Anti-Aging Tips to Make You Look 10 Years Younger
1. Frame Your Face
Eyebrows play a big role in making you look younger. Keep your eyebrows trimmed and shaped. This helps frame your face and draws attention to your eyes.
2. Decrease Sugar Intake
Or if you can, cut it out altogether! Sugar is an inflammatory food that will show aging effects on your face. Not only that, but it can inflame your brain, making concentration and memory more difficult and challenging.
If cutting out sugar feels too daunting, I recommend substituting it with monk fruit sweetener and eating sweet fruits. This will satisfy the sweet craving and help you move into a healthier habit!
3. Get Enough Sleep
Make this a priority. Sleep changes everything and is a critical part of slowing the aging process! Many women try to use the late-night hours to finish their to-do lists or get alone time. I understand completely. But your body needs adequate rest, as this is the time when cells regenerate and any inflammation in your body drops. If you keep your adrenaline going long after your body wants to rest, you will continue to produce stress hormones, instead of allowing your body to wind down.
Start small. Start going to bed 15 minutes earlier for one week, and then add another 15 minutes the next week. Make a point to reduce screen time beforehand so your brain can start to produce melatonin, which will help you fall and stay asleep faster.
With more sleep, you’ll feel and look more energetic and happy.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
This includes pesticides and industrial solvents such as paints and varnishes. Even household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can overtax your system. When the body tries to process these chemicals from the environment, it can cause chronic inflammation which wears down the cells.
Switching to more natural-based products will immediately relieve your body’s detoxification system and slow down the aging process. This applies everywhere in your life from gardening and household work to your hair and skin care routines.
5. Eat More Grapes
Yes, I said grapes! Sorbitol, which gives grapes, berries, plums, and pears their sweetness, is a humectant, a substance that attracts water when applied to the skin, helping it absorb and retain moisture. It’s a natural treatment for dry skin and can be helpful regardless of your skin tone.
Fueling your body with natural sources of moisture is especially effective when combined with using appropriate creams and lotions.
6. Care For Your Face
I am meticulous about my skin care routine, especially on my face. Otherwise, it’s the first place to show signs of aging. If you’re brand new to the world of skincare, these products are essential:
Apply retinol (Vitamin A) moisturizer, such as Wrinkle Recovery Serum
Use a high-quality Neck Restoring Cream for skin tightening
Be vigilant about using natural sunscreen, and avoid being outside during the time of day when the sun is most direct.
7. Switch Out Facial Products
Ditch the harsh soaps and cleansers and switch them with gentler ones. Also, skip any toners that contain alcohol as these will dry out your skin and increase the appearance of fine lines. Remember to moisturize day and night – it’s well worth the few moments it takes to apply a moisturizer twice a day.
If you would like to know more about the skin care products I personally use, then I’m thrilled to share with you my anti-aging product line.
These products are essential in my personal skin-health regimen, and I use them every day. I am so excited to help you simplify your skincare routine and get powerful results from the most essential ingredients your skin needs.
8. Care for Your Hair
When you were younger you might have had thick hair, but part of the aging process is thinning hair, so consider styles and products that add volume to the hair . Also, use deep conditioners on a regular basis to nourish and stimulate resulting in more healthy hair.
You’ve got some great options for a youthful appearance based on the right haircut. I particularly love the way short hair looks on women over 60.
What about color? You can have a lot of fun with your hair color. I put together a list of the best hair colors for women over 60 – it goes beyond the sandy blonde we see so much of!
Want to keep your natural gray? You can wear grey hair without looking old!
9. Smile Often & Care for Your Teeth
Smiling instantly makes you look more youthful. Healthy, white teeth are attractive and can boost your inner confidence.
But what if you’re not proud of your teeth?
Neglected teeth can lead to gum disease and gingivitis, not to mention they have a significant negative impact on your confidence. What can you do when you’re afraid to show your smile?
Start small and whiten your teeth. It’s very affordable and easy to whiten your teeth from home. While other dental procedures to improve your smile vary in cost, they are worth it. Talk to your dentist about what would be a good starting place and go from there.
10. Take Care of Your Hands
The back of your hands have very gentle skin, so it’s important to show them some TLC. The back of your hands will show signs of aging due to sun exposure and overall use!
Use hand cream regularly and exfoliate your hands with lemon and salt. And don’t forget to apply sunscreen when you go outdoors!
