The Secrets on How to Look Young

 

Getting old, minus the ugly wrinkles and fine lines that come with it, will not require an expensive surgical treatment of injectable filler or even the help of costly trainers and dieticians. We asked some of the experts to share their secrets in staying young. Most of their advice will help you look fabulous and fresh every day. By making small yet smart decisions daily, especially on your diet and vitamins supply, you can age gracefully without looking stressed.

 

Smile More Often

In one study, participants from different age brackets were asked to analyze a picture of diverse women and asked them to guess the right age of the women in the photo. People exhibiting a neutral expression will provide an accurate age result, and those showing signs of fear will look older. Those people with happy faces were given a younger rating than their current age. Moreover, smiling is a form of muscle retraining exercise that will improve the aesthetics of your face.

 

Eat Grapes

 

Berries, plums, pears, and grapes contain a compound called Sorbitol. This compound is considered a humectant. It gives the sweet taste of the fruits and can retain water, which makes your skin supple and smooth. It prevents moisture loss that will make your skin dry. As you know, dry skin will make you look older than your actual age.

 

Retouching Your Hair

 

One of the elements that make us look older would be our thinning hair. Try to find a product that can add volume to your hair. If the thinning of your hair is inevitable, the lighter color will make it less obvious. Try to ask for a deep conditioning hair treatment to prevent hair dryness. You should also find out the reason behind your hair loss and find the right treatment for them.

 

Make Sure to Keep Your Skin Clean and Moisturized

 

Moisturizing and cleaning your skin will protect it from harmful elements and guarantee its wellness. However, we do not recommend you to use your daily soap as it can dry your skin, especially for older people. We highly suggest that you choose a good cleanser that will gently cleanse your skin and not affect your skin's moisture level. Try to keep away from the toners, particularly those containing alcohol and astringent. Look for a quality moisturizer that you can apply during the day and before you sleep at night. Check the ingredients; if you cannot read the name of the component, then you should think twice before using it.

 

Eat Reds and Greens

 

Green vegetables contain a rich amount of Vitamin K, preventing bruising and pigmentation. Tomatoes have a high amount of lycopene that protects your skin from the harmful UV rays that can excessively damage your skin.

 

Oily Fish

 

Oily fish such as salmon is packed with an adequate source of dimethylaminoethanol. This compound can boost muscle tone, and it is a prevalent ingredient in premium quality skin creams. By eating oily fish at least twice every week, we can experience the same magic of this compound.
