TLDR Healthy habits like good diet, sleep, exercise, and socializing can greatly improve skin health as you age.

The review by Knaggs and Lephart highlights the significant impact of healthy lifestyle factors on skin anti-aging. It identifies four key factors: nutrition/diet, rest/sleep, physical exercise, and social/community interactions, which collectively enhance skin health and well-being as individuals age. The review emphasizes that small, consistent changes in these areas can lead to substantial improvements in dermal health. Additionally, it suggests that social media interventions promoting these lifestyle changes could be beneficial for skin health in the future. The conclusions are based on an analysis of 156 references from scientific literature over the past five years.
