. #17 says, Look Great, Longer. This involves skincare and aging. Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, Assistant Professor at Oregon Health and Science University listed 4 ways to smooth out your skin.
WATCH YOUR WORKOUTS
It’s common knowledge, when you exercise, you sweat. Therefore exposing your skin to salt water which in turn breaks down the skin’s defense which will then allow ultraviolet light and pollutants reaching your skin cells. To eliminate 80% of UVB penetration, try working out indoors. If you prefer outdoors, try doing it before 10am or after 4pm.
CHECK THE BACK OF THE BOTTLE
Prescribed cortisones and many moisturizers and cleansers as well contain an ingredient called Propylene glycol. This particular ingredient can irritate the skin which also causes inflammation. So check the labels.
SAY NO TO PROCESSED FOODS
If your diet intake is high in white flour and sugar which both create so-called glycation reactions between molecules in the skin. This reaction binds collage and lessens elasticity hence the skin being susceptible to fracture.
SIMMER DOWN
Histamines is a compound released by having emotional stress which causes inflammation and also disrupts the matrix of skin cells. So calm down, and in order to do that, make your wife happy all the time coz a Happy Wife is a happy household and a happy life is a happy husband. That’s how the cycle of life goes
