Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2007 -- Skin care and anti-aging take some time to master but some bad habits may be defeating the purpose.

Practicing facial expressions were once believed to be a good thing but as the article points out, that couldn't be farther from the truth:

Contrary to popular belief, these very facial exercises can lead to early fine lines and wrinkles. Every time you make a certain facial expression, a groove forms beneath the skin's surface. As you get older and your skin begins to slack and lose elasticity, the grooves become permanently embedded in your skin.

Although it may seem obvious, smoking is one way to add more years to your face:
Skincare studies have also shown that individuals, who have smoked for a long time, tend to develop leathery and deeply wrinkled skin, compared to those who never smoked. So if you light up, just know that with each puff, you're sending your journey into old age at warp speed and should quit as soon as you can.

Even certain sleeping habits have been found to add signs of aging to your complexion:
If you continuously rest your face on your pillow the same way for nights in a row, your sleep lines won't disappear once your head is off the pillow. Instead they form into wrinkles. For women who sleep on their sides, these sleep lines often appear on their chin and cheeks, while men tend to get these lines on their foreheads, since a majority of men press their face down into the pillow when they sleep.

According to the Skincare News Team's sources, breaking these bad habits will keep anyone looking young and healthy for years to come.
