Most women fear wrinkles and saggy skin due to aging. But you need not fear aging if you know how to take care of your skin and health. Here are few tips to fight skin dulness and wrinkles, so that you look beautiful irrespective of your age.

Sun protection

Protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen everyday. Make sure that your sunscreen provides both UVA and UVB protection to prevent sun damage as well as skin cancer.

Stop smoking

Smoking not only harms your body but also your skin. It's one of the main causes of premature skin aging. Smoking destroys your collagen and elastin, the two vital parameters that keep your skin firm and youthful. Oestrogen plays an important role in keeping the skin firm. When you smoke the body's oestrogen level decreases and skin sags.

Anti-ageing products

Choose your anti-ageing products with care. Look for ingredients like retinol, CLA4 and AHA, which minimizes the appearance of age spots and fine lines.

Hydration

Keep your skin hydrated by drinking lots of water, and other healthy liquids like coconut water, lime juice and mint water. The more you keep your body hydrated the better for your skin, which works inside out.

Get adequate sleep

Sleeping well at night is vital for skin health. While you sleep the skin repairs and renews itself like the rest of your body. Try to get adequate slee at night as sleep deprivation results in puffy eyes and skin sagging.
