A member asked:
I always washed my face after washing my teeth. dont know why, but lately i kept forgetting washing my face (only washed it during shower). will my face age faster because of this?

No, the skin on your face will not age faster with only washing in the shower but exposure to the sun may damage your skin & cause cancer. Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen minimum SPF 30 that is water resistant. Avoid tanning beds. Go to the American Academy of Dermatology website: www.aad.org-Sunscreen-faqs & Face washing 101. Use a daily gentle cleanser & moisturizer. Take care!

"Washing" your teeth is not the equivalent of cleaning them. Proper brushing technique only eliminates 65% of harmful bacteria. Please see your Dentist and ask for an Oral Hygiene review.

No. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
