Age is just a number, isn’t it? That is indisputable. But growing older comes with aging. If it were possible to remain young forever, many would not mind. It is not that difficult to be an ageless beauty. The secret lies in daily habits and lifestyles. According to research, these are the best beauty secret to stay ageless:
1. Wear SPF daily
Sunscreen isn’t just for holidays. SPF should not be weather dependent, but part of your daily health and skincare regime. Harmful rays can still penetrate the skin on cloudy and overcast days. Daily use of SPF 50 helps protect your skin from harmful rays that damage and age the skin.
2. Nourish your hair
Take care of your hair. Receding hairlines speeds up the aging process, Use dry shampoo preferably then condition for adding body and volume to your hair.
3. Take care of your eyes
If you must wear sun shades, please do on those sunny days. If you suddenly find yourself squinting at your book or struggling to read labels in shops, don’t just try to ignore it. It could be something called presbyopia, which is incredibly common and often happens in our forties. It occurs when the lens inside the eye naturally becomes thicker and stiffens over time, making it harder to focus on objects close up.
4. Exfoliate
As you enter your 40s, the skin’s ability to recover slows. To get rid of dead skin cells that are dulling skin, use a gentle exfoliator after cleansing twice a week. This will also encourage oxygen and nutrients to the surface of the skin for a brighter complexion.
5. Groom your eyebrows
Brows thin and fade with age. Combined with all that over-plucking we did in the 90s and those eyebrows can start to look a little sparse. Using an eyebrow pencil can be too harsh. Use a powder, even an eyeshadow powder, that’s really soft, and just filling in little brushstrokes with a small angled brush. Don’t over-pluck and keep them tidy by just trimming unruly hairs.
6. Take care of your teeth
Do you know that a white, bright smile can instantly boost appearance? Daily flossing and regular visits to the hygienist as well as the dentist will help remove any plaque build-up that could cause gum disease. For a whiter smile,use good toothpastes that help to remove surface stains and protect against future staining. Bear in mind that any foods that significantly stain your clothes, like coffee and red wine, will have the same effect on your teeth.
7. Sleep
Try to establish a sleep routine uninterrupted. Keep your wind-down routine as similar as possible each night, turn the light off at the same time and get up at the same time every morning, even on the weekend. Staying consistent with your bedtime routine means you’re giving your body cues that it’s time to fall asleep, helping you sleep well.
