Stressed out, sleep-deprived, eating on the run? It all takes a toll on your skin. Here's what you can do to help slow down the clock.
Commit to a daily skin care regimen.
Consistent, customised daily care is your best anti-aging strategy. At Clinique that starts with dermatologist-developed 3-Step Skin Care. Twice-a-day is the recommended routine. Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise to get—and keep—skin radiant, glowing.
Always protect the skin and eyes from the sun.
Sun exposure is harmful to natural collagen. Be vigilant about using a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen daily. And wear a hat and sunglasses to protect skin and eyes when you're in direct sunlight.
Smoking? No way.
Smoking prematurely ages skin by damaging blood vessels and limiting skin's ability to self-repair.
Eat a balanced diet.
A diet rich in fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish and whole grains benefits your skin as well as your overall health. Avoid processed carbohydrates and excess sugars, which have been shown to cause damage to collagen and elastin.
Get your beauty rest—and extra moisture, too.
Sleep time is skin's repair time. Get your 8 hours and you'll notice a difference. Counteract nightly dehydration with a targeted moisturiser, no matter what your skin type.
