Nobody wants to think
about getting older, but it happens to us all. However, just because we get
older, doesn’t mean we have to look like we do. Our appearance will change no
matter what, but you don’t have to become a stereotypical old person if you don’t
want to. If you want to look amazing as you age, it can definitely be done -
just take a look at people like Christie Brinkley if you need proof!
This health and beauty
plan for a permanent youthful appearance will help you to take better control
of your looks as you age, so take a look and see what you can take away to help
you to feel better about your age.
Take Care Of Your Body
With Diet And Exercise
The first thing you
should be doing is taking care of your body with diet
and exercise. This is something that
can’t and shouldn’t be avoided if you want to look and feel great all the time.
Diet and exercise is important for anybody and everybody. Exercise has a
plethora of benefits, from younger looks to more endorphins and a better sex
drive. Eating healthy food is important too - you’ll notice the difference in the
way you look and feel when you eat great food. Here are some pointers you can
use to help you:
- Eat foods that you enjoy, but
find ways to make them from fresh, healthy ingredients. You can make
healthy pizzas and ‘fakeaways’ at home.
- Make your plate more colorful
and ensure you're getting plenty of fibre from fruit and veg.
- Don’t starve yourself. You
should be eating nourishing food that supports your body and exercise, not
starving and punishing it. This must be sustainable.
- Include healthy fats in your
diet like nuts, fish, and avocado, as they are great for your hair, skin,
and nails.
- Even walking can be classes as
exercise. It’s a great low impact option if you’re just starting out, as
is swimming.
- Try out some classes and weight
lifting exercises when you get more confident. Strengthening your body
will help you to look amazing and improve the things you do every day,
too.
Taking care of your body
with diet and exercise is all about balance, moderation, and building great
habits in the long term. If you're unsure of where to start, always contact a
professional to help you.
Invest In Skincare
Products That Really Make The Difference
Skincare is essential if
you want to look youthful in the long run, but you need to know which
products really make a difference.
If you can only invest in one or two high end products, focus on your serum and
perhaps your night cream, or even an eye cream. Serums penetrate at a deeper
level and can be a great way to change your skin. You should be cleansing,
toning, using serum, adding eye cream, and moisturizing twice a day. Make sure
you apply a sunscreen too. Protecting your skin from the sun’s rays is crucial,
even if it’s not shining it can be damaging!
Sleep On A Silk
Pillowcase
A silk pillowcase can
stop your face from dragging as you sleep at night, meaning you experience
fewer eye
lines and wrinkles in other
places. It can also help your skin to retain moisture better. They’re not too
expensive these days, so make sure you look into purchasing and notice the
difference they can make to your skin health. You could notice an immediate
difference upon waking in the morning!
Go For Regular Health
Check Ups
Regular health check ups
will help you to catch any issues before they turn into even bigger issues.
Make sure you go for your eye checks, dental checks, and general health checks
to be sure that you don’t have any underlying problems that can take more time,
money, and effort to fix in the long run.
Look After Your Teeth
Something that can
really show your age is yellowing
teeth that haven’t been
looked after. They can make somebody in their twenties look much, much older.
Make sure you’re taking care of your teeth with regular trips to the dentist,
brushing, flossing, and rinsing, and using the occasional whitening treatment.
Whitening from the dentist is probably the easiest way to go about it, but it
can be more expensive this way. You may want a home treatment, but do your
research first to ensure that it’s safe. You don’t want to end up damaging your
teeth in the long run. Some treatments can cause terrible sensitivity too, so
be aware of this.
Get Your Eyebrows Professionally
Shaped
Your eyebrows can make
your face, so if you haven’t shaped them, or worse you’ve over-plucked them,
they can make your face look strange. Investing in a professional eyebrow
treatment to shape them could be one of the best things you ever do - HD brow
treatments can be expensive, but
you know you’re getting a thorough treatment where the therapist will shape
your brows especially to suit your face, and tint them to make them more
noticeable. If you don’t have much in the way of brows, microblading is a
popular treatment that could help you to have permanent eyebrows without
makeup. Just make sure you go to somebody who has a great portfolio, as you don’t
want to go to somebody inexperienced and be stuck with terrible results. Bear
in mind that the eyebrows will wear off eventually, so it’s a good idea to have
a yearly top up. It can save you a lot of time on drawing on your eyebrows,
too!
Make Sure You’re
Sleeping Well
Getting a decent amount
of sleep will make a big difference to how youthful you look. If you’re getting
6 hours or less, you can pretty much guarantee that you won’t look your best.
That being said, everybody is different and needs a different amount of sleep.
It’s all well and good telling somebody to get 8 hours a night, but some people
may need 9, and some may need 7. Pay attention to what makes you feel and look
your best.
Look After Your Nails
Having nicely shaped,
clean, and shiny nails will help you to look healthy. You don’t want nails of
different lengths and shapes, and you certainly don’t want them to be
discoloured from things like smoking and not wearing a base coat when you wear
nail polish. Apply hand and nail cream regularly too!
Wear Sunglasses
Sunglasses protect the
delicate skin around the eyes from the sun, and can stop you from squinting
into it when it’s bright!
Know The Type Of Makeup
That Suits You
Make sure you know what
kind of makeup suits you. For example, light
eyeshadows can help to open up the
eyes and give a brighter look.
Try A New Hairstyle
Maybe your hairstyle is
aging you more than you realize. Getting a fringe or being brave and having
your long hair cut into a bob could be a great way to take years off your face.
Have a chat with an experienced hairdresser and see what they recommend.
Stand Up Straight
Failing to stand up
straight could cause long term posture problems, which adds pounds on to your
frame and is bad for you for a number of reasons!
Think Positively About
Your Age
The
more positive you are about your age, the better you tend to look - seriously, science proves that not feeling good about aging can
actually help you to look younger.
This is a good list of things to check your health! Often we keep 3-4 things in mind and then forget the other things. Even Stand up Straight!! Posture is really important for our spine! Thank you for the gentle reminders.
