What can I do to look and feel younger?

Question

Im 32 and Im noticing things...

Answer 1

Haircut

Blunt cuts make you look younger and perkier, but go in for a blunt cut only if you do not have frizzy hair, or your hair will look messy. However, if you are in control of your frizzes, go for it! Blunt cuts look best if you have straight hair.

Smooth, well maintained hair makes you look younger than messy, rough or dull hair. Make sure you snip off all split ends and trim hair regularly, so your hair is in good condition.




Hair Colour

Needless to say, conceal all strands of grey. Even if your face is smooth, wrinkle free and ageless, those grey strands are an immediate giveaway.

At times, blonde highlights in your hair make you look older than you really air, especially if you let the highlights dry out your hair, or if you go too light. Burnished, red highlights can make your hair look healthier and shinier than blonde highlights. You can go brown or a few shades lighter than your original hair.

If you are fair complexioned, you could try colouring your hair jet black. The contrast between black hair and light skin can look rather striking, and black hair makes you look younger than light hair.




Weight

Taking a few pounds off always makes you look younger. However, if you lose too much weight, you may start looking pulled down, drawn and tired, and consequently older. Being too thin or overweight can make you look older. You should aim to be within the right weight bracket for your height, or maybe the bracket below that. Thus, if your height is 5 foot 5 inches and you are a woman, you should weigh between 55 to 60 kg. However, even if you weigh anywhere between 50 to 54 kg, that should be fine. Don’t go any lower than that.




Toning Up

It doesn’t matter if you are thin, if you are not toned. Even if you are skinny but have loose thighs, upper arm flab, your body will start showing your age.
Tone your arms
tighten your tummy
and trim your thighs




Exercise

Exercise regularly. This gives you a healthy glow. In addition, if your face has a tendency to bloat, or if you are prone to puffiness below the eyes, regular exercise should help reduce that, making your face look fresher than ever! Combine regular exercise with frequent intake of water. Drink at least ten to twelve glasses of water everyday to flush out the toxins. Swimming is great exercise, and in addition to giving you a cardiovascular workout, it tones almost every part of your body. If you swim, you really don’t need any other exercise.




Compact Powder

Avoid caking on compact powder. Often, women apply far too much compact powder with the result that their faces look pasty. Compact powder dries the face, causing fine lines to stand out more. Even if you have no lines, if you apply too much powder, it may appear as if you do. If you do apply compact powder, make sure it is not lighter than your skin colour, and that you apply moisturizer as well. Your best bet would be to apply a dusting of compact powder only on those areas that tend to shine, such as your nose, forehead and chin.




Moisturise

Moisturise daily, and don’t forget your neck and hands.

1) Begin eating a healthier diet. For women, a basic 2000 calorie lifetsyle (not diet) is perfect. If you need to lose weight, a 1500-1800 calorie lifestyle will assist with that. Low-sodium, low-sugar, and low-fat too! All these things can present problems with the skin if there is an over-abudnace in the blood-stream. Think of this, "Garbage in, garbage out." Whatever you take in, will make you feel like crud until it leaves your body; and will leave behind residual crud in the bloodstream, unless the crud is eliminated or modifed in the lifestyle in moderation. Whatever comes out when crud goes in, will affect the appearance, elasticity, and glow of the skin. Garbage in will only cause the skin to become sallow looking, prone to breakouts, and wrinkles increasing. Good stuff in will cause the skin to become more glowing, less prone to breakouts, and wrinkles will become less noticable.

2) Exericse more. If you already do, bump it up a notch. If you don't, start out walking for 3 days a week 15 mins. per day, and after a month or so of that consistent activity, bump it up a bit say to 5 days a week for 30 mins a day. Exercise makes you feel great, and really helps you look better even skin wise.

3) Drink at least (no less) than 8 - 8oz. glasses of water per day. If you are over 200 lbs (which I am certain you are not, I just throw that disclaimer in there), increase that to about 10 - 8 oz. glasses of water a day.

4)Take a multi-mineral/ multi-vitamin/ phytonutrient complex. Contact me if you want to know what I use. Talk about awesome vitamins that help with overall health, not just skin!

5) Start using a facial system to help decrease the signs of aging. If you would like to know what I use, contact me through my profile and we can chat further. It is awesome!

Answer 3

Being an older guy, I can tell you what I do to stay young (in no particular order).

Eating healthy foods, drink lots of water, exercise, read a lot (keep up with current events, popular culture, etc.), listen to different music every day, try to keep an open mind (you don't have to accept the unacceptable, but try to understand it or their point of view), change your daily routine (take a different route to work, comb your hair with the other hand, etc...), stay spiritually connected, watch sunrises and sunsets (listen and feel nature).

And finally, the most important thing (for me to stay young), listen, learn and play with my five-year-old son, on HIS level and point-of-view.
