Seven skin enemies

The aging process starts from the moment we are born but the first sign are visible at the age at the age of 20. The good news is that 20% of the aging process is the result of the genetic heritage which means that 80% can be controlled by us. The aspect of your skin depends on the manner to take care of it. SUN
The sun exposure is the main cause of aging and it influences this process in a percent of 90. The skin cells (collagen and ellastine), two of the most important proteins which maintain the firmness of the skin, are easily destroyed by the sun. The degree of skin affect depends on its type and of the sun exposure.

SMOKING
Smoke and nicotine destroy the nutritive skin cells, reduce the quantity of oxygen from the body and thicken the blood vases. These things transform the blood circulation in a difficult process. Both causes make the complexion appear as dull. Facial wrinkles can appear at 18 years old teenagers who smoke.

STREESS AND THE ABSENCE OF SLEEP
If you are often stressed or you don't sleep well, the negative effects will also have an impact on your skin. These moments can lead to sensitivity and spots. A good sleep will help you prevent this.

POLUTION
No matter where we live we can't get rid of pollution. The polluted environments are harmful to the skin because they diminish the skin structure and the results are wrinkles and a harsh complexion.

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Did you know that every day we have almost 15000 skin expressions which can affect the complexion? According to some studies, the movement of the facial muscles diminish the complexion fibres which can lead to wrinkles and folds. Don't forget! When you smile you use 14 types of muscles while over 70 are used when you are angry. So, girls, try to smile more often!

GRAVITATION
The gravitation effects can be observed at the age of 50 at the eyes when eyelids lower and also over the lips where wrinkles appear faster.

THE SLEEP POSITION
Each pressure while sleeping can lead to the appearance of "sleep wrinkles". The women who sleep on one part can observe that wrinkles appear on the cheeks and in the chin, while men who sleep on their tummy can observe slim lines on their forehead. In order to avoid these problems you should use the "supine position", which is very healthy and will avoid a fight between your complexion and the pillow.
