With the kind of diet, environment and stressors that we have today it becomes so easy to make your skin look older than you really are. If you want to regain that youthful glow, there are certain things that you can do or practice to bring that out. But other than that, you must also know about the things which you need to avoid because repeated exposure will render those regimens to be a lost cause. Here are the things that you need to protect yourself from to make a youthful looking skin.

Adequately Protect Your Skin from Sun exposure

If you want to protect your skin from wrinkles and spots, you should avoid direct sun exposure. Just imagine how grapes turn out when they are exposed to the sun to make raisins. So bring an umbrella at all times if possible, you may find this hard to keep up at first but this will most definitely protect your face from the sun. Apply some sunscreen that has a high SPF with UVA and UVB protection for additional and stronger defence.

Wear shades especially during summer or in tropical countries. This way you prevent wrinkles that form around the eyes and even sagging that can also result.

Avoid the Cigarette Smoke

For those who are fond of puffing stick after stick of cigarette and yet clamour for younger looking skin, better start dissing the urge to smoke. This depletes the skin from its moisture making it look dry and prone to breakouts. Smoking also promotes skin wrinkles to form particularly on the lips and the mouth.

Avoid Too Much Alcohol

Alcohol is beneficial under moderation, but drinking too much can dry the skin. In addition to that it also dilates the small blood vessels on the skin which can be permanently damaged over time. This will result to a flushed appearance instead of that healthy glow.

Avoid Sleepless Nights if Possible

Lack of sleep can create a plethora of health problems if you don t control it. Give yourself enough time to snooze, at least 6 hours of uninterrupted shuteye to help your body recuperate from the day s stress. Sleeping will give your skin that refreshed or well-rested aura.

So avoid caffeine a few hours before going to bed because not only will these leave you sleepless, but it also dries up the skin. This is probably the best skin rejuvenation technique that you can adapt.

Avoid Rubbing Your Face

After washing your face you should pat it dry instead of rubbing the towel. This may not be evident now, but this action can actually contribute to your wrinkles when you grow old.

Avoid Sleeping in a Prone Position

Sleeping on your side or on your chest with your face on your pillow can cause wrinkles later on. Did you ever have that time where you wake up and you find lines on your face due to the folds on your pillows? It may disappear in few minutes but this can leave an imprint beneath the skin which later reappears as wrinkles when you grow old.

As a teacher, it is important to be aware of all potential behavioural triggers in your classroom. That is because problems, arguments, and disruptions don t just happen something causes them. One of the best ways to prevent and avoid these triggers is by projecting an aura of control. If you give the impression that nothing escapes your attention and that you have a concrete hold over any situation, few students will risk testing you.

So, it is very important that you achieve this aura of control. The way you look, the way you move, the way you use and hold your body, has a profound effect on those around you and those with whom you come into contact. It gives a clear, sometimes subconscious, message to others as to how you re feeling. For instance, in times of stress we tend to display some gestures such as rubbing our necks or clenching our fists and, while quite natural and usually performed subconsciously, these actions are a clear indication that we are no longer in control. Mastering our body language is, therefore, very important in order to show that we are in control.

There are 6 non-verbal cues that we can use to project control in the classroom, and they are:

1. Move around the room Moving around the room not only keeps students on their guard, not giving them a chance to hatch secret plans in corners of the classroom but also gives a subtle powerful message that you are in control of the whole room.

2. Use your body language Students are experts at noticing when our limits are being reached and some will take advantage of a teacher if they think she is losing it. Teachers need to be aware of their postures and avoid anything that could be perceived as threatening or overly aggressive.

3. Use eye contact A few seconds of eye contact can trigger powerful feelings whether you re showing your pleasure through praise or your displeasure through a strict instruction, eye contact is essential if the real meaning behind those words is to be conveyed effectively.

4. Have eyes in the back of your head Teachers need to be aware of what s going on in all parts of the classroom at all times. If any students are off-task or fooling around, the behaviour needs to get snuffed out right away to send a clear message that you have seen them and that it won t be tolerated. Students are more apt to stay on task if they know you are aware of what they are doing at all times.

5. Make sure transitions are tight Smooth and effective transitions are one of the most important techniques in maintaining student involvement and class control. Failure to gain students attention by giving unclear and confusing directions, using lengthy explanations and allowing students to take too much time between tasks contribute to student misbehaviour.

6. Maintain students interest When students experience boredom, bad behaviour starts to emerge. Variety reduces and alleviates boredom. You can reduce boredom by providing students with a feeling of progress, offering them challenges throughout the lesson, and by being enthusiastic.

By employing the above non-verbal cues in your classroom, you will quickly notice a positive change in your students behaviour. Our body language is more powerful than the words we speak, so remember that when you are trying to get control of your class that you don t have to raise your voice. Simply utilize these six steps.
