Okay, so not really instantly ...like right this second...but pretty darn fast! After years of interviewing top make up artists and skin care experts - including some of the world's best dermatologists, I've come up with this list of 8 things that every woman can do to look younger and prettier, and feel more confidant! So put on that red dress and get ready to GO!
Anti Aging Tip #1:
Never go to bed with make-up.
No matter how tired you are, no matter how late it is, take just 2 minutes to slather on and tissue off a facial cleanser and your skin will thank you. Not only will it help remove surface bacteria that could encourage breakouts, most make up is drying to the skin, so removing it will help reduce wrinkling while you sleep.
Anti Aging Tip # 2:
Never leave the house without sunscreen on your face.
Take this two minute step for enormous health benefits ( like reducing your risk of skin cancer) as well as protecting against aging. Sunscreen is the biggest gun in your wrinkle defense arsenal!
AntiAging Tip # 3 :
Protect your lips - and look younger and sexier!
Want those juicy, sexy, full Angelina lips? Then protect your pucker with a lip gloss or balm containing sunscreen. When lips are hydrated and protected they will automatically look fuller - and you'll look younger! You can capitalize on the protection if you swap out a matte lipstick for a high wattage gloss in a medium warm tones in colors that suit you. Do not, as Charla Krupp points out in the new book How Not To Look Old- automatically switch to pink lipstick. You will look like a cupie doll gone wild. Wear pink only if it's your color - and wear it in a sheer gloss.
Anti Aging Tip# 4:
Whiten your teeth.
It's the quickest, most inexpensive way to take years off your appearance, and give you a polished, well groomed look - for just minutes a day.
Anti Aging Tip# 5
Keep up with your hair coloring - and lighten up 1 to 2 shades every 5 years after 40. The 2 inches of "roots" look popularized on "Sex and the City" is going, going, gone! In it's place is more natural, highlighted color. And lighter is definitely more youthful - just a shade or two every 5 years or so will make a HUGE difference1 If you're wearing a shade you just can't bear to change, make sure you touch up those roots every 4 weeks .
Anti Aging Tip # 6:
Trade in your shower gel for a moisturizing bar of soap.
Did you ever wonder why the ingredient label on your shower gel is 2 inches long and filled with chemical terms you can't pronounce - while the average bar of beauty soap is just two lines long? Chemicals, dyes, foaming agents, and lots of drying alcohol are all things you skin doesn't need. Try a daily shower with a moisturizing soap - and see your entire body complexion come alive in just 14 days or less. And - you'll save a ton of money too!
Anti Aging Tip # 7
Wear a bronzer all year long.
While most gals think of that powder bronzer as a summer time treat, it's also the Hollywood secret that keeps many an aging starlet from looking her age - or letting on how little sleep she really gets! Just a quick pouf of powder on the bridge of your nose, the tops of your cheers, and round the outer rim of your forehead will give you a glow that will leave everyone wondering . . .is she in love . . . again ?
Anti Aging Tip # 8 :
Take a calcium/vitamin D supplement every day. While many women believe calcium is only important if you're pregnant - or post menopausal - the truth is gals of all ages need calcium. You probably already know calcium will help you maintain a strong and healthy skeleton - and protect you against broken bones. But you may not have realized that studies show women in their 20's need that protection as much as women in their 50's! But that's not all! The latest research shows getting adequate calcium may also help keep skin looking younger longer ! And since we're all staying out the sun, the vitamin D is essential to make sure the calcium you take is absorbed. Try it for a month - you'll see a difference!
