Steps

Part 1 of 4: Make the face look younger

  1. Choose a cleanser that's gentle on the skin. You do not need to use products with special formulas like those used by teenagers because aging skin no longer produces much oil. If the cleanser is too strong, it will strip away the natural oils that make skin dry and age faster. Choose products that are suitable for your age or formulated Mild good moisturizing. Women should apply moisturizers before make up.
    • Using a facial cleanser is still important as you get older because it removes chemicals from the skin caused by the effects of the environment or makeup, which causes aging if left on the skin for a long time.

  2. Moisturize the skin after cleansing. Moisturizing is a very important step in helping skin nourish itself. Dry skin ages faster if not moisturized. Choose a moisturizer against aging has a high percentage of active ingredients. If you are wondering which product to buy (because there are hundreds of varieties on the market), you can look for scientific reviews or research related to the product. Make sure the product you use is concentrated and deeply moisturizing, different from the product you used when you were younger.
    • Also keep in mind that moisturizers are not just for women. On the market today there are many similar products for men.

  3. Use sunscreen products every day. Many moisturizers also act as sunscreen because protecting the skin from the effects of UV rays every day is important to avoid sun damage. Sunlight is the main cause of premature aging, so dermatologists often recommend daily sunscreens with the lowest SPF of 15 to avoid wrinkles, pigmentation, and darkening. Besides, it also helps prevent skin cancer.
    • Not only do sunscreen products be applied to your face, you also need to apply it to your neck, chest and hands when going outside, even for a short period of time. This will prevent brown spots from appearing on the chest and hands. If you have to go out for a long time, you should apply sunscreen all over.

  4. Exfoliate dead skin cells. Gently exfoliate the skin to stimulate skin cells to regenerate, making the skin look youthful. Choose products for aging skin as the formula will be milder and less likely to dry out or cause damage to the skin. Exfoliation is also very effective as it makes the skin softer and brighter. For men, exfoliation before shaving will make shaving easier because the beard is more visible.
  5. Treat facial hair. For men, this will make you look more decent and less messy even as you get older; and for women it helps to hide age. Here are a few things that women and men should remember:
    • Man: Shave or trim the beard and always trim the hair from the nose and ears. You can buy nose hair clippers at the supermarket; it is easy to use and painless. Having a long beard will make you look older and more messy. Remember to trim your nose as well if you want to look younger.
    • Women: Facial hair sometimes appears after menopause due to changes in hormone levels. There are a number of things you can do to avoid this and conceal your aging like laser hair removal, waxing, waxing cream, or depilating and astringent with threads.
      • Women should also keep eyebrows looking thicker. As you age, your eyebrows will become thinner, so you should line them with a pen with the same color as your real eyebrows to always look youthful.
  6. Makeup keeps you young (for women). There are many makeup tips that help women to accentuate facial beauty and hide aging. The trick here is to conceal the blemishes on the face and give accents to highlights, such as the eyes. Here are a few tips to try:
    • Use a cream concealer. Any concealer like wax or one that might melt will make you look older.
    • Hit the blush at the highest point of the cheekbones, but don't put the blush on the soles. As you age, the fat on your face is lost and your cheeks naturally sucked in. This will make you look older so you don't need to stand out with too many blushes.
    • Use brown eyeliner instead of black. As you get older, the color black will be more visible than the rest of the face. The brown color will create a subtle contour around the eyes.
    • Highlighting lashes. As you age, your lashes will naturally thin out and no longer curl, so you can improve by curling them or brushing a thick coat of mascara when possible.
    • Restricting lip accentuation. A pale lip color is a great combination for the face, but don't overstretch or use a bright lipstick as your lips will thin out as you age, and you shouldn't try too hard.

  1. Keep oral hygiene. Beautiful teeth will make you look younger and more attractive. Make sure you stick to your teeth care routine, including brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. If your teeth are not white or if you have dental problems, you should consult your dentist for advice. This way, you can use a professional whitening service or get treatment for problems such as cavities, erupting teeth or yellowing teeth.
    • Using over-the-counter whitening products is also very effective, but you still need to talk to your dentist before using it.
    • Your teeth reveal your age more than any other part of your body, so you should start implementing full dental care soon.
  2. Silver hair covered. This is not for everyone, as some people like gray or gray hair. Conversely, many people want to cover gray hair and on the market there are many types of hair dyes that help you to deal with that. It's best to choose a color that is quite similar to your real hair for a natural look. You can choose to dye your hair at a salon or buy a home-based hair product to save money. Keep in mind, however, that the dyes will damage your hair, so avoid regular use and add a product specifically designed for damaged or dyed hair.

      • Leave the hair a bit long to keep the facial features from being too rough. Don't let your hair grow too long, however, or you will look gaunt and older.
      • If you are bald, you should try shaving your head. This way, you will look younger and sexier instead of exposing bald hair.
  4. Dress in accordance with the age and physique of the body. Choosing a flattering outfit can make you slimmer and more stylish with minimal effort. This is also true for men, although men's bodies are not as diverse as women's. You won't be any younger if you wear a youth outfit that is half your age. On the contrary, dressing like that will make you look older. Therefore, please focus on choosing the right clothes friend.
    • Women do not need to show off their bodies to look younger, but just wear a stylish outfit that accents the curves but does not draw attention to the chest area.

Women should forget about collars and earrings of the same type that create a uniform look but will make you slightly older than when using trendy jewelry.
