Exercise helps maintain a well-toned body.
As people age, they have to make certain accommodations to fit the reality of the changes occurring in their bodies and in their lives. Some of the changes, such as the appearance of fine lines and crow's feet or the appearance of gray hair, may not be particularly welcome. However, there are some beauty tips that women over 50 can use to minimize the effects of aging. Does this Spark an idea?
Skin
This is one of the first parts of the body to succumb to signs of aging. This can be seen by the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes, beside the mouth, on the forehead and a general loss of elasticity in the skin. Everybody shows signs of aging at different degrees because it is all a question of lifestyle choices, such as smoking, the degree of sun exposure and heredity. Other things that can influence the way the skin looks in the 50s are stress, diet and obesity. As one ages, the skin does not produce new cells as quickly as it used to, leading to dryness. This can be minimized by using humidifiers, skin rejuvenation products, facial treatments, adopting a more healthy diet and not smoking. If you are an active outdoors person, always wear sunscreen with an SPF-15 or more with both UVA and UVB protection.
Hair
You can disguise gray hair by using hair dyes. If you do not want a full color, you can highlight some strands of hair throughout the hair to subtly minimize the appearance of gray hair. You also might decide to try a new style that has several benefits. If you have thinning hair, a shorter hairstyle can give the impression of more volume and also, the right color and hair products, such as a volumizing shampoo can help give volume to limp hair. Another option is hair extensions, which can help boost thinning hair.
Less is More
Some women often make the mistake of using heavier makeup to try to disguise the signs of aging. The truth is that using heavy foundation or too much powder only makes your skin look drier instead of hiding the wrinkles. It is better to keep the application of makeup light and clean. If you need help trying to figure out what kind of makeup to use, get some help from a professional makeup artist who can show you some tricks about apply makeup to help you look your best.
Diet
After the age of 30, energy levels start to drop because of decreased activity levels. Most women don't even realize this. If they don't adjust their diet accordingly, the dreaded "middle-aged spread" starts to set in. To combat this, you have to limit the amount of calories you consume on a daily basis and try to increase your level of activity by exercising regularly to avoid a sedentary lifestyle.
