproof Eye and Lip Makeup Remover for a makeup remover that melts makeup and grime away with minimal effort. This ultra-hydrating makeup removal product combines the efficacy of oil (in fact, three oils) with the gentleness and effectiveness of lotion. It removes even the stubbornest of eye and lip makeup quickly!

Skipping on your moisturiser
You’re at that time of month when a few pimples are surfacing, or you suffer from adult acne or have oily skin. So, why not stop using moisturizer, which is only going to make the problem worse? Wrong.
Although you may not be the only one who thinks that applying a moisturizer daily is counterproductive, everyone needs to do so, regardless of their skin type or concerns. Moisturizer helps to keep skin hydrated throughout the day and can also help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Applying moisturizer can reduce the risk of extreme dryness, skin sensitivities, and oiliness. Why? Dehydrated skin may cause issues such as inflammation, premature aging, and breakouts. Your body will produce more oil when your skin gets dry. We all know that excess oil can cause pimples to appear.
You can find moisturizers based on your skin concerns. So, you only need to do some research to find the best one for your needs. It would be best if you used lighter creams during the day, particularly in warmer months. And richer creams for the night.
We recommend Oligopur Hydra Matifying Control Creme for oily skin. This ultra-light cream controls shine and oil throughout the day. No shine, no feeling of greasiness, no sense of heaving!
Try Acnipure Blush Solution Fluid for acne-prone skin. It’s a light gel cream that fights pimples without irritating the skin or clogging up pores. It helps to eliminate shine, reduces the appearance and frequency of blemishes, and prevents future breakouts. !
Only wear SPF during summer.
The number one contributor to skin aging is skipping your SPF. The number one cause of skin aging, according to dermatologists, is not using SPF.
UV rays will age your skin faster, causing wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, and more. Exposure to UV rays can cause your skin to age faster, causing wrinkles, fine lines, sunspots, and more. Applying SPF sunscreen every day will help keep the skin looking young. Remember that the higher the factor, the better. This is especially true in the summer months.
You may think that your makeup contains SPF to protect your skin.
If you wear makeup alone, it is unlikely that it will prevent premature aging. Makeup with an SPF of 30 or more is recommended. The majority of makeup only blocks UVB rays, which are the ones that cause skin damage. If you want to maintain the youthful look of your skin, layering a moisturizer with high SPF and foundation is the best way. However, if your moisturizer doesn’t have sun protection, you can still use it and apply a lighter SPF, such as the Luminous Defense Brightening Day Protect SPF 50. It not only protects skin from the sun’s harmful radiation, but it also reduces dark spots while calming your complexion and brightening it at the same!
It would be best if you still used a foundation that has SPF to get that extra coverage and protection. When you apply sunscreen, you may miss some important spots, but you wouldn’t with foundation. ELES’ Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation with SPF15 has become an institution. This is a mineral-enriched, liquid formula that glides onto the skin with broad-spectrum protection. It sets into a powdery finish. You won’t be let down!
Only focus on wrinkles.
Dark spots and pigmentation are not only a concern for fine lines and wrinkles but can also give your complexion a dull, devitalized, and older look. Dark spots and an uneven skin tone may make you look ten years older. If you have hyperpigmentation, you should use products that are designed to address this issue. It will improve your complexion and also protect your skin. Mela White Radiance, the brightening essence from the Vie Collection, is a daily cream with triple-action that fights dark spots, UV, and free radicals. The results speak for themselves.
Rubbing Your Eyes
FACT: The skin around your eyes is most delicate. It’s easy for us to rub our eyes when we are tired or apply eye makeup without precision. You’re not alone if you’ve pulled at your eyes. But pulling, rubbing, or tugging at the eye area can break tiny blood vessels, which results in dark circles. Of. The. Time. Apply an anti-ageing cream to your eyes every morning and evening. View Collection Chrono Eyes Dark Circles Wrinkles Cream is my current favorite. This is a beautiful cream that’s rich in moisturizing ingredients. It will nourish your eye area and reverse puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles! Seriously!
It would be best if you did not ignore your neck and décolletage
Oh, that forgotten area! The area of skin that can age you most is the neck and decolletage. If you don’t protect your neck and decolletage with SPF or care for them daily, they will become crepey and wrinkled much sooner than they should. It would be best if you also took care of your neck and decolletage.
You can also use neck and chest products. I use Pevonia’s Age Correction Rapid Restorer Neck and Chest every day. It’s a 2-in-1 serum and cream that hydrates, refines, and brightens the skin, giving it a youthful appearance while also smoothing out wrinkles! There is nothing wrong with using a body lotion or moisturizer instead. Start now!
Exfoliators: Avoid them
Not only do fine lines and wrinkles make you appear older, but a dull skin tone will also add years to your appearance!
Exfoliation is important because as we age, our skin’s ability to shed dead skin cells decreases. Without weekly exfoliation, skin can become uneven and dull. Exfoliation is important and should not be neglected. Exfoliation is a step that many people fear because they believe it will aggravate their existing skin issues. But natural enzyme exfoliators are the solution.
Phytomer’s Vegetal Exfoliant With Natural Enzymes and Pevonia’s Enzymo Spherides Peeling Cream both contain natural enzymes that melt away dead skin cells without the need for scrubbing. Remember that removing dead cells will help your skin absorb moisture, which will keep fine lines at bay and prevent dehydration. Who wouldn’t want to have that?!
Exfoliating too much is not recommended.
Stop exfoliating your skin too much! Exfoliating too much can slow down cell turnover and cause inflammation. This can accelerate aging. For best results, exfoliate once a week. Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating cleanser is a great option if you like to exfoliate with grains or microbeads, but your skin can be sensitive. It’s perfect for those who enjoy physical exfoliators who have granules but don’t want to use facial scrubs because they can be harsh. This unique, granular, yet creamy texture gently polishes the skin with jojoba, saponaria, and chamomile. It reveals a smoother, brighter, and softer complexion each time. In September, if you buy Pevonia Vitamin C complex (the ideal skin-brightening serum for summer), you will receive a free full-size Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser!
Drinking too little water
While I sit here and write this, I can raise my hand to say that I have only consumed two glasses of water today when I should, in fact, have consumed at least 1 liter! It’s a fact that water, or the lack thereof, is a skin-aging agent! It’s true; I preach what I practice! I indeed try to remember, but sometimes, it is easy for me to forget. When I forget, I’m angry with myself because I can see the difference in my skin. It looks drier, duller, and less vibrant. Drinking ‘enough water’ helps flush out toxins and increases blood flow, which in turn gives the skin a dewy look. And dewy skin equals youthful skin, after all!
Are you not a big fan of water? Instead, try a good herbal or fruit tea.
Extreme temperatures of water
How many of you have taken a hot bath or washed your face with hot water? For the best health and health results, we should rinse it with lukewarm or warm water. Extreme water temperatures can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing it to become dry and age faster. Too hot water can dilate capillaries, causing spider veins.
Sleeping too little …. when you could sleep more
If I had one dollar for each time I told my husband that I needed more sleep and was tired of looking old and worn out, I would be rich. They say to practice what you preach. I can attest that I have not slept enough (even though I could fit in an extra 1-2 hours per night, thanks to Netflix! You age, literally.
Sleep deprivation is directly responsible for premature aging and other conditions such as eczema or acne, dermatitis, or dermatitis. It can also cause loss of collagen. It’s scary, right? Let’s try to get the 8+ hours we need every night.
