     Fortify yourself from the sun. The sun's powerful rays break down the collagen and elastin proteins in the skin. This causes wrinkles to develop on the skin. Avoid being exposed to the sun during the peak daylight hours, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you have to go outdoors during the peak daylight hours, wear protective clothing and sunscreen that will protect you from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

     Practice good hygiene. Wash your face and your skin regularly with soap and clean warm water. Be very gentle when you wash your skin. Avoid using strong soaps and limit bathing time. Strong soaps and hot water can remove vital oils from your skin. Shave your skin gently. Use shaving creams and gels before shaving and shave in the direction the hair is growing.

     Moisturize your skin. The type of moisturizers you use depend on the current conditions of your skin. If you have normal skin, use a well-balanced, water-based moisturizer that has lightweight oils. If you have sensitive skin, use a moisturizer that does not contain chemicals you are allergic to. If you have dry skin, use oil-based oil moisturizers that have propylene glycol to keep your skin moist.
