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.
If
you think you look older than your actual age, the steps above will help you
look younger and feel better about yourself. What about you, what are some of
your secrets on how to look young. Let's discuss them in the comment section
