When you’re applying eye cream, dab it on from the outer corners of your eyes inward. According to dermatologist Leslie Baumann, that’s the direction your lymph fluids flow, so it encourages the fluids to keep moving and decreases puffiness.

Drying your nails under a UV light, or using an aerosol drying spray? Dermatologist Dr. Lindsay Shipp says: Go for the spray. Light-assisted drying can expose your hands to UV light for 10 minutes at a time – which can eventually lead to wrinkling, brown spots and even skin cancer. With the quick-dry spray, you may breathe in some chemicals, but the liquid only stays on your skin for 10 seconds before evaporating. Which makes the spray a much safer alternative.

Slather sunscreen on your neck every day – even when it’s cloudy! That’s because the skin on the front of the neck is thinner than the skin on the face – so it’s more easily damaged by the sun. And a wrinkly neck is one area that’s hard to treat with plastic surgery! But according to dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, women who wear sunscreen on a regular basis have 24% fewer signs of aging on their neck.

The best sleep position for preventing wrinkles is on your back. Not only will you avoid wrinkles caused by pressure and pillow-friction……Your face won’t come in contact with all the dirt and oil on your pillowcase – or the grease from your hair – so you’ll be less likely to break out.

Because the sun accounts for 80% of all skin aging. And the older we get, the more damaging UV rays become. Sun damage is what causes brown spots, yellowing, reduced skin elasticity and sagging. And just a 2% increase in skin damage ages a face by three years. If that’s not enough incentive to wear sunscreen, there’s the threat of skin cancer, too. So, slather on sunscreen every day.

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.

One of the easiest ways to stay looking as young as possible is this: Avoid wrinkle-causing behaviors. For example:
Stop sleeping on your side. Squashing your skin against a pillow for 8 hours a night causes wrinkles on your cheeks, chin and chest. So, minimize any wrinkle formations by sleeping on your back. Or use a silk pillowcase. That way, if you do end up on your side – the material will slide across your skin instead of pulling on it.
Then, your morning commute could be prematurely aging you. Studies show that some of the sun’s most damaging rays can shine through your car windows – and your hands, forearms and face get the brunt of it. So, apply sunblock all over before you hop in the car.
And NOT wearing sunglasses can put you on the fast track to crow’s feet. That’s because squinting at the sun overworks the muscles that control facial expression around your eyes. So, wear glasses whenever you’re outside.
