## Sunscreen, Moisturizers, and Healthy Habits: The Keys to Youthful Skin
Forgetting Sunscreen
Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen all year round. While UVB rays decrease in intensity during colder months, UVA rays remain potent even in cool, cloudy weather. The impact of UVA rays can damage DNA and accelerate aging.

Dermatologists recommend sunscreen application throughout all four seasons.
Not Switching Up Your Skincare Routine
Skincare products should be seasonal. In winter, dry air calls for moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in hydration and prevent dry, dehydrated skin. Sticking to your summer skincare routine can leave your skin thirsty and accelerate aging.
Skipping Makeup Removal
Sleeping in your makeup is a big no-no. While we sleep, our skin regenerates and repairs itself. However, makeup can clog pores and hinder this process, especially oil-based primers and foundations. Always cleanse with a gentle face wash or micellar water before bed. If you’re feeling lazy, keep some cleansing wipes handy for a quick fix.

Remember to cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser or micellar water before bedtime.
Not Drinking Enough Water
Water is essential for nourishing our cells and supporting metabolic processes. Dehydration leads to fatigue and dry skin.
Not Using Suitable Products
Failing to provide necessary hydration or using unsuitable products won’t do your skin any favors and may even worsen its condition. Be wary of untraceable cosmetics (mixed creams, whitening creams, etc.) to avoid negative skin reactions.
To maintain healthy skin, establish a personalized skincare routine. Depending on your skin’s needs, incorporate anti-aging and hydrating ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, peptides, and hyaluronic acid (HA).
Unhealthy Diet
A diet high in sugar or refined carbohydrates can lead to premature aging. Excess sugar intake from sweets, sodas, etc., contributes to acne and hinders collagen and elastin production. The result is sagging skin, wrinkles, and accelerated aging.
Additionally, limit your consumption of fast food, fried dishes, and processed meats. These foods tend to be high in salt and saturated fat, leading to dehydration and inflammatory responses that weaken collagen.
