As we grow older, our bodies start to slow down. Age sets in. But none
of us want to admit it. We all want to look our best—as long as we can. I want to share with you insider secrets that will help you look your best—
INSTANTLY AND help you realize how beautiful you really are …
No, I am not talking about some new miracle product. I am talking about
a few simple lifestyle changes that can help you turn back the hands of
time—quick and easily.
STAND UP
STRAIGHT
and be proud! You will appear more confident and look younger. Here is a
trick, practice standing with your arms down to your side. Next, turn
your thumbs outward. Your shoulders automatically go back. Practice
this, until standing up straight becomes second nature.
SLEEP—Having a good night sleep of seven to eight hours gives your body a chance to rejuvenate itself. With the right
amount of sleep, you will wake up looking and feeling younger, more refreshed.
HAIR COLOR—Coloring
your hair to hide the gray is a great way to hide the tell tale signs
of aging. Choose a color that is close to your original color, so it
naturally compliments your facial tones. If you like, consider high
lights or low lights, since they do not require re-doing as often.
HAIR STYLE—Longer
hair can actually make you look tired and worn down. Shorter hair
eliminates the dry ends, creates a more bouncy look and can improve your
overall youthfulness. Consider side swept bangs to expose and frame
your beautiful face. Also, consider a layered style to create a
livelier, shinier appearance.
MAKEUP—Avoid heavy makeup. Compliment
your natural shades and don’t load up on makeup. Use a light foundation,
one that will not sink in to and highlight wrinkles. Try cream eye
shadows. Remember to contour your face- it brightens and even makes you
look thinner.
UPDATE YOUR GLASSES—As
our eyes change and our prescription glasses need changing, so does the
style of frames. Updating your current frames creates a more current,
up-to-date look.
BRIGHTER SMILE—A
smile changes your whole face and makes you look more radiant,
distracting from areas that show your age. Along with that smile,
maintain a positive attitude—blocking negative thoughts that cause
stress and wrinkles. Also, consider
whitening your teeth.
Coffee and other foods can stain our teeth over time, creating a dull
look to our smile. Make your smile look bright and young by whitening
them with an at-home kit or even visit your dentist for treatments that
deliver faster results.
You can always keep a spare toothbrush in your purse.
DRESS RIGHT—Outdated
fashions outdate you! As your body changes, so should your wardrobe.
Most importantly – avoid baggy clothes. Wear outfits that compliment
your body and that help hide areas of concern. Have flabby arms? Try
wearing three quarter length sleeves. Also, since our skin tone becomes
lighter, duller with age—look for outfits with softer colors to better
match your complexion.
UPDATE YOUR SHOES—Dull,
worn and out of date shoes reflect the same on your appearance. Keep
your shoes updated with the fashions and looking shiny and new.
TAKE CARE OF
YOUR SKIN—and,
of course, take a few minutes every day for a proper skin care regimen
that will cleanse away impurities, exfoliate dead skin cells, hydrate
and nourish the newly revealed skin cells, plus an eye gel or cream to
target crow’s feet. Proper skin care will help restore that healthy,
radiant glow!
You will be amazed at how fast people notice a difference in your appearance and with all the compliments you will receive.
