LOOK YOUNGER

Look Younger

Most women want to look younger. Some women go to expensive and sometimes risky procedures to hide their real age. Here are some tips that may help you look younger - without draining your wallet.

USING SUNSCREEN

UV rays are harmful. Constant exposure to the sun can actually speed up aging.  Use sunscreen, avoid tanning.  This will DELAY the appearance of those unwanted wrinkles.

FOLLOW A SKIN CARE ROUTINE

A skin care routine becomes even more necessary as women age.  Cleansing and moisturizing should continue but the use of masks and anti-wrinkle creams should now be part of the routine. Experts advise the use of creams that contain oils and ceramides that soften skin. Look for creams that can smooth visible lines with its 'mattifying effect'.

FOCUS ON YOUR EYE MAKE-UP

Make-up gurus claim this can take way 7 years off your face! "Apply a soft line using an eyeliner at the base of the upper eyelashes. Next, use an eyelash curler in order to add a youthful touch and then apply mascara for volume". A gentle coat of natural eyeshadow will pit sparkle into your eyes.

GO FOR PINK BLUSH

Pink brings a natural, fresh look. Use in moderation and it just might take away 5 years off your face. Use a light foundation as base.

BE CAREFUL WITH THAT HAIRSTYLE

Choose a simple but flattering hairstyle.  This is something you you spend on.  Leave it to the experts.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

What we take in will eventually show. A balanced, healthy diet will make your skin glow.  As you age, water becomes your best friend.  Avoid "sugar as it dries the skin and causes wrinkles". Go for "foods rich in proteins, fatty acids and Omega 3" and food that act as antioxidants.

FIND TIME FOR SLEEP AND RELAXATION

Get enough sleep and schedule time to relax.  Dark eye circles due to lack of sleep actually makes you look older.  "Relax and meditate for at least 10 minutes every day".

SMILE OFTEN, LAUGH ALL THE TIME

Enjoy life and stop thinking about getting old.  Stay optimistic. Think of the happy memories of your youth.  Those memories will make you smile.  Spend time with close friends and laugh until your sides ache.  Laugh about anything - including how you keep on getting older each day.

STOP FIGHTING

Literally,stop fighting with anyone.  Anger saps you of your energy.  Even if you win, you'll feel 'beaten-up'.  And stop fighting the cycle of life.  Everyone will grow old.  Unless you have "the curious case of Benjamin Button" .  It's a movie.  Benjamin was born old and looked younger and younger as he got older.  Benjamin lived long but died a "baby".  You don't want that!
