How would you
feel if you were told that you looked twenty years younger than you actually
are? It would be a major boost to your confidence. The good news is it could
happen to you too. By using these 8 simple tips, you can look twenty years
younger without spending a lot of money.
1. Update your makeup
to complement how you have changed over the years. That shade of red lipstick
may not work as well on you now as it did twenty years ago. However, before
purchasing expensive department store makeup, check out your local pharmacy or dollar
store. You are likely to find makeup products that are comparable to name
brands for a lot less money. When applying makeup, remember that less is more,
unless your daily activities require you to be in front of a camera for most of
the day.
2. Take care of
your skin by using moisturizers that contain sunscreen. SPF-15 is recommended
for average exposure to the sun, and higher SPF products should be used for
prolonged sun exposure. Avoid using deodorant soaps and other harsh cleansers
on the skin, as these dry out the skin. Moisturizing cleansers should be used
on the skin, and moisturizer should also be applied after a bath or shower.
3. Brighten your
smile by whitening the teeth and protecting gums by brushing with a baking soda
and peroxide solution. A low-sodium option is to use a tooth paste containing baking
soda and peroxide. In addition to preventive dental services and cleanings, teeth
whitening products such as strips and whitening trays can also be used.
4. Update your hair
style often with styles that complement your face. If you have been wearing the
same hair style for twenty years, it's time for a change because people
secretly think that you’re stuck in a time warp. However, unless you are a
cosmetologist, it is recommended that you get professional help with hair care.
5. Regular
exercise is a sure way to look younger, and stay in overall good health. Take a
walk around the block in your neighborhood at least three times per week. Start
out slow and work your way up to more intensive exercise. Soon you’ll be able
to join the youngsters in a game of volleyball at your next family reunion, and
throughout the day your relatives will ask you what you’re doing to stay so
young.
6. Develop
healthy eating habits that include the following: Drink plenty of water to
hydrate the body. Include fresh fruits and/or vegetables in every meal, and
limit the use of sodium and calorie-filled condiments. Eat smaller portions by
eating from a smaller plate. Eat throughout the day at regular intervals, and avoid
eating heavy foods after 7:00 p.m.
7. Update your wardrobe
by removing outdated clothing, and creating new looks with what’s left in your
closet by paring pieces that were not purchased together to create new outfits.
If you come across a dress that is out of style, cut it just below the thighs
and wear legging underneath it for a trendy new look.
8. Finally, it
is very important to get plenty of rest by getting at least 8 hours of sleep each
night. Being tired makes you look older than your years, while being alert and
energetic makes you appear younger. So, get that beauty sleep.
The tips shared here
have worked for me and I believe that they will also work for you. So, be a
happy, healthy, and younger looking version of you. You’ll know that your
efforts are working when you get second looks by men who are young enough to be
your . . . Well, you get the idea.
