Think positive about your age: It doesn't matter how old you are. If you look at the mirror every day and think about how much older you're getting, you'll start convincing your body to think likewise. And that won't really do your skin any good will it? So, rather than putting yourself in such difficult situations, stay calm and think positive about your age, health, body and mind.

Yes, there might have been a time when you could probably chug down a pitcher of beer and still not blink an eye. But now that you're growing older, your metabolism will slow down. So, try and control how much alcohol you consume because it can lead to skin discolouration. And don't even get us started on smoking. Not only is it super bad for your health, but it can also be really bad for your teeth and your skin!

It's no secret that the weather outside can make a difference to your skin. If it's too hot your skin will dry oil and if it's too cold your skin will get dull and flaky. All these issues plus exposure to the sun can lead to dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles. So, if you want to avoid such problems, make sure that you use the right sunscreen and moisturise your skin three times a day regardless of the weather outside.

Have you heard of the phrase, 'You are what you eat'? Well, that can turn out to be true in this case. While you can give in to your cravings every once in a while it's best to not indulge in them too much. Start limiting your intake of sugar, fried foods, fizzy drinks and dairy products if you want smooth and clean looking skin. Also, start drinking more water and ensure that you drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

With the way our lives are in this generation, we tend to take too much stress for everything. But this can have some serious adverse effects on your skin. So, take the appropriate precautions when you feel too stressed. Try to keep yourself calm, do some meditation exercises, go for a walk or do anything that helps calm you down. However, do not indulge in smoking or drinking. Try aromatherapy instead, it works wonders.
