However, we might unwittingly have picked up harmful habits that actually promote premature skin aging. Let\u2019s take a look at some common habits that can make us look older than we are. Here are a few samples.<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Premature Aging Of Skin?<\/h2>\r\n<p>Aging is a natural process and your body will start showing aging signs after you reach 30 years of age. Aging happens due to the slowing down of our cell turnover process, collagen breakdown, over-exposure to ultraviolet light, oxidation, inflammation, and glycation. The primary reason for premature ageing is damage to our DNA due to the shortening of telomeres. Telemores are protective end caps to keep the DNA safe. When they shorten the DNA is left exposed to wear and damage. Aging is a fallout of this process.<\/p>\r\n<p>For some, this biological aging starts earlier than expected which is termed premature aging. We normally relate to aging through visible skin issues but our body ages internally as well. Premature aging of the skin can manifest as loss of skin elasticity, dry and itchy skin, sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Other visible signs include hair loss, greying of hair and sunken cheeks and temples. Some people might also experience hyperpigmentation around their chest area.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Factors And Causes That Lead To Premature Aging Of Skin<\/h2>\r\n<p>Ayurveda advocates following a comprehensive beneficial routine for preserving youthful vigor and combating aging. This routine addresses aspects like lifestyle, dietary, psychological, and behavioral aspects to restore balance at the level of the mind, body, and emotions.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Rao, R.

Let\u2019s take a look at a few aspects of our daily routine that cause premature aging of skin:<\/p>\r\n<h3>1. Excessive Sun Exposure<\/h3>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is one of the most significant factors that contribute to the premature aging of your skin. Exposure to UV light causes your skin\u2019s connective tissue (elastin and collagen) to break down. As this supportive connective tissue degrades your skin loses flexibility and strength and takes diminishes your skin glow. It begins to develop wrinkles and sag prematurely.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">[Wrinkles](<span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/wrinkles\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354927<\/span> \u201cWrinkles\u201d).Mayo Clinic.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_2').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_2', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>To prevent the sun from damaging your skin, always use a sunscreen with a sun protective factor (SPF) of at least 15 that offers both UVB and UVA protection. Also, try to limit exposure to the sun when it\u2019s most intense. You can also wear clothes that cover your arms and legs and use a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself. Many people seek sun exposure because our bodies can produce vitamin D in the presence of sunlight. However, experts suggest that we need very little time in the sun to do this \u2013 about 10 to 15 minutes a day in the sun is thought to be enough.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_3');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_3');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_3\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[3]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_3\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">[Sun and Skin]( <span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2014\/07\/sun-skin<\/span> \u201cSun and Skin\u201d).National Institutes of Health.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_3').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_3', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\r\n<h3>2. Overusing Skin Care Products<\/h3>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>If you use too many skin care products you could end up irritating your skin and fading your skin glow. This holds particularly true for anti-aging products. Use more than one, and you could end up with irritated skin, and this tends to make the signs of aging more visible.<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>Opt for a simple skincare routine that suits your skin. For most people, this consists of<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Cleansing<\/strong>: Wash your face and neck once a day if you have dry skin and twice daily if you don\u2019t. It\u2019s a good idea to wash your face after you get up and before going to bed. Remember to use a gentle cleanser as harsh soaps can strip your skin of its protective oils and skin glow.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Moisturizing<\/strong>: After washing, use a moisturizing lotion or cream. You can skip this step if you wish, in case you have oily skin. You\u2019ll need a thicker moisturizer (ie, the moisturizer should not drip down when you turn the bottle upside down) during winter when skin tends to dry out more. Apply a moisturizer to your whole body after you bathe when your skin is still damp to seal the moisture in and help your skin glow.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Applying sunscreen<\/strong>: Apply sunscreen to your face and neck taking care to cover your ears and the area around your eyes.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_4');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_4');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_4\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[4]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_4\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">[About face](<span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/about-face<\/span> \u201cAbout face\u201d).Harvard Health Publishing.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_4').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_4', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>If you are using any treatment or other medicine on your skin, do it right after you cleanse your skin.

This hormone can degrade collagen, the protein which gives firmness and structure to skin and lead to the development of wrinkles.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_16');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_16');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_16\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[16]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_16\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Chen, Ying, and John Lyga. &#8220;Brain-skin connection: stress, inflammation and skin aging.&#8221; Inflammation &amp; Allergy-Drug Targets (Formerly Current Drug Targets-Inflammation &amp;&nbsp;&#x2026; <span class=\"footnote_tooltip_continue\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_16');\">Continue reading<\/span><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_16').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_16', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script> <span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_17');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_17');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_17\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[17]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_17\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">[Wrinkles](<span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/articles\/10984-wrinkles<\/span> \u201cWrinkles\u201d).Cleveland Clinic.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_17').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_17', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Adopt strategies to ward off stress and keep your skin looking young:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Meditation, breathing exercises and yoga can help relieve stress.<\/li>\r\n<li>Adopting healthy habits like eating a healthy diet, getting sufficient sleep, and exercising regularly can be helpful in handling stress.<\/li>\r\n<li>Staying positive, practising gratitude, and staying connected to people who offer emotional support and help you stay calm can be helpful.

