Most people blame their wrinkled, dry, and sagging skin on aging or not using the right skincare products.

These factors do matter, but there’s another, often overlooked reason your skin can be aging much faster than it should— that’s your everyday habits.

No matter how much you spend on top serums and moisturizers, certain everyday habits can quietly undo your efforts and cause your skin to age faster.

Here are seven habits that can age your skin without you knowing.

Pushing Down Your Emotions

Emotions have a strong impact on our physical appearance, especially our facial expressions.

If you’re happy, sad, or upset, these emotions will show up on your face without you realizing it.

This is why someone can look at you and ask, “What’s wrong?” just by noticing the expression on your face.

However, there’s a hidden danger when it comes to how we handle our emotions, especially the negative ones.

When you regularly push down or suppress negative emotions like anger, sadness, or worry, you’re not just hiding how you feel — you’re actually harming your skin.
