That's right.
You likely do not even know it's there.

Why you should avoid it and yes, exactly where it is hidden.
I'm going to break it down into five easy steps to slightly alter everyday
habits that will save you thousands on skincare and feel better overall as
an added bonus to the whole program.
Our goal on this channel is to help you look.
Feel better and to do it all as easily and inexpensively as possible.
So ask me questions in the more info below.
There's a link that says, ask Dr.
Ajani, I'll play them back here and answer exactly what you need to know.
The culprit is sugar and as you'll see is not just eating it, but it's
created within our bodies by our life.
And our habits.
Let's talk about the science behind that.
How does sugar age your skin when you eat too much sugar, the excess in your
bloodstream will bind to proteins in a reaction called G lation G lation
results in molecules called ag.
And these will damage your precious collagen and last in
proteins of which you lose 1%.
Every year, this can result directly in premature wrinkles
and leave your skin sagging.
Now, how does sugar cause acne, flareups say you drink a can of Pepsi or Coca-Cola
or even a glass of orange juice.
Yes, it's there.
This will cause your blood sugar and insulin levels to spike those insulin
spikes will aggravate your skin and they can directly cause inflammation.
Oil production while they mess with your hormones as well.
So it's very complex, but they directly can lead to that.
Sugar really is a sneaky little culprit.
It's in just about everything these days.
And if you're not mindful, you'll trip right into the majority of
those letting sugar reek, have it.
On your skin.
Luckily we can take control.
Let's dive into some key tips to prevent you from falling victim to sugar face.
Number one, we must watch out for hidden added sugars.
Even some of the most common foods have hidden added sugars, including cereals.
Yogurt ketchup, juices sauces, breads.
The list goes on, but don't worry.
It really is easy to watch your sugar.
Once you know what to look for sugar hides under many different aliases.
These are what you wanna look for in the ingredient list.
And yes, it does pay dividends for your health to examine that sometimes
perplexing list that we want to avoid.
Look for.
Hide fructose corn syrup, fructose barley malt, dextrose, fruit juice,
concentrate, maltose, maple syrup, molasses, ketchup, barbecue sauce.
Just about anything you're
using to flavor your food.
Unfortunately, flip over your food label and take a good scan for those names.
If sugar's on the.
Please do yourself a favor, walk away from that food and take some precious
skin collagen and elastin back.
Number two, get enough sleep.
You're not alone.
If you've noticed that sugar cravings increase when your sleep
deprived that's because sleep deprivation affects your hormones.
Especi.
the hunger hormone Garin causing it to crave and consume more sugary foods.
This of course increases the risk of the G lation, thus increasing chances
of premature aging on your skin.
So get more sleep we know is advice that is much easier said than done.
Sometimes if you're having trouble, a minimum of six to
eight hours is what I recommend.
Then try adopting a sleep routine that includes turning off your device.
One hour before bedtime, as well as using essential oils, my personal
favorite, a blend of lavender and.
Peppermint.
Those two are amazing to help you fall asleep.
Naturally.
Number three, manage your stress.
Stress is another one of those catalysts for sugar cravings.
While also taking a toll on your collagen levels.
Stress is inevitable at times, but remember to weigh out the
worth at the expense of your skin.
Again, we know this is way easier said than done, but may I suggest.
Yoga mindfulness journaling or even gardening.
Yes.
Sounds a little boring to me, but sometimes you need a little boring
to kind of balance your mind.
Very important.
Number four, snack smarter.
You have to watch out for what you were snacking on.
Take some time.
To build a habit on snacking on those foods that are not only low in
sugar, but also are skin friendly.
So colorful antioxidants and ones that make you fuller for longer.
I recommend nuts seeds, fruits like Kiwi watermelon mango, PA papaya, as well
as tuna salad, celery sticks boiled.
Carrot low fat, all natural yogurts.
And they can also be loaded with probiotics, which I like number five, wear
sunscreen because too much sun exposure has been found to exacerbate that.
G lation that we are talking about considering the fact that sun
damage is an accelerator of aging.
The combination of the two is definitely not ideal for your skin.
I strongly recommend a face sun lotion to protect your skin from
sagging and premature wrinkles.
Take a minute to find a daily sunscreen that you like.
If you don't like the, uh, white.
That some of them leave.
Think about a chemical sunscreen.
If you don't mind those, you wanna think about a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide.
Or titanium oxide, zinc oxide is preferable and you can use tinting
sunscreens so that you can tolerate the mineral ones and not worry about
that white casting that everyone hates.
Those are some tips.
Let me know what are your best habits?
