5 morning habits that can delay ageing

You’ve heard it before, but it’s worth repeating: SPF is non-negotiable. Yes, even if it’s cloudy, even if you’re working from home, and even if you’re not “going out.”

UV rays are sneaky little things that break down collagen, cause pigmentation, and create fine lines over time. Blue light from your screens? That’s also ageing your skin, FYI. So, slap on a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, like brushing your teeth, it should be a routine.

Pro tip: Apply it as the last step of your skincare, right after moisturiser. And don’t forget your neck, chest, and hands, they age too.

Why it helps: Sunscreen protects your skin’s collagen and elasticity aka the stuff that keeps your face looking firm and smooth.
