Ageing depends on both genetics and your environment. There is nothing one can do about his/her genetics; however, changing your lifestyle can help fight ageing. Quit any bad habits like smoking or drinking alcohol. These habits are known to affect your health which includes your skin. Alcohol can increase the wrinkles on your skin too. It is very important for one to watch their diet too. Eating healthy food is one of the best ways to fight ageing signs.
