Although a warm bath seems like the perfect recipe for relaxation after a busy day, hot water is actually harmful to the skin. Hot water can cause the skin to lose moisture, leading to dry skin. Showering with warm or lukewarm water is recommended, as it preserves the skin's natural oils, which are necessary for supple skin.
2. Rubbing the eyes
If we want to prevent the formation of wrinkles around the eyes, we must avoid rubbing the eyes. Rough rubbing of the eyes can cause premature stretching of the skin and increase the breakdown of collagen. It is recommended to use gentle serums that stimulate the production of collagen, instead of rough rubbing of the skin.
3. Excessive cleaning
Cleansing your face is important, but over-cleansing is not recommended. Cleaning your face too often can reduce the skin's natural sebum secretion, leading to dry skin and accelerating the aging process. Cleansing your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water maintains the skin's natural balance.

Sunglasses are more than a fashion accessory; they protect our eyes from harmful UV rays. If we don't wear sunglasses, our eyes are exposed to the sun, which can cause wrinkles, age spots and loss of skin elasticity.
5. Sleeping on your side
Your favorite sleeping position can affect your skin. Sleeping on your side, with your face pressed against the pillow, can contribute to sagging skin. This pressure can eventually cause wrinkles on the face. Try to learn to sleep on your back and use silk or satin pillowcases to reduce skin friction.
