12 Reasons Why You Look Old in Your
20s and 30s
Tired of getting look older than you are? Do people constantly guess you’re at least five years above your actual age? This can be a frustrating and self-esteem dropping situation to experience in life. However, there are reasons that this is occurring, and it may not just be genetics.
Your physical appearance heavily depends on your genetics, diet, skin care routine, sleep schedule, hydration, stress, and your weight. All of these factors, alone and combined, will play a huge role in the way you are perceived by other people. In order to look your age, you need to be sure the following 12 factors are all being addressed.
Not enough cleansingYour skin requires daily cleansing and at least 2x weekly exfoliating in order to encourage cell turnover,
reduce blemishes, and produce the oils needed to maintain healthy, young, elastic, glowing skin.
Skipping the moisturizer
Whether the sun is out or not, you should be wearing at least a
light sunscreen every single day. Sun damage leads to dry
skin, sunspots, a reduction in skin elasticity, and even acne.
All of which can make you appear older than you are.
Moisturizer is often overlooked, particularly by people with
oily skin. However, moisturizer is what provides your skin with
the vitamins and minerals it needs to be healthy, soft, and
glowy! You should moisturize your skin 2x daily with a light
daytime moisturizer and heavier night cream.
No sunscreen
Makeup blundersWhen applying makeup, be sure you are using products that
are safe for your skin and match your skin tone. A simple
makeup mistake can age you.
Tiredness can lead to sagging skin under your
eyes, chin, and along your cheeks. It can also
lead to dark circles under your eyes that alter
your physical appearance.
Not getting enough sleep
Oddly enough, food can make you appear older than you are.
Try to reduce your alcohol and caffeine consumption as
these foods/drinks are dehydrating, which leads to sagging
skin and a loss in elasticity.
Ageing foods
Puffing and smoking
Alcohol leads to dry skin, which can make you look a decade
older than you are.
Smoking itself leads to the ingestion of harsh chemicals that
the body does not know what to do with. These chemicals
often lead to aging skin. The act of smoking also results in
wrinkles and sagging skin around the mouth, eyes, and
forehead.
Too much alcohol
Not enough waterWater is critical for the hydration of your body and your skin.
Dehydration leads to wrinkles, dry patches, under-eye bags,
and sagging skin.
Weight issuesYour skin requires daily cleansing and at least 2x weekly exfoliating in order to
encourage cell turnover, reduce blemishes, and produce the oils needed to maintain
healthy, young, elastic, glowing skin.
Excess sugar
Unmanaged stress
Sugar causes collagen to lose elasticity, leading to stiff skin commonly found in older
adults.
Stress results in the body attacking itself. A prime way the body does so when stressed is by
attacking the skin cells in the face leading to acne and dry patches. Stress may also lead to
wrinkling of the face as you furrow your brows or scrunch your skin.
