Even if you feel younger than 50, your body may look that age, or worse, even older by several years. If you want to look younger, be mindful of lifestyle choices, nutrition and self-care between the ages of 40 and 50.If you cannot achieve the desired effect naturally, there are some beauty treatments that you can take advantage of.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Change Your Lifestyle

1. 1 Exercise Sport is important at any age, but it especially helps to keep fit as you approach 50. Incorporate cardio and strength training into your workout plan. Cardio will help keep the blood flowing, and strength training will help tighten the saggy skin associated with age.
   • Improved blood circulation nourishes the skin with oxygen and nutrients.
   • Exercise also increases collagen production in the body and promotes the removal of free radicals.
   • Cardio can help you lose weight, and losing those extra pounds will reduce your age by several years.
2. 2 Be less nervous and do not worry about trifles. Stress contributes to the formation of wrinkles and has a profound effect on the condition of your skin. Relaxation will not be able to remove the wrinkles that have already appeared, but it will be able to prevent the skin from aging too quickly.
   • A simple trick is to laugh more throughout the day. Laughter lowers the level of stress hormones in the body and relaxes the muscles in the face. If you have nothing to laugh with, search for jokes on the Internet or watch a comedy.
   • Plus, you need 6 to 8 hours of sleep. Dark bags under the eyes add age, but getting enough sleep solves this problem. Remember that some types of allergic reactions also cause dark circles under the eyes, so keep your allergies under control and avoid contact with allergens or take antihistamines (with a doctor's prescription, of course). What's more, sleep decreases the stress hormone levels in the body, which is also good, as the stress hormone makes the skin less elastic and healthy.
3. 3 Maintain your posture. It's a simple trick, but an even posture builds self-confidence, and self-confidence is associated with youth. Straighten your shoulders, raise your head, and you will throw off a few years in a minute.
4. 4 Cleanse your skin. Use mild exfoliating scrubs and skin peels one to three times a week. When exfoliating, dead skin cells are removed, thereby stimulating the growth of new cells. As a result, your skin looks cleaner, more elastic and younger looking.
5. 5 Moisturize your skin and lips. With age, the skin becomes drier, and dry and thin skin is more prone to wrinkles. Use a special moisturizer for your face, do not put hand cream on your face. Hand cream can be rougher and can cause a rash on your face. Yes, acne can appear even at this age with the use of the wrong care product! Use a sunscreen hand cream to help prevent age spots. Pat dry your face after showering and apply face cream immediately while the skin is still moisturized. A patting motion is better, as wrinkles and bags under the eyes appear faster with the wiping motion, and the skin becomes thinner and less elastic with age.
   • Also, you should use a moisturizing lip balm to keep your lips healthy and full. Lip augmentation lipsticks and lip glosses are also sold.
6. 6 Protect your skin. The sun's ultraviolet rays damage and age the skin. Prevent this by applying sunscreen before going outside. Also wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for more sun protection. Sun damage can cause freckles or skin cancer, so avoid exposure to sunlight.
   • For the same reason, do not use tanning beds. Tanning in a tanning bed dries out the skin and promotes the appearance of wrinkles, making you look older.
7. 7 Do not smoke. Smoking causes wrinkles and yellow teeth and fingers. Getting rid of this bad habit will not turn back the clock, but at the very least, it will help slow down the aging process.

Method 2 of 5: Change Your Diet

1. 1 Consume more antioxidants. Free radicals are constantly appearing in your body, which accelerate the aging process. Antioxidants fight free radicals, contain them, and even reverse some of the signs of aging.
   • Good sources of antioxidants include berries and other colored fruits, nuts, dark chocolate, coffee, fruit juices, boiled vegetables, and legumes.
2. 2 Limit your sugar intake. Excessive sugar in the body triggers the glycation process, and at the same time the amount of collagen in the skin decreases. If this happens, the skin becomes less elastic and more prone to wrinkles.
3. 3 Limit alcohol consumption. A glass of wine every few days won't hurt, but drinking too much alcohol can lead to a variety of health problems. Take care of your health to prolong youth.
4. 4 Stock up on other anti-aging foods. In addition to the foods already listed above, eat foods that provide you with the vitamins and minerals your body needs to combat age-related changes.
   • Eat plenty of zinc-rich oysters. Zinc is needed for skin regeneration.
   • Olive oil and avocado contain saturated fats that help prevent wrinkles.
   • Foods containing water, such as watermelon or cucumber, provide hydration to the skin.
   • Guava is rich in vitamin C and helps replenish collagen levels.
   • Sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, which fights dry skin and improves cell-to-cell communication.
   • Women also need to consume more vegetables, soy, red clover tea, and flaxseed. All this is a good source of phytoestrogens that fight against skin aging.
   • Eat less white rice and white bread and replace it with brown rice and whole grain bread.

