These everyday gestures that make you age

To grow old is to have the chance to live.
This is Exertier's pro-age philosophy . Aging should not be seen as something serious and inevitable , but as an opportunity to be seized at all costs. The chance to discover , live new experiences and quite simply, enjoy .

But getting older is one thing, damaging your skin by causing premature skin aging is another.

Here are some everyday actions that are not your allies in maintaining the quality of your skin.

To smoke

It is well known that smoking is neither good for your health nor for the skin .
Indeed, each cigarette smoked produces free radicals , which will directly attack the cells of the skin and cause effects on the whole: drying of the eye contours, grayish complexion , appearance of wrinkles and dark circles , yellowing of the teeth as well as thickening of the skin .

The best thing is obviously not to smoke. However, we know as well as you that it is an addiction , so we encourage you to turn to health professionals to help you.

To protect your skin, choose a moisturizer with a shielding and protective effect .
Huile des Cimes is a dry oil , which therefore does not leave a greasy finish , and which protects the skin from free radicals and pollution while bringing radiance to your skin.

Drink through a straw

A practice that is a little less known this time is drinking through a straw.
In fact, the sucking action around the straw and the pursing of the lips around it causes small fine lines all around the mouth over time and also an overall shrinkage of the mouth muscle.

By drinking through a straw on a daily basis, the muscles repeatedly undergo the lip-pursing motion, breaking down collagen and causing permanent lines and wrinkles .

Make pulled hairstyles

Indeed, hair thins over time, this fact is well known but one of the things that can promote this process are pulled hairstyles .

Chronic pulling on the hair can lead to inflammation of the roots or even destruction of some, causing hair loss and loss of thickness of the hair mass.

So let your hair breathe and go for rather loose hairstyles and above all don't keep your hair pulled into an elastic band to sleep, which will cause breakage and also hair loss.

Forgetting certain essentials in your routine

Finally, certain omissions in your beauty routine can also accelerate the appearance of certain signs of aging .

Not applying sunscreen regularly leads to the premature appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Not applying eye contour or lip contour causes drying of these areas , a reduction in collagen production and therefore the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles .

Finally, the last gesture that can lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is the use of a gua sha without the prior application of an oil . The massage could then create folds which eventually become permanent wrinkles and fine lines . This creation of fine lines and wrinkles is prevented when an oil is used since the gua sha glides over the skin instead of pulling it by gripping it.

To avoid all these consequences, avoid these actions as much as possible and turn to cosmetic products enriched with hyaluronic acid , pro-collagen and natural ingredients promoting skin radiance .

But above all, keep in mind that the most important thing: to enjoy!
