It is the desire of every man or woman to look younger than his/her age for as long as possible, it is rather sad that most men are not ready to pay the ultimate price to look fresh, young, and agile for a very long time in their lives.

Having studied some daily habits men get involved in, I got to realize that some of these habits are behind the reasons why most men tend to look older than their age.

To help curb this problem, I will be sharing with you a few daily habits men get involved in that make them look older than their age.

1. You don’t moisturize.

Most men have over time built the impression that only women should worry about keeping their skin moisturized. This impression is bad, as it constitutes one of the reasons why most men look older than their age.

You will agree with me that men are more exposed to hard labour, making them to stay for a very long time under the intense heat of the sun, this reaps their skin of its natural oil, making it dry and eventually break.

This is why it is more pertinent that men should always keep their skin moisturized to keep them fresh and prevent them from looking older than their age.

2. Eating Excess Processed Foods

This habit is more common in men who are bachelors. They don’t seem to have time to cook instead, they rush for junks, and other processed foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It might interest you to know that processed foods may contain toxic preservatives that might not be good for your body, also, they tend to contain a lot of sugar which can cause dark spots under the eyes, wrinkled face and dehydrated skin capable of making you look older than your age.

3. Washing Your Hair Regularly

While many will argue this, hair hygiene is good, but when in excess, it can strip the hair of its natural oil, leaving it dry, brittle and dull.

When your hair appears dull, brittle, and dry, there is a high tendency that you will look older than your age; instead, you can keep your hair healthy by shampooing your hair and wash using warm water twice a week.

4. Not Using Your Sunglasses

Sunglasses are not only meant for fashion, they also play a great role in protecting the skin around the eyes, which are very delicate and can be damaged by the ultraviolet rays from the sun.

Not using sunglasses makes the skin around the eyes get to burn and look darker than it should, thereby making you look older than you really are.

5. Not Washing Your Face Regularly

After the day’s job, it is expected that as a man, you return home and wash your face thoroughly to avoid certain bacterial infections that might have built up through sweats and contacts with contaminated objects of bodies.

Always wash your face thoroughly before going out for work, when at work and after work.

6. Bad Posture

This might sound funny, but it is a great mistake most men make that makes them look older than their age.

As a man below the age of forty, you cannot stand and build a posture of a man who is in his late sixties. Therefore, building a good posture will go a long way in making you look younger.

7. Haircut

Your haircut goes a long way in deciding how you look. If you cut your hair like that of an eighty-year-old man, then you will surely look older.

Therefore, stay in tune with all the trending haircut styles to look younger.

8. Stop Relying On One Clothe

Try as much to explore the world of fashion and know what is trending to avoid you sticking to one clothe that will make you look old-fashioned and older than your age.
