4 . Not coping with stress

Stress can have a negative , cumulative effect on the entire body . When left unchecked , the effects of stress often show up in the face in the form of deep worry lines and wrinkles .
Exercise , eating right and getting enough sleep certainly can be healthy ways of coping . But if you live in a constant world of stress , you may want to consider professional help . Working with a counselor allows you to figure out new , effective strategies for better managing what ’ s happening in your life .

5 . Not using an exfoliator

Your skin is a living and breathing organ . Each day , it renews itself by regenerating itself in the form of collagen . This means old skin cells die off and new ones take their place . But if you don ’ t remove the dead stuff , you run the risk of having a dull , aged look .
One way to help promote new skin growth and get rid of those old cells is to use a quality exfoliator . We like Menscience Microfine Scrub . This professional-grade product has glycolic acid that helps gently buff away dull buildup . The end result is smooth , radiant skin . Ideal for all skin type .
