5 Things You Are Doing Making You Look Older Than Your Age

EDITOR’S PICK 

No one can escape growing older because it’s a natural process for everyone. It represents all of the changes that occur throughout one’s life.

What’s fascinating about ageing is that it doesn’t give you a choice; you can’t avoid it even if you’re the richest or healthiest person. But you can either speed up or slow down the process.

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some things that you are doing that can make you look older than your age.

1. Frowning

Frowning is a facial expression in which the brows are drawn together and the forehead is wrinkled, as depicted in the image below. Most individuals use it to express grief, bewilderment, or disgust.

The technique makes your face look older than your age because so many muscles are stressed. On the other hand, most of those muscles relax when you smile.

2. Holding on to clothes you’ve owned for too long

While you don’t have to follow every fashion trend to keep your appearance current, changing out your worn-out clothes and accessories may have a major impact on how old people believe you to be.

  1. This is the physical aspect, wearing old clothes would national make you look older than your age.

3. Opting for a matte cosmetics style (women)

Although matte makeup is popular especially among those with oily skin, using just matte products may make you look older than your age.

4. Not getting enough sleep

While being able to pull all-night may appear to be a youthful attribute, not getting enough sleep actually causes you to age faster.
