We are often told that we should grow old gracefully, but you don’t have to. Here are some ways to grow old youthfully, keep your skin fresh and radiant and you can do it by carrying some simple daily activities:
Keep Smiling
When people were asked to judge the age of people in photographs, the pictures of people smiling were all judged to be younger than they actually were. So, a happy smiley face will always make you look more youthful.
Eat Grapes
The thing that makes grapes sweet is sorbitol, which is a humectant. This means that a substance that attracts water. For the skin, this means it will absorb and retain moisture more effectively, so making grapes a part of your diet is a great idea for more youthful-looking skin.
Framed Face
By keeping your eyebrows well-shaped and nicely groomed, you are giving your face a frame and drawing more attention to your eyes.
A Helping Hand
If you have an occasion coming up and want to look younger without spending weeks eating grapes – why not consider Gloucester Botox from doctorkate.co.uk/gloucestershire-botox-treatments?
Daily Cleanse and Moisturise
A routine of cleansing and moisturising not only protects skin but helps to keep it looking fresh and healthy. Avoid using soap that can dry out the skin and use a gentle cleanser to prevent stripping the skin of essential oils. A good moisturiser for day and night use is also recommended.
Hide Problem Areas
Self-conscious about wrinkles on your neck or double chin? Don’t try to cover with tight-fitting tops or crew necks but consider a shirt collar with a round-neck sweater instead. Darker colours are better at concealing stomach fat.
Don’t Forget the Hands
Studies have shown that people can accurately guess a woman’s age by her hands. Be sure to use a hand cream regularly and remember that you can exfoliate your hands using a gentle scrub to keep them soft and smooth.
Eat More Veggies
Green veggies are packed with Vitamin K which helps the blood to coagulate, reduces bruising and can protect the skin from sun damage. Red veg is also recommended as it contains lycopene which also helps prevent damage from UV rays. Upping your fruit and vegetable intake will work wonders for the health of your skin.
Reduce Cosmetic Use
Heavy make-up can age your face. Choosing the wrong shades can also be unhelpful. Try to use pink tints or other radiant shades that look more youthful. The older our skin gets the more make-up is likely to move or settle so you’ll find that less make-up sots far better on mature skin.
Weekly Exercise
Regular exercise, even of a moderate intensity, can help to slow down the aging process. Exercise can prevent muscle loss and you’ll sleep better, which reduces puffiness and dark circles. Cardio exercise benefits the heart and lungs, resistance exercise is great for muscle tone and stretching will improve your flexibility.
