We all know that sun damage is a major contributor to premature ageing. As specialist dermatologist, Dr Rayhaneh Zahedi explains, “We have up to 90 per cent control over how our skin ages, and the biggest thing we can do to prevent premature ageing is by effectively protecting and shielding against damaging UVA and UVB rays from the sun by wearing sunscreen all year round.”
Pregnancy can wreak havoc on the body, but there’s some evidence to suggest that it might also accelerate ageing. A study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health shows that pregnancy can advance ageing at a cellular level by up to two years, and each additional pregnancy during early adulthood (up to the age of 25) was associated with more than two months of accelerated biological ageing.
Fortunately, Dr Curry-Machado says that these changes do not have to be permanent, and by focusing on correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies postpartum, there is a chance to repair the damage.

Marsh says, “Fine particle matter released by car exhausts into the air can penetrate the skin’s surface and trigger inflammation. Pollution also generates free radicals that can add further damage to skin cells, causing them to age prematurely.”
When you experience stress, you might notice changes in your skin. Over time, chronic stress may lead to signs of ageing.
Focus on managing stress itself to minimise the impact on your skin. This can include practising relaxation techniques like deep breathing, mindfulness, or yoga.
Hot showers
Dr Reilly advises against washing your face in the shower and instead recommends double cleansing before your shower with gentle products and cooler water.
Daniels recommends a diet filled with oily fish like salmon and mackerel, egg yolks, and UV-exposed mushrooms to boost vitamin D, but notes that the government advises everyone in the UK should consider taking a daily vitamin D supplement during the autumn and winter.
Overuse of exfoliants
Dr Tom Curtis, clinical head of obesity at Voy, the UK’s leading medicated weight loss programme, says that while losing weight can be great for your health, it can sometimes have unexpected effects on your skin, giving you so-called “Ozempic face”.
Dr Curtis suggests proper hydration, a balanced diet, and gradual weight loss to help mitigate some of the effects on your face.
A low-fat diet
“We are now understanding the key role fat plays in cell regeneration, the health of the skin cell membrane and absorption of fat-soluble antioxidants such as vitamins E and A. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that we have to get through food and is important in both the uppermost layer of skin, the epidermis, but also deeper down in the dermis.”
Sleep position
Facialist Nicki Wright can tell her clients’ sleep positions by the lines on their faces because how they sleep may be causing them lasting wrinkles.
As Wright says: “It’s a subtle but powerful reminder that beauty sleep isn’t just about the hours we clock in; it’s also about how we spend those hours.” You may loathe to change your preferred sleeping position, but sleeping on your back is less likely to leave lines on your face.
