4. Skipping Your Annual Eye Exam
That yearly visit to the eye doc is one appointment you shouldn’t put off. Squinting can start causing crows feet and frown lines between your brows. Make sure to get your vision checked regularly, and if you need glasses, wear them!
5. Wearing Contacts
Okay, the problem isn’t so much wearing contact lenses as it is incorrectly putting them in and taking them out. When applying lenses, you typically tug at the thin, sensitive skin around your eyes, which can cause inflammation and, overtime, lead to wrinkling and sagging.
6. Driving
Don’t think that just because you’re in a car you’re safe from the sun’s rays. UVA light, which causes skin aging, penetrates through glass, meaning you’re exposed even in the car. Slather sunscreen all over, focusing especially on your left forearm and hand.
7. Cranking Up the Heat
It may be tempting to dial up the thermostat on chilly winter days, but dry, indoor heat leads to inflamed skin, which over time has aging effects. Turn down the temperature before bed, or invest in a cool-mist humidifier to use overnight. Alternately, placing a glass of water on your bedside table helps keep the air moist.
