As we age, we all have to deal with the inevitable facial lines. Lines and weak muscles start minutely, but did you know that we are responsible for putting age lines in our face ourselves? Certain habits cause premature aging of the face and weak muscle tone. They are generally unconscious habits developed over the years. Check these facial habits and be conscious to alter these reflexes.

1 Frowning.
Frequent frowning can turn into a permanent frown. If you frown when you read, you might need a pair of glasses.

2 Rubbing eyes.
We all rub our eyes but if you are rubbing too often and too hard, see your doctor to test for allergies. Continued rubbing of your eyes can break down the tissue of the eyelids leading to prematurely loose skin.

3 Not wearing sunglassses.
The sun causes us to squint and chronic squinting creates and deepens lines around our eyes.

4 Blowing nose too hard.
If you have a cold, or sinus, don’t rub hard or twist the skin around the nose and mouth area. Excessive stretching of the skin can loose the delicate fibers of the epidermis and cause wrinkles.

5 Sinking your face down in a pillow when sleeping.
As you grow older, early morning lines in your face take longer and longer to fade and eventually become permanent.
