How To Look Young As You Get Older

By Dana Cain


Everyone wants a youthful and attractive appearance. Do you know that just by following some simple skin care techniques you can look younger?

Too much makeup should be avoided

Many women use more cosmetics when their skin starts showing signs of age. Using fewer cosmetics is a good option as you get older. If you apply more makeup then it tends to slide into and accentuate lines and furrows since your skin starts to lose its firmness as you age.

Stay away from all-over foundation

Don't apply all-over foundation. Instead dot an opaque concealer or stick foundation over brown spots and broken capillaries. You can then use a sheer concealer to get rid of shadows under your eyes and in and around skin folds. Glossy lipsticks tend to slide into vertical lip lines so it would be better to avoid them. It would be a better option to stick to matte or pencil types instead.

Make your face look attractive

Use a soft cream-to-powder blush for cheeks. It won't get caught in nearby crow's-feet. A brown powder liner that's applied with a dampened brush is what you can use to rim your eyes for softer definition. Exaggerating wrinkles and sagging are harsh lines.

A round or scooped neck repeats the curve of a drooping bust so you better stay away from them. Instead use V-necks to direct the eye upward. You also need to avoid the classic turtleneck if you want to hide sagging neck because it pinches loose skin. Instead, try using a loose-fitting mock or scrunch-neck turtleneck. And look for jackets with small shoulder pads to square off slumping shoulders and balance out widening hips.

Tips for jewelry

Chokers will draw attention to the creepy neck skin and this is what you would want to avoid. Instead, try a pendant necklace with that flattering V-line. Don't use dangly earrings that accentuate jowls. Delicate stud, button, and small-hoop earrings are all classic looks that enhance but don't overpower your face.

Use retinoids

Skin care experts recommend adding a prescription retinoid to your skin-care regimen. This would aid in smoothing UV-induced wrinkles, reduce other visible signs of aging, and clear up brown spots. Retinoids are considered as the most documented and scientifically proven de-agers.

These potent creams and gels are acid derivatives of vitamin A. Besides stimulating collagen production, retinoids can also increase the water content of the skin. Sagging will then be prevented. At any age and in any weather, it is also important to use sunscreens and this should be used everyday.
