A person's skin conveys a lot about his or her health. The effects of sun exposure, poor diet, dehydration, stress, fatigue, smoking, allergies, and illness all can show up in skin, so it makes sense to pay close attention to it. A person can look younger or older depending on how well that person has taken care of his or her skin.

Whether a person's goal is to prevent wrinkles, look younger, treat premature aging, or minimize other skin problems, learning which health habits help protect the skin is a good first step.
