3. Sleeping on Your Stomach
Besides being bad for your back, sleeping on your stomach with your face on the pillow can cause skin to be smushed for hours on end. Young skin bounces back easily, but as skin gradually becomes less adaptable and elastic, the grooves and impressions left by the pillow can turn into permanent lines and wrinkles.
4. Not Eating Enough Fat
While no one would suggest that Ding Dongs and Twinkies will help you eat your way to good skin, it’s important to have some fat in your diet, along with the requisite healthy fruits and vegetables. There’s a thin layer of subcutaneous fat underneath our skin all over the body, and this layer provides shape and contour to the facial skin, a contour that’s closely associated with youth. A lifetime of extreme fat restriction can deplete this layer, leaving the skin on top to droop and sag. Our body naturally loses this fat layer as we age, and helping it along by restricting our dietary-fat intake only speeds up the process.
5. Cleansing Too Vigorously
It is possible to have too much of a good thing. While it’s important to cleanse skin every day, it’s just as important to do the cleansing gently. Rubbing too vigorously can tear the connective tissue that supports the skin, eventually causing sagging. Using water that’s too hot can actually cause the sebum on our skin to liquefy and rinse away, leaving it dry and brittle. Harsh soap-based cleansers can have the same effect.
6. Yo-Yo Dieting
Repeatedly gaining and losing weight over the course of several years forces skin to constantly stretch or shrink. Eventually, the elastic structure of the skin becomes damaged, and it just can’t spring back like it used to. Especially when skin naturally starts to lose its collagen, yo-yo dieting accelerates the aging process, making skin look slack, uneven, and loose.
