However, plenty of environmental factors also tend to play a role in when fine lines start to appear and how deep them may go.

#Sunscreen

While sitting out in the sun may seem pleasant, the truth is that the UV light can have quite the negative effect on our skin cells. That means that not using sunscreen on the daily is one of the worst habits you can have. Harmful sun rays are one of the biggest reasons for fine lines on the face. Make sure to make it a mental note to apply sunscreen on the daily, as the skin on the face is sensitive and is prone to redness and pigment spots.

#Sunglasses

Has this happened to you? You go out during a sunny day and the moment the sun hits your face you start to squint your eyes. This usually means that your eyes don’t handle sunlight well. That’s why it’s a great idea to always have sunglasses on you. Not only is it a cool accessory it will also shield the most sensitive of skin (around the eyes) from the harmful sun rays.

It may sound absolutely bonkers, but your sleep position may be causing wrinkles around your eyes. Sleeping with your face down can create wrinkles on your face and make them deeper as the years go by. So, try to learn to sleep on your back. Not only is this great for preventing wrinkles, it will also help to prevent acne.

#Avoid Junk Food

Nobody light to hear this one, but eating junk food and foods high in sugar does serious damage to our skin. Not only does it cause acne and hair loss, it also helps for fine lines to appear on your face. When you eat too much of these foods, the blood creates molecules that damage the collagen and elasticity of the skin. Two very important elements for wrinkle-free skin.
