How to Look 10 years Younger

Aging is a timeless process and a dreaded one to many of us. When most of us think of aging, we worry about how we’ll look to others and whether or not we`ll meet the expectations of those who are important to us. When we look younger, we feel younger and better about ourselves. And feeling better is what it is all about, but at what cost? Believe it or not, a few simple tricks can easily take years off of our complexion, without the need of plastic surgery or painful needles. See for yourself by turning back the hands of time with these great tips.

Hair

While gray hair is a common culprit for adding years to our age, the wrong hairstyle can also add years to our true age.

· To disguise any wrinkles that are on your forehead, try adding bangs. Today’s bangs can be versatile, giving you a variety of options without being stuck with the once simple straight across the forehead bangs.

· To hide a soften jawline, try looking for a style that layers just around your neck to focus away from this area. Also try adding a few short layers on top of your crown to add volume and focus away from any sagging areas.

· If crows feet are a bother for you, add layers that frame your face to help hide the lines.

· If you want to wear long, have it layered. Layering long hair will make you look re-freshed and give you a face-lift.

· Opt for a new color and cut instead of the same old thing. Changing your hair can take years off your appearance and keep you from being stuck in a rut.

Makeup

A few simple tricks in our makeup routine can easily make us look years younger.

· Give your eyes an instant lift by shaping your eyebrows. Look for stencils to try on different brows and create a brow that is perfect for you. Use a brow powder instead of a pencil to fill in brows and soften features.

· Trying lightening your eyebrows a shade or two to help soften your face. For gray eyebrows ask your hair colorist to color them.

· Remember to use concealer. Look for one that is creamy and contains a peach or yellow undertone to remove the bluish cast under your eyes. Avoid concealers that are lighter than your skin tone.

· Use a light touch when setting your foundation with powder. Too much powder will settle into lines and highlight them.

· Use a cream blush rather than a powdery one, since powder blushes will draw attention to lines.

· Opt for a lighter lipcolor. Darker lipcolors can make you look harsh and accentuate imperfections. To make lips seem fuller, add a touch of gloss to the inside of the bottom part of your lip.

· Use a moisture-rich foundation and when you don’t wear foundation, use a moisturizer to keep skin looking fresh and hydrated. Apply the foundation only where it is necessary and avoid apply it on fine lines.

With the above tips and a healthy diet, you can help minimize and even slow down the aging process with a little patience and time. Just remember however, despite what others may think aging can also be a beautiful thing.
