Believe it or not, sipping through a straw is worse. A lot of people do it so they won’t stain their teeth. But dermatologist Carolyn Jacob says, the coffee is going to swirl around your teeth anyway. But the straw can cause lip wrinkles. That’s because repetitive movements, like pursing your mouth, break down collagen – which is what keeps skin firm. So drink from the cup instead – wait 30 minutes for your tooth enamel to re-harden, and then brush or chew sugarless gum to prevent stains.

Keep your chin up! Staring down at our smartphones and tablets for hours every day can create new wrinkles across our neck and throat. The smooth-neck prescription: Hold your phone higher, think chin-level, not chest or waist-level. And apply a collagen-boosting cream every night to help reduce the appearance of lines and creases.

Smartphone squint! We spend 4 hours a day squinting at tiny phone screens, while scrolling through Twitter and Instagram. Which dermatologist Tina Alster says can kick-start – or increase – the formation of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, under the eyes, and between eyebrows. Your best bet: Consciously relax your face while looking at your phone… Use anti-wrinkle cream containing retinol, which helps build collagen… And, if necessary, there’s always Botox.

There’s a compound in raspberries that protects the skin from sun damage. It blocks the enzymes that break down collagen and cause inflammation. So, if you don’t want wrinkles, eat raspberries.
