3 Shocking Skin Enemies

Find out which seemingly-harmless everyday activities age your skin.

1. DRIVING
Experts see more wrinkles and brown spots on the right side of Australian women's faces and right hands due to increased UV exposure while driving. Smart strategy: wear SPF 30 and move your car sun visor to the right.

2. SIPPING FROM A SPORTS BOTTLE
When you do, you purse your lips like smokers do, which leads to vertical lip lines. Smart strategy: drink from a glass and carry a refillable travel mug instead of a water bottle. Skip straws, too.

3. EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR
Sugar attaches to bloodborne proteins, forming molecules that damage skin-firming collagen fibres. Smart strategy: keep added sugar to less than 9 tsp (630 kJ, or 150 cal) daily.
