Looking beautiful and younger is a gift to oneself

LOOKING YOUNGER THAN YOUR AGE

Looking good and having a positive body image is not vanity; it is our road to a long healthy, and happy life. I personally believe that we all will grow old but gracefully.

My goal and promise to you is that you can achieve these goals – looking younger and living longer – by following the 3 easy steps :-

STEP 1. DIET. There are some food and nutritional program that includes some
of my favourites which can reduce inflammation and rejuvenate the skin and body.

STEP 2. SUPPLEMENTS. In addition to eating well, these multi-purpose and highly
effective nutritional supplements will increase production of the anti-inflammatory and your body’s natural anti-aging weapons.

STEP 3. ENVIROMENT. Working from the outside in, these facial regime and night
creams will have you looking younger almost instantly.


SUPERFOOD – NUTS AND SEEDS

Nuts and Seeds will decrease your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, control your weight no hunger pangs, and reduce the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin, I recommend that you “go nuts.”

My suggestions:-

• When thoughts turn to food between meals, enjoy a handful of raw, unsalted nuts. They’re extremely filling and satisfying-and healthful.
• Add some nuts to regular meals-a tablespoon of chopped almonds on your regular breakfast cereal, oatmeal, or a tablespoon of walnuts in your salad. Nuts are so versatile, they can take the place of flour and bread crumbs-with a lot more flavor and health benefits. Just remember, as with all things, to use moderation.

Nuts enhance heart health because of their unique protein, fat, sterol and vitamin profile which also help prevent cancer.


THE FORTIES

Life doesn’t really begin at forty, as the saying goes, but it’s hardly over then, either. And because of all the advances in cosmetic dermatology, the long-held belief that a woman in early middle age has to choose between her face and her figure is no longer true. You don’t have to ‘grow fat’ to continue looking young in your middle age, although the loss of fatty tissue under our skin contributes greatly to that ‘first wrinkle’ and all the others that follow.

In out forties, whether we are fat or thin, out jaws and neck start to loosen and sag. This happens because the collagen and elastin fibers of the dermis become less organized and weaker. Also, the layer of fat beneath it decreases, and the muscle structure begins to break down. They may be a dilation of a few blood vessels in the face, thus making them visible.

The veins of our hands become more prominent, and ‘liver’ spots begin to appear, especially in fair-skinned people and those who’ve experience excessive sun exposure.

Cellulite also becomes more prominent in our forties. The dimpling on the sides and backs of the thighs deepens a bit, and cellulite begins to appear on the buttocks.

Men in their mid to late forties are beginning to see dramatic, distressing changes. In lighter-skinned men who have suffered a lot of sun exposure, this will mean a sudden proliferation deep lines, grooves, and wrinkles-seemingly sudden, I should say, for the damage has been accumulating for years.

Men with darker skin, the skin will loosen and sag more than wrinkle, but the psychic effect is the same. The frown line between the eyes, on either side of the mouth begin to look deeply etched, and crow’s feet around the eyes are pronounced; eyelid skin is loose, and puffy bags below the eyes are very common.

THE FIFTIES

New skin changes may be observed during the fifties as earlier ones continue to become more pronounced.

You may not think it’s a pretty picture, but there are many ways to deal with it. The collagen and elastin fibers are now so disorganized and weak that the skin begins to stretch, leaving it prey to gravity. Among other effects, this can result in what we perceive as ‘fallen’ eyebrows and ‘masked’ cheekbones. Just abot everywhere, from the upper lip to the corners of the eyes, fine lines don’t look fine at all. Blotches and age spots are plain as day. The skin of the upper and lower eyelids is streatched to excess, and frown lines between the eyebrows no longer snap back as they used to. Overall there is a loss of youthful fullness in the face, hands, neck, and lips. It becomes difficult for many women to apply lipstick, because the lip line has begun to grow less distinct.

In the early fifties the oil glands become less productive, causing dryness in the skin, hair, and nails, and the onset of menopause lowers the estrogen supply, allowing inherited male-pattern baldness in some women to begin. At the same time, the skin on their backs may become thicker, and the skin on their chests starts to crinkle.

Men too are suffering most of these changes; by now their age has fully caught up with them, even if they believe they still look twenty-one. Excess skin in the eyelids, bags below the eyes, smile lines, and loosening of the brow that pushes the eyebrows downward, drooping jowls and thick nasolabial fold-men in their fifties are going through the worst of it. On the positive side, hair loss generally stops around the midfifties, so if you’re still ‘holding strong’ up top, you probably won’t ever go bald.

THE SIXTIES

During out sixties, though, a host of radical skin changes take place. There’s a cross-hatching of wrinkles now in the cheeks. Secondly lines around the mouth actually exten below the jawline. The oil glands of the face may become enlarged and visible as little bumps, in their effort to compensate for lowered oil production, while previous wrinkles and loose skin grow more pronounced than ever.

The upper eyelids will appear hooded, the lower lids wrinkled and loose, and the cheekbones less discernible. In addition, a horizontal line forms on the bridge of the nose and another one appears above the lip. The nose gets slightly longer during this period, and the earlobes lengthen, too, become thinner, and develop wrinkles.

A further lowering of estrogen allows further hair thinning. Cellulite, spider veins, and veins and age spots on the hands all become more prominent. The sixties may be the most traumatic decade, in terms of ageing, a time when we look in the mirror and see our own mothers (or fathers) there.

THE SEVENTIES AND BEYOND

By now it’s no surprise that all the aging effects of the previous decades persist and deepen as we get older and older. Some seventy - somethings may even look wistfully back at the sixty-year-old selves. However, you must understand that the extent to which time takes its toll will depend on you.

If you spend your life ignoring the process, you won’t be surprised to see the same changes getting worse. If, however, you’ve done everything possible to retain your vitality and good looks, seeking medial intervention where necessary and effective, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that you look a lot younger than you are.

OUR FACE VALUE

In our era when surgeons rearrange skin and bones as casually as furniture-when one looks at a model and wonders if those are her own lips, breast, chin, most women have at least thought about having something fixed.

We have the non surgical treatment such as laser resurfacing and chemical peels. There has always been some risk involve such as risk of discoloration (a contrast of skin tone between the treated and untreated areas). In darker-skinned people especially, but these days our ability to individualize and fine-tune the peeling process is exceptional.

RESURFACING PROCEDURES

This is much like a “off with the old and welcome to the new skin”. Much of our skin top layer is composed of dead and dying cells, which can cause a dull looking complexion. When you peel it off, which is call exfoliate that layer, you send a message to the growing layers of skin to wake them up and the them producing new (gorgeous) skin cells.
