Not because you reach a certain age, you stop fussing about the way you look–and this is with special notice to the working, female seniors. Yes, you especially! Even those who do not keep a daily job and just enjoying the luxury of doing the things that please you, or perhaps those who stay at home most of the day, hear ye! Now, more than ever, is the time to take it slow and focus more on your well-being which includes improving your self-esteem and as much as possible, fight the signs of aging, or at the very least, it give a good fight! Make your working days as fab as possible by doing these simple and handy tips:
· Moisturize, moisturize! We all know that dryness comes with age and if you are not careful, your skin will definitely show it! When you go out shopping for your personal care products, always go for the ones with moisturizing effect. Load up on lotion, body crèmes, lip balm and hair care products. These should be your “regulars”.
· Seniors who are not comfortable wearing makeup everyday can go for light, natural look. This should include the “basics” like lip gloss or lip tint, mascara and blusher and a little eye shadow. If you’re a little clueless about what colors fit your skin tone, visit your friendly neighborhood makeup counter for a free consultation. Won’t hurt too if you buy a couple of product from them.
· Go easy on the eye liner. Dark, heavy eye liner can make you look older and definitely you don’t like that! Go for lighter colors, and apply just enough to make your eyes stand out without making you look old.
· Protect your skin from further sun damage. You don’t need it, not back then and especially not now. Good news is, you don’t have to layer up anymore, there are beauty products with SPF in the market today such as tinted moisturizer with SPF.
· Protect your hair too! Your crowning glory deserves some love and protection too. Wear a fashionable hat if you need to step out of the office or perhaps sport an umbrella to protect your hair and scalp from too much sun exposure.
· Go easy on foundation and powder. These substances just make a home in nooks and crannies of your face a.k.a your wrinkles, sits there until you wash them off. How horrible can it get?
· Use concealer on strategic areas, just make sure your concealer is a good brand to start with.
· Ditch the pencil-thin eyebrows, instead go for natural but clean look. Better yet, get it done professionally.
