5. Avoiding the Sun

Lack of sun makes the skin:

Look pale

Lose firmness

Become more sensitive

Produce more oil

Sunlight in moderate amounts helps balance the skin and improves mood.

How to fix it: Expose yourself to the sun for a few minutes a day gradually and use appropriate sunscreen.

6. Living under constant stress

Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that:

Ages the skin

Increases acne

Dims your gaze

Causes sagging skin

How to reduce it:

Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique:

Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. Repeat several times. Your nervous system will calm down, and your face will reflect it.

7. Neglecting your appearance

It’s not about vanity, but about consistency.

When you neglect:

Hygiene

Posture

Clothing

Diet

Rest

Your body communicates this to the world.

The good news: you don’t need to change who you are, just improve how you express yourself physically.
