Now that it is the cold weather that surrounds us using sunscreen is the last thing on your mind. You probably think that the winter sun is nothing to be scared of. On the contrary! The winter sun is even more harmful than the summer sun. This is exactly why you should remind yourself to apply sunscreen, especially on areas that are usually exposed to sunlight such as your face, neck, hands, etc. Keep your sunscreen in your bag so that you will be able to reapply it when needed! The harmful UV rays are one of the biggest causes of wrinkles and dark spots!

Sure coffee is great, and nobody says that you need to replace it entirely. We are just suggesting to replace your afternoon coffee with a hot cup of green tea with some honey. Since it does contain caffeine, it will keep you awake for the rest of the day, the same as coffee. Plus, green tea has been found to have other beneficial effects apart from keeping you awake. Green tea contains what are called green tea polyphenols (GTPPs) which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties because of which they have the ability to protect our skin and prevent any aging signs for as long as possible. All kinds of teas, in general, contain this helpful compound, but it is the green tea that contains it the most, which is why we suggested it!
5) Drink More Wine

It is the same compound that has been found to strengthen the bones, improve the motor coordination and slower the aging process, especially the aging signs on your skin! However, you always need to remember the risks of excessive drinking! Drink responsibly to get the most beneficial effects out of your glass of wine for the day!
