5 Tips: How To Look Younger Without Botox Or Surgery (Celebrity Beauty)

Monday, April 17, 2006
Eternal youth. That seems to be what so many beautiful people seem to be searching for. The ability to look unaffected by the passage of time. Wrinkle free faces. The body of a 60 year old that looks like a svelte twenty year old. You see that quite often in Hollywood.

First, there was plastic surgery Now there is botox. Where a toxin is injected into your face to paralyze your facial muscles, to erase the lines on your face.

Scary isn't it? Then again, if you were gorgeous in your youth, if your face were your fortune, wouldn't you do everything possible to preserve your youthful appearance for as long as possible.

Time is relentless. You get older every year. Your face and your body will age. But you can age beautifully. If you keep fit, exercise and watch your diet, your body can still be svelte late in life. It would get harder with time, but with enough discipline and effort, you can still keep your figure.

It is harder when it comes to your skin. Sure, there is botox and plastic surgery. An alternative you can turn to when nothing else works. Until then, there are less invasive, needle free means to erase wrinkles, or at very least to appear younger than you really are.

#1 Microdermabrasion

Have you ever tried clinical microdermabrasion. It is like a facial where the doctor blasts tiny crystals onto your face, to smooth your skin. You have to go for a few treatments but it is effective. Lines diminish. Even acne prone skin improves with this treatment. Best of all, the treatment does not burn your skin with acid and you don't look like an escapee from a horror movie during recovery time.

These days, you can even do that at home. There are even do it yourself microdermabrasion kits you can use in the comfort of your own home.

Other than physically erasing the lines on your face, you can appear younger if you dress, and act younger. An exuberant woman, full of life looks years younger than she actually is. Look at Diane Keaton, born in January 5, 1946 which makes her almost 60 years old. She certainly doesn't look her age. That brings us to the next few tips.

#2 Hairstyle

Rather than stick to a conservative hairstyle, go for a younger, more carefree look. You'll look years younger that way. It can be as simple as a change from a conservative side part to a younger, carefree center part. Or you can visit your hairdresser for a younger makeover.

#3 Fragrance

A young vibe makes you appear younger. A young fragrance makes you seem much younger than you really are. In a study, women who wore scents with pink grapefruit notes appeared, on average, 6 years younger than their actual age according to the men who were surveyed. Details about that can be found at http://www.perfume-online.org/PinkGrapefruitPerfumes.html

#4 Lighting

Finally, the lighting you appear in can make you look older or younger than you really are. In harsh bright, unflattering light, you could look years younger. In soft, gentle, flattering light, you look younger. Everyone looks better by candle light. Installing light dimmers, on every light in your home allows you to look younger at home. http://www.candleslighting.com/light-dimmers.htm explains why.

#5 Makeup

When all else fails, cheat. Use a makeup primer after your moisturizer to fill in all the lines on your face. Then apply makeup in a color that matches your skin tone exactly, over the primer for that flawless look. You might want to mix 2 makeup colors together for that ideal shade.

Here is where you can find home microdermabrasion kits to smooth away the lines and to clarify your skin.

Anti-aging Skin Products (Celebrity Beauty)

What are anti-aging skin products?

Anti- aging skin products have completely revolutionized the concept of skin care. If you are ‘blessed’ with a dry type of skin then you have the best reasons to feel worried and anti-aging products are absolutely essential for you. After washing your face your skin feels tight and stretched. There is this dull and lifeless face that stares at you when you look into the mirror. You are horrified with the discovery of those dreaded fine lines around your eyes, mouth and cheeks. You ask yourself “Am I aging? But isn’t it too early?” You start to panic and are unable to figure out what can you do to prevent such immature aging? Relax. You still have time to rectify those fine lines with the repeated and daily use of anti-aging skin products. Anti- aging skin products prevent general ageing of the skin by providing reinforced protection against daily aggression. These anti-aging products fight both visible and invisible signs of ageing. So arrest those wrinkles with these anti-aging skin products before they start showing up and drive you crazy.

How do I choose an anti-aging product that will suit my dry skin?

The market is flooded with a variety of anti- aging products and each one of them is suited for individual skin types. You have got to carefully choose the right anti-aging skin product that will ideally and specifically suit your dry skin type. Some key anti-aging ingredients that you must check out in the anti-aging products that specifically suit your dry skin are hyaluronic acid, anti-oxidant grape seed, essential oils (olive, rosemary, emu, etc), silk proteins, glycolic acids, alpha hydroxy acids, anti-aging vitamins A, C, E and D and many more such active principles that will smoothen out fine lines and hydrate your skin. Try to select anti-aging products with the above-mentioned ingredients that will soften your rough and dry skin and provide adequate hydration. Make sure that your anti-aging skin product gets quickly absorbed into your skin and produces immediate results. Check out whether your anti-aging product is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and non-photo toxic. The last thing you expect is damaging your skin instead of repairing.

