Simple Beauty Tips For Women Over 40

This is the time to shake things up a bit. There are some beauty tips for women over 40 that will update their look. And help with some of the signs of aging. This is the age that has not made to old but isn’t young anymore either. Somethings can be done to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and dullness in the hair and skin.

What stage you are at will be the determining factor in just what needs to be done. If its just the hair, address that. If its the skin tackle that. If you are not showing any signs of aging you can still benefit from some updating and small changes. Clothing is easy. Tone down the colors to just one that pops. The more vibrant colors can make a paling complexion look even more so. Look to updating pieces in your wardrobe and accessories. Take the time to see if the items you wear truly fit the body you have.

Take a long look in the mirror. Think about the woman you are now, today. There is nothing so beautiful as a woman of this age who knows who she is and is accepting and comfortable with it. Think of what you have accomplished and overcome. Ask yourself do the clothes, make up, hair and presence match?

We should look our beautiful best as much as possible. Presentable is not enough. You are sexy and vibrant. Women do not have much time for themselves so what they have has to count. The simplest way to get the best from what you have is to go to your favorite salon and let them know you are ready to update your style and look. Since they know you they will know what direction to move in.

Aging skin looses its dewy appearance and becomes dry. It should be treated with care. This is for skin on the face and body. Drink plenty of fluids each day to keep skin hydrated. When washing do not use hot water. Warm water only. It will not strip skin of its natural oils. Pat skin dry when done. No rubbing or scrubbing. Then apply moisturizer to seal in water. To remove dead skin cells exfoliate once a week.

Exercise is possibly the biggest gift you can give yourself. It will help bring back your glow. It helps keep some things from making a fast trip south. With weight training you can slow down, halt or even reverse the descent. Go for 30 minutes a day for three days a week. Do the strength training twice a week.

An up to date hairstyle is necessary to look your best. If you are still wearing a style you did 15 years ago, it is no longer appropriate. Honest friends will tell you. Go for a shoulder length style or shorter. As color fades with time think about adding some highlights.

Foundation is only needed to even skin tone. If it is not necessary don’t use it. If it is needed do so with a light reflecting foundation or a tinted moisturizer. These will be lightweight and not settle into the fine lines. Lips should always be coated with a balm before adding lip color. Add a little shine to make them look slightly moist. No frosts or metallics. Color should be complimentary. The point of it all is to enhance the beauty you already have. No drastic changes are needed.

Aging is unavoidable, though, the way we take care of ourselves can help us age gracefully. Hair removal, exercise, skin care, hairstyle and a trip to the hair salon can all help this process.
