What can I do to be less stressed?
The best way to fix your skin if you’re stressed is to go directly to the source of the problem instead of attacking the symptoms with creams and lotions.
Skin experts recommend relieving stress with mindfulness and meditation and a diet rich in antioxidants.
They also recommend getting enough, good quality sleep.
Drinking plenty of water and focusing on gut health will also help clear up your complexion.
What will stop the signs of aging?
Dr. Barrett advised against smoking and following a high-sugar diet if you want to slow the aging process.
“Eliminate sugar to protect your skin,” she said.
He also recommended everyone use sunscreen every day, even in winter, and get enough exercise each week.
How will sleeping more help me look younger?
Getting enough sleep stimulates muscle growth and repair, helps keep the brain alert, improves blood sugar levels, and prolongs life expectancy.
It is recommended to sleep seven to nine hours each night and maintain a good circadian rhythm.
You should try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
A reliable routine and time outdoors in daylight in the morning help regulate your body’s internal clock.