Method 3 of 5: Beauty Tips for Women

1. 1 Wear scarves. For women, one of the most noticeable age signs is a double chin. Stylishly knotted fashionable scarves can hide this flaw and rejuvenate you for several years.
   • Choose a lightweight scarf with a simple cut and avoid scarves with unnecessary ruffles and embellishments. The point is to cover your neck without drawing undue attention to it.
   • Do not get carried away with heavy scarves and high collars, as they give the neck an overly chunky look.
2. 2 Color your hair. Gray hair immediately betrays your age. Check with your hairdresser and choose a dye that will give your hair a youthful look without damaging it.
   • Do not dye your hair at home, as the chemicals in regular hair dyes dry out and harm your hair.
   • Instead, choose shades that are close to your natural hair color before graying.
3. 3 Get a new hairstyle. Talk to your hairdresser about what works best for you. Remember that hair weakens with age. Therefore, long hair looks thinner and more unhealthy than short hair when you are over 50.
   • If you have curly hair, take advantage of this. Curls at this age give a fresher and more youthful look. Moreover, hair straightening harms them more and more with age.
   • Think about bangs. Bangs mask age-related skin imperfections. Prefer long, light, or oblique bangs over heavy and straight
   • Add volume to your hair at the salon. This will help straighten gray hairs and give the rest of your hair a healthy, youthful look.
   • Consider a softer hairstyle. Coarse hairstyles like straightened hair or oblique hairstyles don't look good on older women, while soft hairstyles and wavy hair soften the face and are much more attractive. Browse the magazines with hairstyles and choose your option. Cut the hairstyle you are interested in and bring it to your hairdresser. Not all hairstyles will suit you, so it's best to check with a trusted stylist.
4. 4 Use a small amount of makeup. Of course, you want to mask all age-related changes by applying more makeup, but, as a rule, the less makeup, the better your appearance will be.
   • Opt for lip gloss, pencils or lip stain products. Do not use lipstick in bright colors. If you have wrinkles around your lips and the lipstick might run out, draw a pencil around the outline. The shade of the pencil should be as close to the shade of the lipstick as possible if you don't want the outline to be visible.
   • Choose a blush that matches your skin tone, and apply it high on your cheekbones, away from your nose so as not to draw attention to aging skin. Use a powder blush, liquid blush is more difficult to apply and gives a less natural look.
   • Do not use products with a shine or shimmery effect.
   • Use eye shadow instead of traditional eyeliner. If you have heavy eyelids, then the shadows will be misaligned and this technique will not work. In this case, the gel eyeliner that comes with the brush will work for you. Draw the line as close to the lashes as possible. The line should be thin, not thick. Choose dark gray or dark brown, pure black will be too dark. Your eye makeup should look softer and more delicate.
5. 5 Pluck your chin hair either yourself or do a professional waxing. In older women, chin hair often begins to grow. If you find it troublesome to remove this hair all the time on your own, you can use the services of a professional, but it is more expensive, and there is no guarantee of obtaining the desired result.
6. 6 Wear false eyelashes. If your eyelashes have lost their appearance with age, use false or eyelash extensions to give your eyes a youthful look. Opt for a natural style, as a glamorous option will look ridiculous.
7. 7 Make your brows a little darker. In young people, eyebrows are often darker and lose their color with age. So if your eyebrows have lightened, tint them with an eyebrow pencil and blend the color with a brush to give them a natural look. You can also use special eyebrow shadows available from the store. Some eyebrow kits have stencils to help you apply the eye shadow correctly. Don't overdo it, start with lighter shades and gradually darken. This makes it easier to give the eyebrows the desired shade, otherwise you can overdo it, go to wash and start all over again.
8. 8 Pluck your eyebrows. Remove any hairs that have become too long. You can also pluck the gray hairs, or dye them a couple of shades darker than your hair.
   • One of the biggest mistakes is to completely pluck the eyebrows and then draw them with a pencil or get a tattoo. Thus, you will add years to yourself instead of looking younger.

