Simple Secrets That Will Make You Look 10 Years Younger

Whether you have long realized that age isn’t just a number, or  you at ‘the age in-between’ and discovered that, though you are not yet old so to say, you are no longer as beautiful and Sauvé as you use to be in your teen days. Either way, there is nothing to worry about, it’s not only completely natural to want to stay young, beautiful and desirable, but quite possible too.

Start With The Skin

For that totally beautiful and youthful you, start with the skin. If your skin is clear and radiant, you wouldn’t need to mask it with foundation after all. To achieve a clear, radiant and beautiful skin that every lady desire will only take a few natural ingredients and perhaps a slight change in lifestyle. Instead of sweets, eat more fruits and vegetables which have high water content to replenish and hydrate your skin. They will also give you a boost in vitamins and make your skin look and feel healthy. Drink a lot of water each day and if possible eliminate white sugar completely from your diet. White sugar is basically a processed food with detrimental effects that hastens aging. White sugar makes your skin age faster by binding to and weakening your skin’s vital element, collagen. This can cause wrinkles to form easily.

Regular Workout.

The benefit of regular exercise cannot be over emphasized. It enhances your metabolism and lifts your mood, leaving you feeling young and great. It tones your skin and makes it look much younger and radiant. It helps you to lose fat, build muscle and look many years younger and trimmer. What else are you waiting for? If you really want to look young and beautiful hit the gym now and never look back.

Regular massage session does wonders for your body too. A full body massage is the absolute best trick to getting that reborn feeling. Deep tissue massages are also a top recommendation, as they focus in on the muscles which may be overused.

For a cheaper solution, try this. Take 20 to 30 minutes each day and do stretching, yoga, or even meditate. All these activities will give you an energy boost, and make you look and feel younger.

Step Away From the Glitter

Bold or bright and shimmering makeups and eye shadow will make blemishes and wrinkles on the skin more noticeable.  In other words, they do not flatter or look attractive on skin or lids that are beginning to show tiny lines or have rough patches. Go for dark shades combined with lighter neutrals. Lighter eye shadows are most forgiving and youthful choices for the lids. In addition,   skip the liquid liner and opt for a soft pencil liner. The liquid liners not only emphasizes the delicate and fine skin surrounding your eyes but can be smudged

Take It Easy With The Concealer And Foundation

The secret is getting the right shade and the right dose. However, too much is far worse than too little, especially for you. That said, foundations that consist of anti-aging ingredients will definitely help you mask your wrinkles. But the key thing is to find a foundation that works as a treatment to lift your face as well.

For best results, remember this tip: apply the foundation in daylight. Avoid applying foundation in your bathroom unless the lighting is strong.

This is pretty simple and easy. Once you find a foundation that suits your skin, apply it evenly all over your face with a brush, just below your chin – the neck and your upper chest area. You will eventually find yourself with a silky finish on your body that instantly make you look younger.

Exfoliate, and Moisturise

Another tip to make take the eyes off your years and make you look even more that 10 years younger is  getting the right skin care product and your  choice of makeup and how you apply them. Go for natural and organic skin care products like coconut oil, and Shea butter. Remember that the right makeup for you doesn’t have to be very expensive. When you know what to do, it’s easy to trim costs—and a few years, to boot!

Exfoliate once or twice a week with a gentle scrub, and apply sunscreen daily. Moisturise every morning and night. Do this for not just your face but your neck and upper shoulders too. This is because, as you age, the skin on the neck area loses elasticity faster, taking on the dreaded creepy look.

 Pay Attention to Your Hands, Too

Remember to always wear gloves while washing dishes and to moisturize frequently. Chemicals and hot water can strip away the protective lipid barrier on your skin, making it susceptible to irritation and dryness

Now The Hair!

Your choice of hair do and how it sits on your face, very easily tells how old you are. The general rule is; hair with a soft, natural flow makes you look younger. Ditch the trendy styles for back-to-basics which is what actually most men prefer.

 The next time you visit your hair stylist, try braids and simple hairdos like Ghana weaving that will suit your face and make you look sweet, younger, and definitely more attractive. Change your hairdo as often as possible and remember to keep it simple.
