In recent years, we have increasingly noticed that the younger generation is aging very quickly. This applies to girls aged 25-30. So what is behavioral aging?
The term "behavioral aging" itself was only coined in 2013. It was then that scientists began to investigate its causes, using three disciplines at once: biology, sociology and psychology.
About the concept
Behavioral Aging - Skin changes as a result of daily habits. It is connected with the fact that in recent years women are increasingly working on an equal basis with men. They experience constant stress, do not get enough sleep, spend little time in the fresh air, and do not eat well. The result is a dull complexion, enlarged pores, and a tired look.
Signs of behavioral aging
If biological aging manifests itself through the usual age-related changes - wrinkles, then behavioral aging manifests itself in a slightly different way. Here is a list of the signs that are reflected on the face of very young women.
- bad complexion;
- enlarged pores, oily sheen, rashes;
- tired look, bags and bruises under the eyes;
- age spots, dry skin.
For everyone, everything proceeds individually. Someone may be susceptible to all these signs, and someone will acquire only one.
Despite the trend towards a healthy lifestyle in recent years, it is still impossible to influence all the factors that cause behavioral aging. Unfortunately, the stress of the big city and the terrible ecology are beyond our control.
Ways to Combat Behavioral Aging
- Sleep 7-9 hours a day. A good night's sleep will noticeably affect your appearance.
- Eat right. An excess of fast food can have a bad effect not only on your appearance, but also on your health.
- Get rid of bad habits. Nothing, perhaps, ruins the skin more than smoking.
- Use sunscreen. Ultraviolet light is very bad for the skin, as a result of which the complexion and appearance in general deteriorate.
- Try to avoid stress. Master the practice of meditation and relax from time to time. Don't let stress get chronic.
- Spend time outdoors more often. Get out on a picnic in the countryside, try to leave the city more often.
- Use good makeup. Don't skimp on skin care products, they can help your skin recover from even the most stressful conditions.
