Secrets to looking younger every woman should know about


There are varying standards of beauty the world over. The only constant when it comes to beauty standards is youth.

Every woman dreams of looking youthful even with age. Here are tips to keep your face and body looking fresh.

1. Whiten your teeth – Whitening your teeth is one of the easiest ways that can take decades off your face. The good news is that you can achieve this without having to leave your kitchen. Simply make a paste of baking soda and water and use it to brush your teeth then wait to see the magic happen. Baking soda washes off stains without wearing down on the enamel.

2. Moisturize – Your skin speaks about you. It probably communicates more than your words. The only way to have your skin sending the message that you are young is to keep it moisturized. Moisturize it all the time. Even when you are going to bed.

3. Get rid of the eye bags – Again, you can get rid of the eye bags which make you seem so much older using products in your kitchen. Caffeine does a really good job of straightening the eye bags. Simply dip a tea bag in hot water then place it on the eye bag for ten minutes.

4. Chew gum – Yes, chewing gum will keep you looking younger. Chewing gum will reduce cortisol the stress hormone in your system and it will increase blood flow to your jaw and your brain. A stress free, sharp minded woman is definitely younger looking than one who is slow and stressed.

5. Color your hair – Getting a few years off your frame might be as easy as walking into a salon and doing a dye job. Choose the color that you feel truly represents who you are. Get out of your comfort zone. Your options are limitless.

6. Shape your eye brows – Shaping your eye brows will define your facial features and in doing so take years off your face. If you want proof of this, take one picture with bushy eyebrows and another one with shaped eyebrows.

7. Get a fitting bra – A perfect fitting bra will take years off your form by making your waistline more defined. The good thing about this is that it will leave you feeling great on the inside too.

8. Get a shorter hair style – While long hair might feel more feminine, it also ages you. Shorter hair on the other hand makes you look younger and vibrant. If you have the face shape for it, try a bob cut this weekend.
