The pursuit of youthful, glowing skin is a universal aspiration, transcending age, culture, and geography. It’s a reflection of health,…
As people age, the body goes through a number of changes. For example, cells turnover at a diminished rate, as we grow older. Every 28 days, the skin naturally sheds dead cells and replaces them with younger cells. But as the body matures, this renewal process slows down, and new cells begin to regenerate less often. These circumstances allow old, dead skin to remain on the skin for a longer period of time. Once individuals reach the age of 40, the body’s collagen production begins to dwindle, which engenders lines, dullness, and wrinkles. Moreover, decades of exposure to taxing environmental factors like pollution, harsh weather conditions, and prolonged sun exposure is detrimental to one’s skin. While delaying the aging process is an impossible feat, small lifestyle adjustments can make a big difference when it comes to preserving and improving the look and feel of skin. Dermatologists provide 10 easy ways to erase signs of aging and help forge radiant, healthy, youthful skin.
Perhaps Louis Armstrong sang it best in the song “When You’re Smiling”
When you’re smilin’, when you’re smilin’,
The whole world smiles with you.
When you’re laughin’, when you’re laughin,’
The sun comes shinin’ through.
It’s hard not to smile back when a friend, or even a total stranger, flashes you a smile on the street.
That’s because smiling is infectious.
And today’s daily health tip is that smiling is good for your health! Well fancy that.
