All women want to look their best at any age, and ideally even younger than their actual age. How to achieve this after 45?
Of course, in order to maintain youth, health and beauty, you need to give up alcohol and smoking and regularly visit a beautician. But what else?
We tell you as many as 15 secrets of how to keep your appearance young.
1. Start your morning with 0.5 liters of pure water (or lemon) and meditation. This helps the body "start up", improve mood, and gain vigor.
2. Always wear sunscreen - even on cloudy weather. And sleep exclusively in the dark. This will protect you from photoaging.
3. Use a stiff brush in the shower. It activates blood circulation, makes the skin more elastic. In general, do not ignore body scrubs - they will make your skin silky.
4. Sleep a lot. Lack of sleep can give a 20-year-old the appearance of a 45-year-old, but a full 8-hour sleep - on the contrary, will rejuvenate anyone.
5. Do not overuse meats and sweets. Over the years, it becomes harder for the body to digest meat and it becomes easier to put sweets in the sides. It is better to replace meat with fish and seafood as much as possible, and sweets - with dried fruits.
6. Do not overuse decorative cosmetics. Rest your skin as much as possible, especially on weekends.
7. Minimize your coffee. If you get enough sleep, then you don't need it to function, unless out of habit. Give preference to herbal teas.
8. Eat 5 small meals a day. Only really small. This will help not to overload the body, maintain vigor, not bring it to hunger and overeating.9. Move. It can be jogging, active walking, gym, group activities, cycling - the main thing is, do not give yourself hostage to the sofa.
10. Don't use tight hair ties. Hair weakened with age and fell out much more easily. A tight elastic band will intensify this unpleasant process.
11. Walk up the stairs. Forget lifts and detours. Your path to strength, youth and harmony is stairs.
12. Use rose water or micellar water. Minimize facial skin contact with regular tap water unless you have strong filters to clean it.
13. Always wear a bra. It is believed that properly selected underwear helps keep the breasts in good shape until old age.
14. Make the right diet. It should contain 80% of completely healthy products and 20% - let's say, less useful (without them, of course, nothing).
15. Dance. In addition to being a great way to burn calories and stretch your muscles (or exercise - if you get down to it seriously), dancing is great to lift your spirits and boost your confidence.
