Eating too much sugar causes glycation, a process that occurs when your body has an excessive amount of sugar. This affects the normal function of your cells as the excess sugar molecules join together with protein molecules to create products that are foreign to your body, also known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Theses AGEs affect collagen and elastin, causing them to break down. As a result, wrinkles and lines form on your face. The bottom line: It\u2019s best to skip the refined sugar whenever possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>Turning up the Central Heat and Air can cause drying out of the skin. \u00a0Moisture keeps our skin taut and hydration is extremely important. \u00a0When the heat or air conditioner is constantly going, it can suck the hydration from the skin. \u00a0Keep your skin moisturized, and also using a humidifier in your bedroom as you sleep can help keep wrinkles at bay! \u00a0And let&#8217;s not forget internal hydration. \u00a0Drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily will ensure you are getting the proper hydration necessary to prevent dehydration, which can cause illness. \u00a0Nobody looks refreshed when they are sick ; )<\/li>\n<li>Chewing gum daily can cause a breakdown of collagen in the skin and cause wrinkles to be formed around the mouth and cheeks, due to the excessive action of using those muscles. \u00a0Need fresh breath? \u00a0Keep some mouthwash with you and swish swish when you feel the need. \u00a0Less muscles used, and probably better for your teeth as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, anything in the above list that you&#8217;re guilty of? \u00a0I hope this helps you out, and if you would like help reversing some of these wrinkles that have been formed, see your esthetician ASAP and begin to eliminate these daily practices, use great skincare products regularly, and be kind to your skin. \u00a0You only get one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yours In Beauty,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth Jennings<\/p>\n<p>Carolina Eye Candy Beauty &amp; Relaxation Lounge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; You may not know it, but a lot of the aging of the skin is caused my sun damage and smoking, but there are also some daily habits than can cause premature skin aging. \u00a0Wrinkles do not have to be a necessity! \u00a0Actually, keeping them at bay should be. \u00a0So let&#8217;s get into the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[58,57,61],"tags":[63,64],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beauty","category-blog","category-skincare-aging","tag-skincare","tag-wrinkles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9451,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions\/9451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carolinaeyecandy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
