Editor Ghost Path shared her skincare tips in a post.
Many of his tried and true anti-aging techniques were now more accessible to the public.
“My old secret tip is common knowledge now – tretinoin and sunscreen,” she said.
In addition to topical treatments, she nourished her skin by staying hydrated and avoiding harmful substances like cigarettes and alcohol.
When it comes to skin health, what goes in is just as important as what you apply.
“Other general tips, like a healthy diet and exercise, are also good,” she said.
“Be sure to wear skin-covering clothing, a hat, and sunscreen when exercising outdoors.”
Her real secret tip, she revealed, is advice passed down from generation to generation, thanks to her grandmother.

“Stop making so many exaggerated facial expressions,” she said.
“Raising your eyebrows in surprise, pulling your lips down in disapproval, furrowing your eyebrows when angry.
“Your grandmother was right, if you keep doing that, your face will freeze like this.”
To avoid wrinkles, she listened carefully to her grandmother’s words of wisdom.
“Keep your facial muscles as relaxed as possible throughout the day and you won’t give as much of a chance for wrinkles to form in the first place,” she explained.
The advice, she discovered, had an additional psychological benefit.
Your grandmother was right, if you keep doing this, your face will freeze like this.

“I also think it has the side effect of keeping me calmer mentally – it’s like my brain tricks itself,” she added.
“If there is no facial expression to express anger/shock/sadness, then the actual feeling is correspondingly less strong.”
People agreed with other advice that helped them over time.
“I got rejected for telling people not to dismiss their technology and hold up their phones to avoid tech neck,” said one commenter.
“Tech neck” is a form of chronic neck or shoulder pain, pain or stiffness caused by poor posture while using technology.
“This [causes] lines on the front of your neck,” they added.
“It’s also a bulge at the base of the back of the neck, compressed discs that will cause a lot of pain and potentially result in surgery.
“Raise your screens, everyone! Your neck skin and spine will thank you!”
