Most of us would like to look and feel more youthful, but how do you roll back the years without surgery or aesthetic ‘tweakments?’
If you’re looking for simple solutions to turn back time, here are some accessible steps to boost your confidence today and look and feel more youthful.
Prioritise skin care
We often think about our skin when we talk about ageing and feeling and looking older. The skin is the largest organ in the body. It serves as a protective barrier, which shields us from the elements. As such, the skin is often the first part of the body to show visible signs of ageing. Examples include fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and a lack of bounce and firmness.
There are lots of ways to look after your skin to slow the ageing process, including sun protection, staying hydrated, eating a balanced, healthy diet and doing regular exercise. It’s also hugely beneficial to get into the habit of cleansing your skin daily, exfoliating weekly and using tailored skincare products. There’s a vast range of products available, which makes finding the best lotions and potions tricky. To help you navigate endless aisles and displays, focus on products that contain youth-boosting ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and retinol.
Enhance your eyes
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul. Your eyes are one of the most prominent features and they play a major role in defining your look and making your beauty unique. Shiny, sparkly eyes give you a youthful appearance. Take good care of your eyes by having regular eye tests, shielding them from bright sunlight and taking regular breaks when you’re using phones, tablets and laptops.
Enhance your eyes with beauty products, such as serums and eye creams and cosmetics such as mascara, eyeshadow and eyeliner. If you like to experiment with new looks, you can even draw attention to your eyes with coloured contact lenses. The skin underneath your eyes is fragile and delicate, which means that skin care is essential. It’s never too early to start using hydrating lotions, eye serums and products that target common issues like dark circles, puffiness and fine lines.
Rejuvenating makeup
Most of us use makeup to make us feel like we look better or enhance our natural beauty, but it doesn’t always have the desired result. In some cases, makeup can age you. If you’re on a mission to wind back the clock, there are some great makeup hacks to rejuvenate your look. Stick to lightweight foundation or use BB or CC cream, define your brows and opt for shades of eyeshadow and lipstick that complement your skin tone. Add blush or bronze on the apples of the cheeks and blend upwards to create depth and definition. Use highlighter or hydrating setting spray to add a healthy glow.
Many of us wish we looked more youthful. The good news is that there are ways to rejuvenate your skin and amplify your beauty without having surgery or buying expensive products or treatments. Prioritise skin care, enhance your eyes and use youth-boosting makeup hacks to roll back the years.
