7 Beauty Tips for Looking Younger
Ever since Eve took that first bite of the
Apple, the human race has been obessed with
Beauty.
The truth is we begin the aging process just as
Soon as we pop out of the womb. Every day of
Our lives our bodies slough off and regenerate
New cells. The speed at which that process
Takes place when we are children is vastly
Different as we get older.
Every day you are bombarded daily with
Commercial messages and beauty tips that
Attempt to lure you into believing that the
Most recent miracle drug is just what you need
To fight off the ravages of Mother Nature.
We are living longer as a whole. Singularly,
That can be a curse or a blessing, depending on
Your perspective.
The best route to natural beauty and healthy
Skin is to take care of what you have. Sounds
Simple, doesn't it? The truth is that your skin
Takes a beating from the environment every
Single day.
Here are some of our favorite
Beauty tips for keeping your skin fresh and
Healthy:
1: Stay hydrated and do it with plenty of
Water! That does not mean soda, caffeine or any
Other type of liquid, even if it is low cal.
Soda (even diet soda) has a high concentration
Of sodium. Sodium retains fluids. You need
Fluid that will hydrate and flush your body
Free of toxins.
Make sure you are drinking at
Least 8 glasses a day!
2: Protect your skin from harmful ultra violet
(UV) rays. We all love the sun. We love being
In it and we love having a beautiful tan. The
Truth is you can poison yourself with too much
Sunshine.
UV rays cause skin cancer and if that
Isn't bad enough it causes your skin to age
Faster than it should, contributing to
Unsightly wrinkles. If you must play in the
Sun, make certain you are using an adequate sun
Screen. Don't leave home without it!
3: Keep your skin clean. Use a soft warm cloth.
Skin does not require scrubbing. You will do
More harm than good if you do.
4: The best cure for wrinkles is to never have
Them in the first place! If you are like most
Of us, you didn't listen to your Mom when she
Tried to tell you to stay in the shade, stand
Up straight and stop squinting!
5: Eat healthy. Knowing how and what to eat,
Can make a huge difference in how you feel.
Improper eating habits can cause depression,
Weight gain, illness and an overall lethargy.
Weight gain causes your skin to stretch. As you
Get older, it loses it's elasticity and you're
Left with sagging skin.
The best solution to this is to maintain a
Proper weight.
A rule of thumb for eating habits are...don't
Eat more calories than you consume.
Don't go
One single day without doing something extra
And physical for at least 30 minutes per day.
This can be three ten minute walks. Or 30
Minutes of vigorous aerobics, or 12 minutes of
Weight lifting and 18 minutes of walking.
6: Don't worry, be happy.
A happy outlook
Appears to trigger the release of endorphins.
Endorphins relax the cardiovascular system and
Cytokines which alert the immune system to pay
Attention in detecting abnormalities like
Cancer cells. Listen carefully to yourself. If
You have put yourself down since childhood,
Over a lifetime, negative subliminal messages
Can take their toll by turning you into a
Pessimist.
Spend one week writing down the
Phrases you use in your "self talk". Chances
Are you will find that you repeat a dozen or so
Phrases over and over again that reinforce that
Negative image. If you know about them, you can
Change them. Outer beauty and inner joy go hand
In hand.
Here are a few quick tips for increasing joy,
Hope and optimism that will work no matter what
Your age:
Make a list of at least 50 great things that
Happen to you every day.
Laugh a lot. You'll heal your body and your
Mind.
Discover a new challenge each month.
Try meditating for just five minutes each day.
7: Sex After 50. Ha! How many of you jumped
Ahead to this section?
The importance of physical intimacy actually
Depends on the couple. An alarming number of
Men used to give up on sex after 60 and many
Women used to feel that their sex life ended
With menopause.
Thankfully, that is no longer
The case.
Sex at middle age can actually become better
And more satisfying than ever before. Maturity
Gives a couple more experience in lovemaking.
The children are usually grown and left home.
The pressures of building a career and day to
Day life are usually less stressful than in
Younger years.
Is beauty really skin deep?
The answer is yes and no. It's a paradox,
Isn't it? True beauty begins from the inside
Out. Don't you wish there was some way to
"wriggle your nose" and regain that soft skin
You had as a child? Well, until someone comes
Up with the true "Fountain of Youth" we are
Stuck with what we have.
Just remember that getting older doesn't have
To mean getting old.
