Look Younger Now with a Few Simple Tips!
Obviously wrinkles and an uneven skin tone can make us all look older, but we often miss the more subtle factors that age us. The good news is these issues can be simple to fix and will give you a more youthful appearance today! It all starts by taking a good look in the mirror…
Check Your Makeup - Many women continue to use the same face powder or foundation for years. Our skin tone and texture changes as we age, so the makeup you used 5 years ago may not be the right the right choice today. Also, the wrong shade or formulation of makeup will sit on top of the skin looking obvious and showing off wrinkles even more!
Sometimes we choose too dark a shade trying to give our face a more tan or bronzed look. Your base makeup should match the skin on your jaw line as closely as possible. If you want a sun-kissed glow, use a bronzing powder or gel sparingly on top of your well matched base. Only apply to the areas naturally highlighted by the sun, like your cheeks, top of nose and middle of forehead making sure to blend well.
We recommend mineral based powders and cream foundations for makeup. Contact our office for a free consultation.
Hair on Your Face – Whether it’s a dark mustache or peach fuzz, hair on women’s faces makes them look more matronly. Consider a series of hair laser treatments on the hair that is dark.
Just a few treatments can significantly reduce its growth. We do not recommend waxing as it can lead to pigmentation on the upper lip over time and you cannot wax if you use Retin-A (which you should be doing if you can).
For peach fuzz, consider using a “feather flamingo.” This little shaver works like charm, removing hair without feeling stubbly or making the hair darker or thicker. It’s a simple tool that you won’t be able to live without. We sell them at our office and on this website.
Brows – To make your eyes look more open, have your eyebrows properly shaped. The wrong shape, over plucked or overgrown brows distract from your eyes and can look severe. Don’t detract from one of your most beautiful features!
Eyelashes – One of our most youthful attributes. No longer do we have to envy those lucky people born with naturally long lashes. Today, we have eyelash growers like Latisse available. This product can lengthen, thicken and darken your lashes. Contact us for more information.
Hope these tips are helpful. They will especially enhance a good skincare program, so don’t hesitate to visit a dermatologist to find the right products for you!
