1. DRIVING
Experts see more wrinkles and brown spots on the right side of women’s faces and their right hands because of greater UV exposure.
Smart Strategy: Always wear an SPF 30 sunscreen during the day. Move your visor to the right and wear gloves.

2. SIPPING FROM A SPORTS BOTTLE
It causes the same lip-pursing motion as smoking, which leads to vertical lip lines.
Smart Strategy: Skip the straw and drink from a glass. Use a refillable mug instead of a water bottle.

3. EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR
In your bloodstream, sugar attaches to proteins to form molecules that damage skin-firming collagen fibres.
**Smart Strategy: **Keep added sugar to no more than 100 to 150 calories (that is 5 to 7 teaspoons) daily.

Botox Bonus

Botox does more than smoothen wrinkles - it also boosts your mood, finds a new study. Women who had the line reducer injected into their foreheads were less depressed, anxious, and irritable than those who got fillers, peels, or other cosmetic procedures. “By making it hard to frown, Botox prevents the expression of negative emotions so you feel happier,” theorises Michael Lewis, PhD, a psychologist at Cardiff University in Wales. The only sad part: results wear off as the Botox does.

I don’t want wrinkles, but if I couldn’t frown disapprovingly, I’d shave off my eyebrows and draw them back in, all fierce and angry-like!

To hell with this botox: frowning and giving the stink-eye to my loved ones is the better part of my day!
