@dramirkaram: This list might pleasantly surprise you. Some of the things you've been worrying about may not be aging you nearly as much as you think. Your morning coffee, how you sleep, dehydration, sugar, stress... we constantly hear about everyday habits that supposedly make us age faster. But how much do they really matter? After more than 20 years specializing in facial rejuvenation, I'm rating 9 common lifestyle factors from 1–10 based on how much they actually contribute to skin aging. Some of my answers might give you a little peace of mind. One of them got a 10+. There's a big difference between something that temporarily makes your skin LOOK older and something that actually ages it over time. And here's what I really want you to take away from this: You don't need to worry about every little thing you do. Focus on building and maintaining the good habits that protect your skin rather than stressing over every habit you've been told is aging you. Understanding what actually matters allows you to put your time and energy where it will make the biggest difference. Which rating surprised you the most?

benadams420 :

Caffiene is very aging in an empty stomach. Caffiene kicks up your system into high gear and is a diuretic, which means you will urinate more. If you get enough sleep, you dont need caffiene for fake energy.

Satya :

You look awesome doctor!

Wrong. People who drink alcohol look so much older.

Mindydoll_0517 :

I completely disagree that alcohol doesn't age you as much as smoking. You're giving it a five. I'll give it a 10. it ages you just as bad as smoking. I have watched my children drink, and they look 5 to 10 years older than they are just from drinking. I just don't believe a lot of what Dr's have to say🤣😂😂😂😂
