Women seek products that make them look younger, from creams to treatments and more. An expert named Nadia (48 years old) shared on TikTok the essential things we should all avoid if we want our skin to remain healthy and maintain its youthful glow. She advises against smoking, explaining, "Smoking increases collagen breakdown by 40 percent compared to average." Collagen helps enhance elasticity and keeps the skin hydrated, making it essential for youthful-looking skin.
She also stated that consuming a diet high in sugar is not good for your skin: "You need to reduce sugar because it increases glucose, which hardens around collagen and elastin, leading to the breakdown of the skin's structural foundation."
Nadia emphasized the need to avoid prolonged sun exposure, stating, "It causes DNA damage and collagen breakdown. Alcohol depletes the body of essential nutrients and causes inflammation, which is not good for our skin." Finally, Nadia pointed out that chronic stress can accelerate aging due to cortisol, which speeds up the aging process, according to the British newspaper "Mirror."
