Ten Years Younger On A Budget
These make-up and skin care tips will take years off your face in just minutes. Whether you’re thirty, forty, fifty or sixty, these tips are guaranteed to give you a more youthful appearance almost instantly. While these techniques are subtle, everyone will notice that you look younger and more vibrant.
Youthful skin has a natural, healthy glow. You can achieve a youthful glow with this blusher trick. Forget about defining your cheekbones. Older women who use this technique tend to hollow out their faces and the result is a tired-looking complexion. Smile when you apply your blush and dust your blusher in circles only the apples of your cheeks. Use bright blush shades such as bubble gum pink or a bright peachy color. Then blend out the edges of the circles, leaving the center bright.
Nothing makes a woman look older than faded, sparse eyebrows. If your eyebrows are thinning and turning gray, invest in an eyebrow pencil to return color and fill in the thin spots. Choose a shade that matches your natural hair color for the best results.
Natural, glossy lips add shine and sparkle to your face. If you’ve got wrinkles around your mouth, don’t use dark lipstick shades that can bleed into the cracks. To get youthful-looking lips, line your upper lip with a lip liner a shade darker than your natural lip color. Then line the center only of your bottom lip. Blend the liner in and apply a nude shade lip gloss.
Injectable wrinkle fillers work well but can be expensive and the results last about six months. While these fillers are effective at removing deep lines that run from the nose down to the corners of the mouth, there’s also another more economical way to fill your wrinkles after you receive injections and make your appearance last longer. When the lines began to reappear a few months later, try one of the topical, over-the-counter wrinkle-filling serums made from the same, injectable-grade formula. After using the topical version for three days, you may find that the results were almost identical to the injectable fillers and all for a fraction of the price.
Vitamin E does wonders for aging skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. Apply a dab of vitamin E under the eyes and on crows feet and let it soak in over night. Your wrinkles will be less noticeable in the morning.
Though microdermabrasion treatments are quite effective, this may not be in your current budget. Here are some other steps you can take if you are on a budget:
-After you wash your face, gently rub your skin with a damp washcloth.
-This gentle technique will help remove dead skin cells and give your skin a vibrant glow.
Remember to smile often. When you’re happy and feeling good, you project a more youthful appearance.
