Proper sun protection is the single most important way to slow the effects of aging. Hopefully you are in the habit of packing sunscreen for a day at the beach or pool when you expect to get direct sun exposure for hours at a time. With that being said, it is just as important to use sunscreen on a daily basis everyday exposure counts; you do not have to be actively sunbathing to get a damaging dose of the sun. The sun is out 365 days a year and you need protection from it each day to reduce your lifetime sun-exposure total. If you are not already aware, there is no such thing as a “healthy tan”. A tan is the skin’s response to the sun’s damaging rays. Here’s a simple tip to determine the right amount of sunscreen to apply on your face: fill the hollow part of your palm the amount will be around ½ teaspoon, enough to properly coat your face, ears, and neck.

Foods rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids can help to stop blotchiness, inflammation, and the development of wrinkles. Try to eat almonds or walnuts every morning. A cup of green tea or two is always a great way to start your skin off right in the morning. Stress levels and a proper diet are closely related. Unfortunately, it’s when we have the most work that we forget to eat well and resort to using sugary, fatty snack foods as a pick-me-up. Try to avoid the vending machine and plan ahead. Fruits and vegetables are always good, and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of stress. A tuna sandwich really is brain food.
High stress levels spike the production of hormones that spur acne and psoriasis breakouts. Taking a daily 10 minute “timeout” can do wonders for your skin. Even better: apply a facial mask, such as

High sodium intake can lead to facial puffiness. One of the biggest unnoticed contributors of daily sodium is diet soft drinks, which usually contain between 25 to 50 milligrams of sodium per 12 ounce serving. Cut the soda and switch to water instead. Find water boring, add some flavor such as fresh lemon or cucumber slices. Both are rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C, but also act as diuretics to get those nasty toxins out of the body to help give you that nice glow to your skin.
Let’s face it, we all love sugary sweets but the key here is balance and not having them in excess! The body’s natural process of breaking down sugar also damages the skin’s collagen. Limiting high-glycemic carbs can do wonders for your skin (and waistline). At blame is a natural process that’s known as glycation, in which the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to proteins to form harmful new molecules called advanced glycation end products (or, appropriately, AGEs for short).Most vulnerable to damage: collagen and elastin, the protein fibers that keep skin firm and elastic. In fact, collagen is the most prevalent protein in the body. Once damaged, springy and resilient collagen and elastin become dry and brittle, leading to 
Being in close proximity to a space heater or fireplace can induce redness, breakdown collagen and further increase dryness during the Fall/Winter months.

Regularly sucking from a straw or drinking from a water bottle creates lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Especially in your 30’s as our collagen starts to break down and can’t erase those lines as easily. Instead drink from a glass or use a cup with a spout that will allow you to squirt water into your mouth. Always remember to put your skincare products on your upper lip to help fight those fine lines and wrinkles.That’s why she recommends giving your skin a steady flow of water: Every day, aim for eight to 10 eight-ounce servings, and spread them out throughout the day as opposed to guzzling them all at once.That may be because water plumps up the skin, causing wrinkles and pores to, more or less, get filled in. What’s more, a variety of structures in the skin that support collagen require water to work effectively your skin is 64 percent water,
