Every woman deserves to have perfect skin . . . so,
wouldn't it be great if the world always saw the youthful
and vivacious woman with perfect, young-looking skin? Let's
get started right now to shape and change those minor
things that lead to signs of aging.
Ready to start turning back the hands of time? Here are
five simple tips to help you and your skin look and feel
younger.
1. Sit Up Straight
"People with good posture are seen as younger, more
confident, and happier than those who slouch, round their
shoulders, or tilt to one side," according to Paul
D'Arezzo, MD, a certified emergency physician in Colorado
Springs, CO. You'll not only look better, you'll feel
better too! Good posture prevents muscle strain and can
help eliminate tension headaches caused by strain on the
neck. Think about taking a regular yoga or Pilates class to
strengthen core muscles in your abdomen, pelvis, and lower
back. If you spend long hours seated at your desk, remember
to create several brief exercises to do at regular breaks
to relax, stretch and firm your muscles.
2. Darken and Emphasize Your Brows
"When brows are thin and light, they make your features
disappear, adding years to even the youngest looking face,"
says Damone Roberts, a celebrity eyebrow artist and costar
of TLC's 10 Years Younger. Cleanse your face in the
morning, followed by your moisturizer. Then fill in sparse
spots in your brow to create the illusion of thickness. We
associate youthfulness and confidence with darker, fuller
brows.
3. Follow A Daily Skin Care Routine
Caring for your skin twice a day can reverse the effects of
time by tightening, moisturizing and lifting the dermis of
your skin. Choose a cleanser specifically for your skin
type along with a moisturizer to support your skin through
the day. Don't forget to apply a toxic free SPF day cream
to protect against UVA/UVB rays throughout the day.
Cleansing and moisturizing again before bed will support
your skin as it rejuvenates during the night. . .leaving
you with perfect, radiant skin.
4. Stop Smoking
Smoking can shorten a woman's life by 14 1/2 years,
according to the CDC. It also causes excessive wrinkling
around the eyes and mouth, along with a grayish complexion.
"Your skin may be able to repair itself somewhat from the
damage," says Patricia Farris, MD, an assistant clinical
professor of dermatology at Tulane University. Using
organic skin care products, which are rich in nutrients,
will help restore the glow and radiance to your skin.
5. Brighten Your Smile
Our smiles are a beacon for impressions about age. Since
enamel wears over time and darkens, a dull colored smile is
connected with age. A smile that is bright white is
connected with youth and good health. Many of us have
lifestyle habits that affect the way our teeth appear to
others - including habits which stain our teeth like
drinking coffee, red wine, tea, etc. Not only do we need to
cut back the bad habits, but a trip to the dentist to have
teeth professionally cleaned is important to overall
health. And don't forget the daily brushing and flossing to
keep your teeth white and healthy.
