Appearance is very important, it is the first thing you notice
when you meet someone. As you grow older the body starts to let you down, but
there are a few things that you can do. Some ideas are very simple, while others
need a bit of work but they can all help to turn back the clock and make you
look younger.
Standing up straight is one of the best ways to look
younger and more confident. Standing straight, with shoulders back and down
with your tummy pulled in. At first you will need to practice and check
yourself that you are standing up straight but soon it will become second
nature. Doing exercises to strengthen your tummy muscles will also
help.
Having enough sleep, at least 7 to 8 hours a night will
make you feel healthier and younger. Your body needs sleep so that it can
repair your body cells and refresh you mind.
Smiling makes you look radiant and younger. Smiling also
distracts from areas that show your age. A smile just changes your whole face,
try standing in front of a mirror and see what smile can do for your
face.
Just because you are older does not necessarily mean that
you have to have a short haircut. It all depends on the shape of your face, a
short hairstyle can be cut to flatter and frame your face. This can be great
to draw attention away from signs of ageing. Though longer hairstyles can be
just as flattering as long as you have a good haircut that is shaped and maybe
layered. A good hairdresser should be able to advise on the best way to cut
your hair, as it does not just depend on the shape of your face but also on
the texture and volume of your hair.
Colouring your hair is also a great way to hide the tale
tell grey hairs. It is best to choose a colour that is close to your original
colour so that it naturally compliments your facial tones. Otherwise you can
have high lights or low lights put into your hair, and these do not require
re-doing as frequently as an all over colour.
Choose the right clothes to compliment your body and hide
the areas that you do not like. For example if you have flabby arms you can
wear three quarter length sleeves to hide them. Soft colours will help you
look younger because your skin tones become greyer as you get
older.
Keep your teeth clean, with brushing and flossing, and with
regular visits to the dentist to have your teeth checked. Getting teeth
cleaned to prevent plague build up can also save you losing teeth
unnecessarily. If your teeth are discoloured, the dentist might suggest
whitening them, so that you will be happy to smile and show off your
teeth.
Losing weight can also help you look younger. Make sure
that as you lose weight that you tone your body with aerobic and resistance
exercises.
Make-up can also help as long as you do not cake it on. Use
a light foundation that does not sink into the wrinkles and emphasis them is
better than a heavier one that does. Be careful about which eye shadows to use,
cream ones will sink into your wrinkles.
Look after your skin. Do not clean your face with soap and
water but with a proper cleanser so that it dissolves all the make-up on the
face and cleanses it properly. Always make sure that you remove your make-up
every night as one night leaving it on can age your skin eight days. After
cleaning your skin make sure that you moisture it so that it keeps your skin
hydrated and younger looking
