Here are the Things to Avoid to Stay Look Young

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - In this article, expert will share on how to stay look young and also feeling young. Here are things to avoid:

Stress

Many people said that the recipe for staying young is to avoid stress, so your heart and mind will always be healthy. There is an old saying that says "A happy heart is a medicine," so when the mind and heart are healthy, the body will also be too.

There is a strong relationship between stress, body health, and skin conditions, as stated in a study published by Inflammation & Allergy Drug Targets. This research has confirmed that when people experience stress, the skin will be the first to respond in various forms, such as acne, eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles will appear.

If the skin problems mentioned above don't get better at all, it could be that the main cause of the skin problem is stress.

Psychiatrist Mohsin Wali told the Hindustan Times that two of the most common skin problems he sees young people face are premature aging and uneven skin tone.

"This is often a direct result of an inability to manage stress," he explained.

He added that if the state of mind and heart are not stress-free, anything that is rubbed on the skin or eaten will not benefit the health of the body, especially the skin. So make sure your state of mind and heart are always stress-free by following this 3 Easy Ways to Release Stress to make you feel younger.

Sunlight

Meanwhile, there are some people who avoid direct sunlight because they think it can damage the skin.

For the climate and weather in Indonesia with hot sun most of the year, the use of umbrellas and hats are not enough to protect the skin from the dangers of ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends wearing sunscreen, not just hats and umbrellas, every day when planning to go outside.

There are two types of sunlight that can damage the skin in different ways. UVB rays are responsible for sunburns, while UVA rays can cause aging and trigger skin cancer.

Based on research published by the Annals of Internal Medicine, sun exposure can dry out and deplete collagen. Collagen is what keeps the skin smooth and firm. When collagen dries up, this sunlight makes blood vessels dilate so that the skin changes color to red, even brown, which we then refer to as burnt.