Method 4 of 5: Beauty Tips for Men

1. 1 Do not slick your hair over your bald spot or wear wigs. If you start to go bald, you will want to hide your bald spot by combing the remaining hair on top of it or wearing a wig. Both options are impractical as they are highly visible. Moreover, due to your desperate attempts to hide your bald head, you will appear to others older than you really are.
   • The best solution is to have a short haircut. Short hair looks neater and the bald spot becomes less visible. Moreover, since men of all ages love to get their hair cut to zero, such a hairstyle will not speak of your age.
2. 2 Try to balance your look. If facial hair continues to grow even after it has fallen out, you can try a neatly trimmed mustache, beard, or a combination.
   • Although the lack of facial hair gave you a youthful look when you were younger, at an older age it will distract the attention of others from the bald spot on the top of your head.
   • In addition, a certain brutality is associated with facial hair.Age may be imprinted on your body, but facial hair compensates for this, giving you a strong and healthy look.
   • Often, the beard turns gray before the hair on the head. If this is very frustrating for you, you can purchase a special coloring kit (sold in cosmetics stores) and dye your beard and mustache. Just follow the instructions for the kit.
3. 3 Color your hair. If you still have a lot of hair but it is gradually turning gray, talk to your hairdresser about dyeing your hair. Opt for shades that are close to the natural color you had when you were young. If your hair has been gray or completely white for a long time, you may want to stick with the salt and pepper color as it will give you a more natural look.
   • Talk to a hair care consultant before deciding to change your hair color. The finished dyes may contain chemicals that will subsequently weaken your hair. If you dye your hair yourself, follow the directions carefully for the best results.
4. 4 Trim your ear and nose hair. Ear and nose hair grows faster when you reach 40-50 years old, so the hair sticking out from there is a direct indicator of your age.
   • Plus, you may have gray hair sticking out of your collar. You need to prune them every few days. You may also need to remove your neck hair every time you shave.

Method 5 of 5: Professional beauty treatments

1. 1 Use retinol cream. Retinol creams promote the production of collagen in the body, and collagen renews the skin, making it younger and healthier, reduces wrinkles and age spots.
   • You can buy an over-the-counter retinol cream, but prescription options are more potent and provide better results.
   • Pay attention to your nails. Determine if they are normal, or are they starting to turn yellow and thin? If they turn yellow, it could mean you have a fungus. It heals easily and your nails will look good again. Talk to your doctor, he will prescribe the necessary medications for you.
2. 2 It's never too late to fix your teeth, so if you have crooked teeth or a few missing teeth, visit your dentist. He may offer you “invisible” brackets to align your teeth. Beautiful teeth make everyone attractive, regardless of age.
3. 3 Whiten your teeth. Yellowed teeth are another age sign. You can use home whitening methods for a short-term effect, but for a long-term result, you need to use the services of a dentist. Remember that certain foods add color to your teeth, just like smoking. If you want your teeth to stay white, avoid food and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, for example.
4. 4 Try cosmetic acupuncture. Although acupuncture is a complementary medicine method, you need to find a licensed therapist for this procedure. It is a much more natural treatment than beauty shots and has no side effects.
   • Acupuncture needles are inserted into the face, neck, and head. They stimulate skin cells and improve blood circulation so that your skin starts producing more collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin in these areas becomes denser and younger-looking.
5. 5 Learn about laser and radio frequency treatments. Procedures that use laser and radio waves are aimed at the formation of microcracks in the skin, which then begin to stimulate collagen production.
   • Radio wave therapy can be painful, but if you do it, your skin will look firmer and younger for the next six months.
6. 6 Try botox shots. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected directly into the skin where they are distributed and fill in wrinkles. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out for a short period of time.
   • There are a variety of fillers available for these shots, so check with your doctor to see which one works best for you. Surface fillers are good for small wrinkles and produce less puffiness, but deeper fillers may be needed to smooth out deep wrinkles.
7. 7 Give yourself sclerotherapy. It is aimed at reducing the vascular networks. Since spider veins are associated with age, removing them will help you look younger.
   • This procedure is painful enough, but new technologies make it faster and easier.
8. 8 Consider photodynamic rejuvenation. During this procedure, light pulses are combined with a suitable product to remove age spots. After two or three sessions, the skin that has undergone photoaging takes on a look closer to its natural age.
   • Remember that while this procedure has a specific purpose, it can also be used successfully to remove precancerous cells.
9. 9 Do dry cleaning. During this procedure, the acid burns the outer layer of the skin. This removes dead cells and stimulates the growth of new cells, which makes the skin smoother and more youthful.
   • Trichloroacetic acid is used most often for cleaning.
   • Such cleansing can cause significant damage to the skin, which will require several weeks of treatment, but the new drugs give good results with less pain and discomfort.
