3. Do not cross your legs, as it unbalances our natural body posture.
4. Every 20-40 minutes, stop for a few seconds to make sure you maintain a good posture.
HOLD YOUR MOBILE LIKE A PRO
Did you know that we bow our heads an average of 150 times a day to look at our phones? So, when using your phone, make sure you hold it just below eye level. You will avoid flexing your neck and limit the increasing appearance of a double chin and horizontal expression lines.
USE HEADPHONES TO TALK ON THE PHONE
A simple practice of using headphones to talk on the phone avoids bending the neck in bad position which can prevent expression lines and help keep the skin firm. Who thought headphones could be your best beauty ally?
CHOOSE YOUR SLEEPING POSITION WISELY
One of the most common beauty tips is to get enough sleep. But, did you know that your sleeping position can actively advance the formation of wrinkles, as well as cause back problems? For instance, sleeping face down or on the side can lead to vertical lines on the décolleté. Even placing a pillow too high can cause the appearance of the double chin because it forces bad posture. In addition, reading in bed can cause horizontal wrinkles. Want to know to prevent these effects? Here are some easy best practices to follow:
1. Be aware of your sleeping posture and try to sleep face up.
2. To sleep face up, you can place cushions on both sides of your body.
3. When you read in bed, make a good backrest based on your headboard and several pillows.
