7 Ways to Look Younger

Men and women are desperately searching for "Fountain of Youth"

remedies to make them look as young as they can. Unfortunately, many are

choosing medical treatments rather than searching for more healthy

alternatives.

There are some things you can do to look younger besides opting

for injections of Botox or invasive surgeries like liposuction and facelifts.

Take a look below at some of the "gentler" ways to seem younger than you

really are:

1. Dress Your Age – Almost nothing makes you look older than you are

than attempting to dress in the same style of clothing as your teenage

daughter or granddaughter. Dress your age and appear younger than

you are.

2. Sleep Your Way to Youth – Your best sleep happens during what is

called the "rejuvenation hours." Your face won’t reveal as many lines and

your eyes won’t be as puffy. If you’re in a habit of waking up at 3 or

4 o’clock in the morning, try meditation or take the natural herb,

melatonin before going to bed.

3. Your Diet Can Make You Younger -- Obesity can become a problem as

you grow older because of a slower metabolism. Keep your weight down,

make your skin glow and your blood healthy by eating foods with beneficial

properties.

4. Exercise Regularly – Nothing benefits your overall health like

having an exercise regime that you enjoy and perform on a regular basis.

No matter what exercise you choose, getting your body moving can drop the

years from your body and mind.

5. Use Makeup Sparingly – You’ll appear to be much younger than you

really are if you use makeup more to enhance your natural assets rather

than attempting to cover up the flaws. Get a professional makeup artist

to show you how to apply your makeup in the best and most flattering way.

6. Choose the Proper Hairstyle – Are you still wearing the same style

you had in the 70s – or is your hair dull or gray? Do yourself a favor and

visit a professional hairstylist and let him or her design a style that fits

your face and coloring.

7. Break Those Bad Habits – If you smoke or drink too much alcohol,

cut down or quit if possible. Too much alcohol will dry out your skin and

smoking will rapidly age your entire body.

In your quest to look and feel younger, don’t forget your "attitude."

Do what you can to keep yourself upbeat and positive – and for goodness sake,

don’t forget to smile.
