These beauty tips are ones you have seen or heard before but just haven’t taken action. Women over 40 become set with their style and consider it their own. Now is the age to update what you consider your look. Its time to add shine back into your hair. Do something about the skin that is dulling and the fine lines forming around the eyes.
You may have all of this happening at once or maybe just one. You may be one of the lucky ones where there are outward signs that you are getting older. No matter what stage you are in here are somethings we should all do. Tackle the clothes. Do they really fit properly? Same review with bras. Update your clothing to this decade unless it is a classic piece. The colors should veer toward neutral. We don’t want boring so with color only one item you are wearing should be bright.
Take a long look in the mirror. Think about the woman you are now, today. There is nothing so beautiful as a woman of this age who knows who she is and is accepting and comfortable with it. Think of what you have accomplished and overcome. Ask yourself do the clothes, make up, hair and presence match?
We should look our beautiful best as much as possible. Presentable is not enough. You are sexy and vibrant. Women do not have much time for themselves so what they have has to count. The simplest way to get the best from what you have is to go to your favorite salon and let them know you are ready to update your style and look. Since they know you they will know what direction to move in.
As time moves forward skin can become dull and dry. It is important to drink at least eight glasses of water each day. Not tea, soda or juice, just plain water. This will help keep you hydrated. An exfoliant should be used once a week. When showering or bathing use warm water only. Skin need to retain water so pat skin dry and put on moisturizer right away.
Exercise is possibly the biggest gift you can give yourself. It will help bring back your glow. It helps keep some things from making a fast trip south. With weight training you can slow down, halt or even reverse the descent. Go for 30 minutes a day for three days a week. Do the strength training twice a week.
If you are still wearing the same hairstyle you had ten years ago it is time to update. It does not have to be drastic. Over 40 the hair should be no more than shoulder length. With age the color will fade or it may have started to gray. Do not go with a new solid color. Try highlights. If you want to cover gray this can be done with coloring and highlights as well.
The fine lines can be addressed by not making them as noticeable. Foundation should be lightweight so as not to define those lines. Powder needs to be used with a light hand as well. Light reflecting foundation works great. Lips should look soft and moist. Be sure to put a lip balm on before using lipstick. The point is to enhance your beauty. Bold colors are not needed and can be unflattering. With small changes you will look like a beautiful, polished woman.
Aging is unavoidable, though, the way we take care of ourselves can help us age gracefully. Hair removal, exercise, skin care, hairstyle and a trip to the hair salon can all help this process.
