2 Diploma in Personal Beauty Lesson 4 - The Role of Lifestyle in Premature Aging Top five factors for premature ageing 1. Lifestyle & Premature Aging how we live our lives plays a major role in the speed at which our collagen and elastin fibres break down leading to premature aging. The effects of UV rays and importance of SPF outlined in detail on Lesson 2 2. Smoking Effects on the skin vitamin C has been clinically proven to regenerate collagen in the skin and improve the appearance of wrinkle. Smoking depletes vitamin C by breaking it down quicker in the system, which means that you are excreting it much quicker that a none smoker will have a knock on effect on your immune system as well. Smoking restricts your blood vessels which will affect circulation and deprive your skin on the much needed nutrients and oxygen. This lack of circulations and oxygen and nutrient supply our skin can start to look yellow or grey with nicotine staining your fingertips yellow or dry. Pursing your lips around a cigarette will encourage wrinkles. Introduces free radicals to the system encouraging free radical damage

3 Reasons to quit Nicotine withdrawal with inhibit your body s ability to sleep peacefully Doesn t just cause flair ups of psoriasis but puts people as risk of developing the skin condition Causes premature aging Stopping will instantly improve circulation meaning improved radiance and healthy teeth and gums as well 3. Diet A diet that is low in protein and good fats but high in sugars is going to have significant loss of elasticity and inflammation Protein Protein is essential in the body as they act as building blocks for muscles, bones, skin and even blood and our bodies need a lot of it to perform at its optimum level. Protein in our diet is broken down in to amino acids and used by the body for growth and repair and because our body can t make these amino acids it s self it is essential that we get it through our diet. Good sources include Eggs, Poultry, Fish, Red meat, Beans and legumes Fat Every cell is surrounded by two layers of fat and this is what makes up the cell wall so these dietary fats are key for the appearance of plump healthy skin. Increase your intake of good fats full of omega-3 and omega-6, these are essential fatty acids including salmon, flax seeds, walnuts, soy, eggs poultry, whole grains, avocado. Sugar Sugar comes in many forms -Fructose, Dextrose, Glucose, Excess sugar in the body causes a process called Glycation which means that the sugar molecules attach to the protein or lips molecules in your system (become cross linked) and impact hugely on the collagen and elastin fibres which we know are responsible for keeping our skin nice and supply and fresh and young looking. This process is going to cause Free Radical Damage, reduce the number of antioxidants in our skin cause our skin to look duller and more yellow. We can slow this down by cutting our refined sugar sweets, white bread, fizzy drinks and increasing the amount of antioxidant rich foods that we are eating.

4 Fight Free Radical Damage With Green or White tea - Applying green tea to your face or drinking has been proven to interfere with the glycation process while stimulating collagen Green tea is said to quench free radicals and reduce inflammation It has antioxidants that boost blood flow and oxygen to the skin which of course delivers nutrients which keeps your complexion healthy With Watermelon & Tomatoes - Watermelon is full of lycopene a powerful antioxidant in red or pink fruit or veg - Eating the seeds too for iron, zinc, protein and fibre and also a high dose of skin boosting Vit C. With Broccoli, Spinach, Kale - Green leafy veg is full of vitamins A, C, E and K vital for skin health and full of antioxidants that will help you achieve that radiant glow - Broccoli is noted as one of the most antioxidant rich profile with a high dose of Vit C & E which reduces stress in the body - Spinach is great for reducing stress in the body and has high amounts of zinc and magnesium needed for healing and energy - Kale has lutein which absorbs free radical damage caused by UV light With Dark Chocolate full of antioxidants as long as the cocoa content is 70% or above, it also contains Flavanols which improves blood flow. Exercise When we exercise our circulation is increased our blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells keeping them healthy. This increase in blood flow is going to have a knock effect on our lymphatic system which will speed up the removal of toxins and carry away waste products to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Exercise will have an impact on our overall wellbeing, improving your self-esteem and energy levels. And sweating will flush your body of toxins that can clog pores. It allows for better sleep patterns, and increase the production of collagen and Human Growth Hormone. 4. Lack of sleep While you sleep there are human growth hormones released (more of which will have been produced during exercise) and these are responsible for the production of skin cells and for collagen synthesis Tips for BetterSleeping

5 Tie your Hair back oils on your face and hair will interact Sleep on your back in a bid to avoid wrinkles Get at least 8hrs sleep Drink a glass of water before bed your skin can get dehydrated during the night Limit blue light exposure before bed put your phones and tablets away so that your eyes aren t strained. 5. Alcohol The most known effect of alcohol on the skin is dehydration but excessive alcohol consumption is also going to lead to enlarged pores, dull and discoloured skin and even broken capillaries. This is only the effects of alcohol on the skin and doesn t begin to indicate the impact of excess consumption on the rest of the body. Alcohol also impact on our sleep patterns so all of these factors can be tied in together and can work in sync.
