Drinking From a Straw

Drink plenty of water, as that's good for your face and hydration, but ditch the straws.

"Just as frowning causes wrinkles, repeated straw drinking causes people to purse their lips, and this in time creates wrinkles," says Dr. Debra Jaliman, board-certified NYC dermatologist, assistant professor of Dermatology Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and author of the book Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist.

"The repetitive muscle motion of pursing the lips causes the wrinkles around the
mouth. These can be very deep and can age the face immensely," she says. Skip the straw and drink directly out of the can or bottle, or pour your beverages into a glass, instead.
