It’s a fact of life and happens to everybody. You can’t stop the clock, but you can sure slow it down. The two main factors that affect the skin’s ageing process are genetics and environmental influences.
There’s not much we can do about processes we’re born with (yes, what your momma gave ya), but you can make changes in your lifestyle habits that can help keep our skin looking young and healthy. Exercise, stress less, eat a healthy diet and get enough sleep and also use some of these anti-pollution beauty products that are worth the hype.
