TLDR Healthy lifestyle changes can significantly improve skin health as you age.

The review article "Enhancing Skin Anti-Aging through Healthy Lifestyle Factors" emphasizes the significant impact of lifestyle choices on skin health and aging, identifying four key factors: nutrition, rest, physical exercise, and social interactions. The authors reviewed 164 journal reports to support their conclusions, suggesting that small, consistent changes in these areas can dramatically improve skin health and overall well-being. The document discusses the role of hormones, particularly the decline of 17β-estradiol, in skin aging, and highlights the benefits of balanced diets, adequate sleep, and regular exercise. It also notes the negative effects of poor nutrition, smoking, and alcohol consumption on skin health. The review underscores the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits to enhance skin health and delay aging.
