9. YOU’RE VITAMIN DEFICIENT
The largest organ in your body is your skin but it’s also the organ that doesn’t get enough vitamins. So, when you are vitamin deficient, it will easily show on your face as wrinkles, rough patches, dark spots, redness, and dryness.
The four essential vitamins that your body requires daily are vitamin D (600 IU), vitamin C (1,000 mg), vitamin E (15 mg), and vitamin K (90 to 120 mg). You can gain these vitamins from eating foods like:
- Tuna, salmon, codfish, breakfast cereals, yogurt – rich in Vitamin D
- Citrus fruits and plant-based sources like broccoli and spinach – which contain Vitamin C
- Almond nuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds – good sources for Vitamin E
- Green and leafy vegetables like lettuce, kale, cabbage, and spinach – rich in Vitamin K
You may also take vitamin supplements if natural food sources aren’t enough. Talk to your doctor or a dermatologist for any recommendations.
10. YOU GENERALLY HAVE AN UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Wrinkles are not just signs of aging; they are also a reflection on your lifestyle. If you’ve been abusing your body, the effects will instantly show on your face. Poor and unhealthy lifestyle choices may include:
- Too much indulgence in high-calorie and fatty foods
- Too much sugar and salt in your diet
- Drinking alcohol
- Smoking
- Not getting enough sleep and rest
- Not exercising
- Disregarding sun protection
- Not engaging in positive thoughts
- Not getting a regular check-up with your doctor, especially if you’re over 40
Reassess your lifestyle and try to make some changes for the sake of your health. It should concern you if you notice that your face doesn’t have that youthful glow.
