Still some half a century ago, a fifty-year-old woman was considered an elderly person, whose full life was far behind, and only retirement, employment with her grandchildren and quiet family evenings at the TV with knitting in her hands loomed ahead. A kind of revolution was the cult film "Moscow does not believe in tears," which clearly showed what a woman who is leading an active life can achieve and who is not going to record herself "in the middle of time". And the legendary phrase "In forty years life is just beginning" is still the motto of women who have overcome the Balzac age. In this article we will look at the main ways that women can keep their energy, beauty for many years and look for a decade younger than their biological age.
Skin Care
In order to have a smooth, elastic skin in adulthood, you need to start taking care of it competently in your early youth. There are three rules of skin care, which every woman must strictly observe:
- purification;
- moisturizing and nourishment;
- protection.
Over time, they are added to rejuvenating procedures, designed to help the body cope with the inevitable age processes. After 35 years, the main emphasis should be on soft peeling, which will help the natural process of cell renewal. Without this regular procedure, the action of the most advanced creams will be ineffective and will not bring the expected result.
After forty is to get acquainted with the gymnastics for the face, which will restore the muscles of the face elasticity, saturate the skin cells with oxygen, smooth out the facial wrinkles, pull up the oval and, accordingly, make you several years younger and fresher. The most popular gymnastics for the face is the Carol Maggio system, which takes twenty minutes a day and allows you to visually discard an extra ten years.
In the mornings, do not wash your face with water, and wipe frozen ice cubes with the addition of decoctions of herbs useful for the skin.
To avoid swelling after sleep, which add to your extra age, learn to sleep on your back. If the swelling is still formed, put on your eyes compresses of cold tea or decoction of chamomile, slices of raw cucumber or potatoes.
After fifty you can resort to more radical means of rejuvenation. These are laser resurfacing, cryotherapy, mesotherapy, vitamin injections, lymph drainage facial massage and other modern methods.
The main thing to remember is that no visits to a cosmetologist will help if you do not have a full eight-hour sleep and enough water a day (not less than one and a half liters) that will ensure the freshness, elasticity and healthy radiance of your skin for many years!
Sun protection
All the most advanced cosmetic procedures for rejuvenation can instantly cross out a long stay in the sun without the use of sunscreen. Cosmetologists do not recommend leaving the house without applying a face cream SEF-20 at any time of the year. However, it's not a secret that the tanned face looks younger and fresher, so you can use self-tanning or tonal means of light bronze shades. The main thing is not to overdo it with the intensity of the color: too dark tan is aging and emphasizes the skin imperfections.
Makeup
Decorative cosmetics can make a person younger, and, conversely, it's easy to add a few extra years. Therefore, it is necessary to remember several rules of correct make-up. After forty it is necessary to abandon the bright bright tones of shadows and lipstick, leaving them for exceptional cases. In everyday life, a natural make, made in natural tones, is welcomed. Toning means should be a light texture, instead of compact powder it is desirable to use friable. Avoid shiny shadows and pearly lipstick. Emphasize your eyes, emphasizing their beauty with mascara and eyeliner.
Hairstyle
With age, hair becomes more rare and weak, so it's worth taking care of the right hair. As a rule, after fifty long hair, with rare exceptions, look non-winning. Experiment with the length, having shortened hair up to shoulders, or make a fashionable hairstyle. Do not forget about the bangs, it will give an image of coquetry and young enthusiasm, as well as hide the wrinkles and pigment spots on the forehead.
Of great importance is the color of the hair. We now do not even talk about gray hair: to look fresh and young, there should be no slightest hint of its existence. Thanks to modern staining techniques, you can visually give your hair extra volume and healthy shine, which will help you lose a dozen extra years. The main thing to remember is that the hair color is young only when it is slightly lighter than your natural tone.
Weight control and proper nutrition
A necessary condition for young to look at any age is weight control. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully follow the principles of proper nutrition, give up harmful foods, do not eat up at night, do not abuse alcohol and sweets and drink plenty of water. Do not dramatically change the gastronomic habits and get involved in diets, enough to learn to eat separately (without mixing the protein and carbohydrates in one meal) and periodically arrange the body for unloading days.
Sport and physical activity
Regular physical activity is a source of cheerfulness, health and good mood, which will definitely positively affect the appearance. It is not at all necessary to torture yourself in the gym or attend expensive private lessons with a personal trainer. Sometimes to feel the necessary energy charge, it is enough to run in the morning in the park, walk a few extra stops or refuse to use the elevator. Well, choosing yoga, fitness or swimming as an active leisure, you will significantly improve the quality of life and prolong your youth for a long time.
Wardrobe
To find the "golden mean" in creating the image of a woman who stepped over a half-century line and do not look "Aged Barbie" or "Old Woman Shapoklyak", it's worth paying attention to the elegant classics. Feminine silhouettes and well-adjusted cuts hide the shortcomings of the figure and emphasize its dignity, light pastel colors will give freshness to the person, and a drop of refined perfume will complement the image.
