Tips on Looking Younger
By: Jenn Falik
How to look at least ten years younger? We asked Beauty and Style Expert, Jenn Falik to give us the scoop.Jenn: There are some very simple, little things you can do for yourself everyday to keep yourself young that won't cost a fortune, starting with your skin. It's the first thing people notice about you...so its KEY to make sure you take care of it. Keep your regimens up every single day. Use gentle cleansers, remove makeup before you go to bed to unclog your pores and USE an ultra-hydrating moisturizer. My favorite little magic in a jar is L'Oral Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition. Its an anti-sagging, ultra-nourishing moisturizer. Use it in the morning and at night. It's actually packed with calcium and a nutrient complex that leaves your skin deeply hydrated, nourished, and supple. People actually noticed instant improvements in their skin when they used it. Q: What about our hair and makeup?
Jenn: It's amazing what a great cut can do! Great hair instantly updates your look and can seriously take years off! Scope out a few mags at the supermarket checkout and see how the celebs are wearing their hair, see what the trends are, look at the colors too. Some simple highlights can really make a difference and brighten up your face. Talk to your stylist about what will look good on you and go for it! And if your stylist doesn't know how to do it then it's time for a new stylist so make sure they know what the latest styles are and how to do them.
With makeup, you just want to keep it light, don't cake it on that makes you look older! Stay away from harsh dark liners. Just keep everything light and lightweight. This season we're seeing lots of bright pinks, corals, and soft neutrals, glosses...which are great options. Some light shimmer shadows on the eyes, as opposed to dark mattes colors.Also keeping your teeth white is HUGE. As you age your teeth can tend to yellow so having a really white smile is going to make your mouth look that much healthier and much more youthful. I like the tooth whitening kit from GoSmile. You use it in the morning, use it at night and it will make your teeth several shades whiter in just a few days. So when you look into the mirror and see these luminous pearly whites staring back at you, it will definitely make you look and feel younger.Q: Clothing advice--what do you wear...or not to look younger?
Jenn: Just like your teeth, opt for white! Diane Keaton--the icon for looking amazing and younger than she is, is always in white. A crisp white shirt is always in style and it really brightens you. Try going a little trendy with a military jacket (or scarf) and pair it with a great pair of jeans. Dressing younger, doesn't mean you have to dress wild and crazy and look like a kid. It just means, (just like your hair) incorporate some of the trends into your wardrobe. And you don't have to spend a fortune..you can go to stores like Target or Kohl's and find trendy, stylish things. Also looking thinner and in shape is a sure fire way to look younger! Yummie Tummie helps you with that. You wear it under your clothes or alone and it looks like a regular tank, but actually shapes your entire waistline and takes off inches! Its amazing the difference. Q: Any other final tips?Jenn: Yes take some time to pamper yourself, so you feel good from the inside out as well. Whether it's a quick manicure or pedicure, a bubble bath...and get enough sleep. When you feel good, rested and pampered, you look your best.
