Pouting your lips while sipping from a straw will only cause lines and wrinkles around your mouth.
3. Sleeping on your side
Sleeping with your face pressed into the pillow will only cause wrinkles. Experts explain that the best way to maintain a youthful look is to sleep on your back.
4. Bad posture
