Ageing in your 20s? It’s more common than you think. Many lifestyle choices can accelerate visible ageing signs. Tap to check!
CHRONIC STRESS SPEEDS UP AGEING
Stress causes the body to release cortisol, leading to skin thinning and wrinkles. Chronic stress can also dull your complexion, making you look tired and older than your age.
POOR DIET
A diet lacking antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can lead to premature skin ageing. Overconsumption of sugary, processed foods accelerates glycation, which damages collagen and elastin.
SUN EXPOSURE
Excessive sun exposure without protection breaks down collagen, causing sagging skin and wrinkles.
LACK OF SLEEP
Sleep is when your body repairs itself. Insufficient sleep increases the production of stress hormones and reduces collagen production, leading to dark circles, puffiness, and early wrinkles.
DEHYDRATION
When you are dehydrated, your skin loses its elasticity, becoming dry and flaky. Dehydration also makes fine lines and wrinkles more noticeable, making you look older than you are.
STUDY FINDINGS
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) These simple lifestyle adjustments can help you maintain a youthful appearance in your 20s.
Conclusion
Youthful skin starts with healthy choices and consistent self-care. Consult a dermatologist for personalised advice.
