However, below are 8 simple tips that can help maintain your good looks and preserve your outer beauty!
#1- Say NO to tanning salons and spending hours unprotected in the sun. The sun has been linked to causing wrinkles, age spots and skin damage. Over time, tanning salons will ruin your skin's protective properties and tarnish your good looks.
#2- Use a sunscreen with a MINIMUM of 15 daily and make sure it includes UVA and UVB protection.
#3- Eye cream and a good anti-aging moisturizer used daily along with a good intake of water will keep your skin hydrated and looking healthy from the inside out. I recommend this cream from SBT Seabuckthorn on my mature clients. I also recommend this hand cream for daily use.
#4- Less is more. Stay away from eyeshadows that have a metallic, glitter or super frosted finish as they draw attention to wrinkles. Instead choose satin and matte finishes for the eyes and cream finishes for the cheeks and skin.
#5- Love the look of eyeliner? Try switching to a pencil liner instead of liquid as it's more forgiving around fine lines.
#6- Eyebrows frame your face so don't be afraid to fill them in subtly. Fuller brows add to a more youthful look. Try powder fillers instead of pencils for a soft natural look.
#7- Mascara can really help lift the eyes so don't be afraid to apply 1-2 coats. If you aren't sure you want a bold look, try brown mascara instead of black.
#8- Lips can look dull with a darker lip shade except on those with darker skin. To try a fresh, youthful look, try a slightly lighter shade of lipstick or your favourite gloss in the centre of your lips which can help create the look of a fuller lip.
