As much as I love and support the idea of helping your body stay young from within…

Skin is a totally different beast.

Because skin gets affected both from the inside and outside.

This means even if you take collagen, vitamin D, and eat fish twice a week...

If you don’t take care of the outside forces that influence your skin…

All your efforts to achieve youthful skin will go to waste.

So today I wanted to share 5 tips to protect your skin from early ageing.

#1. Double down on sunscreen.

Sun is a double-sided coin.

On one hand, we need it to get vitamin D and balance our mood.

But overdo it, and you might end up with skin cancer.

Plus, UV rays also damage the skin and make it look old and leathery. 

So the best thing to do is to supplement with vitamin D and use sunscreen to avoid any unpleasant surprises the next time you see your doctor.

#2. Use a silk pillowcase.

If you really care about your skin staying wrinkle-free, consider changing your pillowcase.

It sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Unlike other materials used in pillowcases, silk actually allows your skin to breathe and retain its natural moisture.

Which reduces your chances of developing wrinkles while you sleep.

#3. Get a humidifier.

Does your skin get dry no matter how much moisturiser you use?

If so, it’s a sign you need a humidifier.

Especially in the winter when the heating is on.

Because dry air sucks out the natural moisture out of your skin.

But a humidifier adds more vapour to the air.

This means your skin will maintain its natural moisture and will even soak some of what’s in the air.

Leaving your skin perkier, healthier and smoother.

#4. Eat tofu

If you’ve never tried eating this protein-packed plant-based meat, you might want to give it a try.

A recent study showed eating tofu twice a week helps erase wrinkles, adds firmness to the skin and improves overall appearance.

#5. Avoid looking down all the time.

Whether you look down while you walk, or you’re always checking your phone…

Keeping your head down all the time not only messes up with your neck muscles - but it affects your skin negatively.

Over time, this position will cause creases and rings to pop up…

Making your neck filled with fine lines and wrinkles.

To avoid this, try to keep your head up.

When you add these simple tweaks to your skin routine, I can guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.