People with<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Vata constitution<\/strong>: Have fine, dry skin with small pores which tends to be cool to the touch and delicate. They tend to develop wrinkles earlier than other constitutions.<br \/>For vata skin to stay youthful, skin care products which can rehydrate and nourish the skin should be used. Natural moisturizers and warm oil self-massage can be beneficial for them.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Pitta constitution<\/strong>: Have soft, warm, fair skin of medium thickness. Their skin tends to have a very low tolerance for the sun and they\u2019re most likely to suffer from sun damage over the years.<br \/>For pitta skin, good sunscreens that offer protection from the sun, as well as facial skin oils, need to be used. Tanning treatments or therapies which expose their skin to steam or heat for extended periods of time should be avoided.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Kapha constitution<\/strong>: Have oily, thick, soft skin which is cool to the touch. They naturally tend to develop wrinkles much later than people with pitta or vata constitutions. However, due to its oiliness and thickness kapha skin is more prone to accumulate toxins (ama) under the skin.<br \/>For kapha skin, using a gentle exfoliant to cleanse the skin and a daily warm oil massage can be beneficial.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_19');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2022_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2022_1_19');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_19\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[19]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_19\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Datta, Hema Sharma, and Rangesh Paramesh. &#8220;Trends in aging and skin care: Ayurvedic concepts.&#8221; Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine 1, no. 2 (2010): 110.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_2022_1_19').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2022_1_19', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ayurvedic Remedies For Skin Issues<\/h2>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>Ayurveda offers many techniques for keeping your skin healthy:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Try a daily massage<\/h4>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Powder massage (udwarthana)<\/strong><br \/>During udwarthana, medicated powders are used to massage the skin in an upward direction. It is considered to be a part of a daily healthy regimen (dinacharya). A powder massage is thought to help improve blood circulation, improve skin quality, enhance the complexion, and remove dead cells and dirt from the skin.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Oil Massage (abhyanga)<\/strong><br \/>Ayurveda also recommends incorporating an oil massage into the daily routine. It is thought to nourish your muscles and improve your eyesight, complexion, and life expectancy. Oil massages are considered to have anti-aging, stress-relieving, and rejuvenating effects. Kumkumadi taila (an ayurvedic medicinal facial oil) is considered to be particularly useful for facial massages. It is thought to improve skin texture and complexion.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use varnya lepas (complexion enhancing pastes)<\/h4>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>Varnya lepas are used in ayurveda for improving the quality of the skin and enhancing the complexion. For instance, you can prepare a rakta chandanadi lepa by mixing the following ingredients in equal quantities and adding water or milk to make a paste:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Raktachandana (pterocarpus santalinus)<\/li>\r\n<li>Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia)<\/li>\r\n<li>Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa)<\/li>\r\n<li>Kushta (Saussurea costus)<\/li>\r\n<li>Priyangu (Callicarpa macrophylla)<\/li>\r\n<li>Vata (Ficus bengalensis)<\/li>\r\n<li>Masura (Lens culinaris)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The lepa should be applied at a thickness of 1 cm (1\/2 angula) and should be removed from the skin once it dries (15-20mins). Lepas are meant to be applied against the direction of hair growth for better absorption. A rakta chandanadi lepa is thought to be useful in improving the complexion and removing dark spots and pimples.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\r\n<p>Skin aging is almost irreversible. You can prevent or slow down the process by leading a healthy lifestyle and choosing products (diet, skincare) that nourish your health. Choosing natural products and therapies like ayurveda can help improve skin tone and reverse visible skin aging. Also, ensure that you talk to your doctor regarding skin spots and other visible issues to rule out symptoms of other medical problems like skin cancer. Eat a wholesome diet, use natural protective sunscreen, hydrate and give your body much-needed rest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\r\n<h4>Q1. What causes skin to age prematurely?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Premature aging of the skin is caused due to excessive sun exposure, overuse of chemicals in cosmetic products, eating an unhealthy diet high in carbs, refined sugars and unhealthy fats, poor hydration, lack of proper sleep, abrasive daily skincare routines, and not managing your stress factors.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Q2. What habits can make you look older?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Not protecting your skin from exposure to the sun&#8217;s UV radiation causes collagen breakdown leading to saggy, dry, non-elastic skin. A diet high in unhealthy fats, refined sugars and other carbohydrates can promote skin aging. Dehydration, lack of sleep and inadequate exercise all lead to biological aging of the body and skin.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Q3. What can you do to prevent premature aging?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Avoid excessive and harsh sun exposure and use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 that offers both UVB and UVA protection. Eat a diet rich in anti aging foods like vegetables and fruits, low-fat dairy products, seeds, beans, nuts, and whole-grain bread. Hydrate regularly, do not neglect sleep and manage your stress through meditation and yoga to maintain youthful skin glow.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Q4. What factors can quicken premature aging?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Not covering your skin with sunscreen or adequate clothing in harsh sunlight leads to the breakdown of the skin&#8217;s connective tissue &#8211; collagen, which adversely affects skin glow and elasticity. Eating a diet rich in unhealthy fats, refined sugars and empty carbohydrates adds years to your skin age. Other factors include dehydration, lack of sleep and inadequate activity.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Q5. What habits should you avoid to delay premature aging?<\/h4>\r\n<p>Not covering your skin with sunscreen or adequate clothing in harsh sunlight leads to the breakdown of the skin&#8217;s connective tissue &#8211; collagen, which adversely affects skin glow and elasticity. Eating a diet rich in unhealthy fats, refined sugars and empty carbohydrates adds years to your skin age. Other factors include dehydration, lack of sleep and inadequate activity.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\r\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\r\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n    \"name\": \"What causes skin to age prematurely?\",\r\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n      \"text\": \"Premature aging of the skin is caused due to excessive sun exposure, overuse of chemicals in cosmetic products, eating an unhealthy diet high in carbs, refined sugars and unhealthy fats, poor hydration, lack of proper sleep, abrasive daily skincare routines, and not managing your stress factors.\"\r\n    }\r\n  },{\r\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n    \"name\": \"What habits can make you look older?\",\r\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n      \"text\": \"Not protecting your skin from exposure to the sun's UV radiation causes collagen breakdown leading to saggy, dry, non-elastic skin.
