I certainly remember thinking that anyone over 40 was old! Like really old!! Thank goodness 40, 50 and even 60 year olds are now looking younger and younger. Have you seen Christie Brinkley? I'll have what she's having, hehe!
I mean sure there are tons of new cosmetic procedures available along with really good products, but ones state-of-mind is also key to looking younger. If you think you're old, you most likely carry yourself as being old!
Here we go, some suggestions on ways to keep it young (and by 'it' I mean YOU!)...
~Change your same old nail polish color you've been wearing forever. Try some dark shades of burgundies, blues & grays.
~Whiten your teeth. There are fabulous new products that work really well and are not brutal on your gums.
~Wear your hair in a side braid or pony tail.
~Speaking of hair, cover those grays! Try root touch ups that you can buy at your drug store and supermarkets.
~Switch up your makeup routine. Add more defined brows if you've never done your brows. Change your lipstick shade or start to wear lipstick or lipgloss if you've never worn it. Try a completely new foundation.
~Neck cream, neck cream, neck cream......nuff said!
~Remove ALL peach fuzz on your face (and ears!). You'll be surprised how much better your makeup will look once the hair is gone. And if you don't wear makeup, your skin will look much smoother. There are many tools for facial hair removal available now. Some are as simple & inexpensive as a razor type gadget to more pricey epilators. Find what works best for your budget and need.
~Are you dressing like an old lady? Try a hoodie....yes, a hoodie! Now I don't mean a super large baggy sweatshirt, but look for a cute sweater hoodie or one that is tunic length.
~Get a pair of hip jeans, you know with subtle rips or a distressed look and pair those with high black boots. Yes, you really can pull it off!
~And finally, think YOUNG! Stop saying to yourself that you're old. As the saying goes, 'age is just a number' and it is!
