What are some tips to grow your hair down to atleast the shoulders?

Myth #1: Your skin will age just like your mom's. The reality: Sure, genetics play a role in how your skin looks, from the size of your pores to its texture and color. But banking on aging like your mom or grandmother is a big mistake. "Habits make more of a difference than genetics," explains Dr. Rodan. "The biggest culprit in aging is sun exposure, and your drinking, smoking, stress, and sleep habits play a role, too." Skipping sunscreen, imbibing too often, coping ineffectively with stress, and sleeping on your side or stomach can all exacerbate and create wrinkles, adult acne, and texture changes.



Myth #2: The SPF number tells you how much protection you're getting from the sun.



The reality: There are two types of damaging sun rays: UVA, which are responsible for aging the skin; and UVB, which are responsible for burning it. The SPF number on a bottle of sunscreen only gives a guide for how much UVB protection the product offers. It doesn't tell you whether or not the product protects from UVA rays (which are also responsible for melanoma). All sunscreens protect from UVB rays, explain Drs. Rodan and Fields. To fully protect yourself, however, look for a product that contains UVA-blocking ingredients, too, such as zinc or avobenzone (Parsol 1789), and reapply often.



Myth #3: You need a separate sunscreen and moisturizer.



The reality: "Sunscreens already add moisture to your skin because of their ingredients," says Dr. Fields. So if you have oily skin, you may want to skip the separate moisturizer. For those who prefer to wear both products, apply the moisturizer first; allow to dry, then apply the sunscreen. Either way, be sure to wear sunscreen daily: "Every day is sun day," says Dr. Fields, even if it's cloudy or overcast.



Myth #4: Most of the sun damage you incur happens before age The reality: "Recent studies have shown that by age 18, you've only accumulated 18 to 23 percent of the sun damage you'll incur over a lifetime," says Dr. Rodan. That means that there's still time to protect your skin from the sun and put off sun-induced aging. Do this by using sunscreen and products with sun-damage reversing ingredients such as vitamin C and retinol.



Myth #5: Cosmetic creams can turn back time for your skin.



The reality: There's no such thing as a miracle in a bottle. "As you age, your facial bones shrink, you lose fat under the skin, and your skin begins to become loose," says Dr. Fields. "Rubbing on a cream isn't going to address these things." What's more, cosmetic skincare products cannot, by FDA law, include medications, which are the only things that truly change the structure of the skin. What cosmetic creams can do: Temporarily plump up and hydrate your skin. For the best chance at turning back time, see your dermatologist for medications or procedures.



Water: It's true that gulping down loads of water will help your skin look its prettiest. "Water helps your skin by getting by-products out of your body," says Ryba. By drinking lots of water, you're helping your kidneys function better, which in turn helps skin avoid a sallow, tired look.



閳ヮ敼almon, flaxseed, and avocado: All contain omega-3 fatty acids, compounds that help reduce inflammation in the body. That reduction in inflammation helps combat problems like puffy eyes, pronounced fine lines, and sagging skin. Be sure to buy wild -- not farmed -- salmon, to get the best fatty acids. Grind your flaxseeds before sprinkling them on yogurt or cereal for the most benefit.



閳ヮ敤erries and melon: Both are low-sugar fruits and help to make skin firm and taut. It's important to avoid high-sugar foods, including high-sugar fruits like pineapple and banana. "[Foods with a lot of sugar] cause your blood sugar to rise, which makes insulin come into your system and sets off a chain of hormonal reactions," says Ryba. Those hormonal reactions can make your body retain water and increase inflammation, both of which contribute to puffiness and tired-looking skin.



閳ヮ敶uts and wheat germ: Both are chock-full of biotin, a nutrient known for making hair and nails strong and resilient.
