And the best thing? Some of these tips you can put into practice right now.

Don’t eat late at night

Getting sufficient rest allows the skin to replenish itself at night, so adequate sleep means bright, fresh-looking skin. When we sleep, our skin has its own circadian rhythm, where it performs certain functions at certain times throughout the night.

If you do not get a whole night’s sleep, you may well be missing out on the opportunity for your skin to renew and repair itself. Inadequate sleep has the same effect on the body and hormone levels as stress.

Dehydrated skin can look older than its years, so everything you can do to help keep your skin well hydrated is vital. In the winter months, dry air pulls the moisture from your skin.

Central heating and harsh, unforgiving winds take a toll on your skin’s hydration levels during the winter, and in the summer months, moisture loss can be attributed to air conditioning.

Using a humidifier will add moisture to the air and help maintain moisture levels in your skin.