Types of anti-aging products

Anti-aging skin products are available for both men and women. Anti-aging products for dry skin are available in a variety of forms. You can choose from cleansing gels, multi-active toner, facial creams and lotions, face emulsions, shaving creams, shaving lotions, etc. Anti-aging products for men are specifically formulated to enhance the texture of a man’s thicker and tougher skin as compared to a woman’s skin that is far more soft and delicate. Most of these anti-aging skin products are loaded with the goodness of nature. So you don’t have to lose sleep over any drastic side effects as most of the anti-aging products contain various natural ingredients extracted from plants and herbs that provide optimal nourishment to your dry and parched skin.

Anti Aging Skin Care - Tips on Defying Skin Aging (Celebrity Beauty)

Wednesday, April 12, 2006

As we get older, the skin ages too. This article looks at the ways in which we can defy skin aging and retain our youthful complexions for as long as possible.

Know the Common Signs of Skin Aging

Different people will show different signs of aging at different times in their lives.

For a person who is in his or her mid-late 20s, the skin is generally in good condition but some signs of skin aging may appear. Depending on the person’s lifestyle, some of these signs could include dry or rough skin, blotchy skin, darkened and dull skin or an uneven skin tone

For a person in his or her late 20s or 30s, more signs of skin aging may appear. These could include loose skin, larger pores or even fine line and wrinkles.

For a person in his or her 40s, deeper expression lines, frown lines on the forehead, more obvious wrinkles and crow’s feet may appear. The skin may appear more sallow and less firm.

For a person in his or her 50s and 60s, deep wrinkles and folds of skin may appear. The skin becomes more dry and rough. Age spots may also appear.

Understand the Cause of Skin Aging

Skin aging is 90% of the time due to sun damage and 10% due to genetic factors.

Intrinsic or biological aging is due to genetic factors. The intrinsic factors are the slow down of skin turnover, decreased collagen and sebum production.

Extrinsic or photo aging is also called sun-induced skin aging and therefore largely preventable. Sun damage is accumulated a little each time there is an exposure to the burning rays of the sun. The damage is not immediately noticeable. Often one is not aware of the amount of sun damage accumulated until much later, years later in fact.

Never Too Early to Start Protecting Your Skin

Your skin starts to age from the time you were born! As sun damage is primary cause of skin aging, it is never too early to start protecting your skin from the burning rays of the sun. So always apply sunscreen lotion on yourself and your kids when you are outdoors. Prevention is always better than cure!

If you love to sun tan or an outdoors person, a good, strong sun cream is a must.

Stub out that Cigarette

Not only is smoking detrimental for your health, it is also bad for your skin. It reduces blood flow to the skin and causes the skin to look dry and sallow. Smoking further encourages wrinkles to develop around the mouth as smokers puckers their mouth and “crow’s feet” around the eye due to squinting to avoid the smoke.

Other Anti Aging Skin Care Tips

Other anti aging skin care tips include:

Having a healthy life style
Drink in moderation
Cut down on your caffeine in take
Exercise to improve your blood circulation
Reduce or manage the stress level in your life
Have sufficient sleep each night
Last but not least, maintain a good skin care routine

10 Most Popular Hair Styles for 2006 (Celebrity Beauty)

In 2005 the most popular hair styles were driven by celebrities, most notably the women actresses on “Sex in the City” and “Friends” and you could go down about any city in America and see look a like hairstyles. Some younger gals were thinking that in 2006 they might wish to imitate Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, although we may see more of a 1970’s hybrid between these of Paris and Britney and a more layered look like back then. Men seemed to be quite content with the James Bond style, long hair let it go style and emulating the various GQ heart throbs of the Silver Screen in 2005.

In 2006 going bald will be the biggest trend, as those who have become enlightened will prove that they do not need to impress anyone with something as silly or ridiculous as a hair cut. For those who do not wish to show their enlightened self, we will see a re-emergence of the Ronald Reagan style hair cut for most men and a few will adopt the “I do not give a damn about you or anyone else” haircut style of shock jock Howard Sterns. For the women who are afraid to cut it all off we will see longer hair with a flared layered look. Not quite the Farah Facet haircut of the late 70’s but along that lines and this will be taking hold towards the end of 2006, mostly due to Hollywood’s influence on the masses. Think on this in 2006.
