Even if you’re inside your house, in Winter, you should still be putting on SPF every day. Your Face can still be exposed to sunlight and UV rays.

UV Rays can cause wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and sagging. But if you use your SPF every day then you can dramatically reduce the impact on your skin and improve the overall health of your skin.

Improve your diet and drink lots of water

Along with eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies, which will add to your health and will help keep your skin looking the best it can.

Cutting back on caffeine and alcohol combined with making sure you get a good night’s sleep after doing your nighttime skincare means you will be waking up looking fresh-faced and ready for the day.

Smoking

Smoking is another cause of less than perfect skin. It can cause a dry and dull complexion, due to damaging your skin’s natural collagen and elastin. Long-time smokers tend to develop more wrinkles and lines on their faces.

Quitting smoking is not only the best thing for your face but also for your long-term health as well. There are also lots of resources to help you give them up.
