One of the fastest ways to aging the face is exposure to the sun. While the beauty experts have recommended the best SPF skincare products to use, they have left out some common sense tips to include. Always wear sunglasses. Not only do they make you look cool, they protect your eyes and the skin around your eyes. Think about it, if you were wearing sunglasses, then you would have no reason to SQUINT! And we all know what squinting creates-CROWS FEET! Only crows should have those feet. Besides the crows feet, chances are there is a very deep line between the eye brows. All of the best skincare products in the world will not make those deep lines disappear.
Sunglasses will help, even on cloudy days. There’s usually a glare on cloudy days, not to mention that sun rays still come through and do damage.
If you spend an exorbitant amount of money on your SPF skincare products and do not wear sunglasses, your common sense isn’t working. Go to an eye care professional and ask for the best sunglasses with UV protection. And wear them. Trust me, all of the time you have invested in your skincare routine will pay off and you will see improvement.
In addition to wrinkles created from frowning and squinting, another mistake that is often made by young and mature women is over plucking the eyebrows. It is one thing to have naturally thin or pale colored eyebrows. It is something else to have had beautiful full eye brows that have been plucked into extinction! For some young women, plucking the eyebrow is in that same over blown category that smoking, drinking and dressing too provocatively is in-wanting to appear older. If you are doing all of the above, chances are you look at least 10 years older than your chronological age. Now, I’m not saying, “don’t pluck your eyebrows.” I am saying either get a professional to “clean” the area around the brow or learn to pluck the correct way. And, never ever shave your eyebrows, unless your intentions are too look hard and tough. If you use tweezers (I personally like Tweezerman), then tweeze after you have cleaned your face. The skin is “plump” and the hair on the brow bone is easy to grab. The only hairs that should be removed are the strays that grow away from the natural arch of the brow. They are very easy to identify and that does not include hair above the brow. The hairs between the eyes should also be removed. No well groomed woman wants a unibrow! Here again, all of the best waxes and depilatories will be a waste of money if the end result is not positive. So, use common sense while grooming your eyebrows.
And one last tip on the eyes. For those of you who wear eye make up, did you know that ever time you pull on your eyelid to apply liner, you are damaging the tissues around the eyes and promoting wrinkles?
Try applying liner with a steady hand. It’s very easy-especially for you youngsters. With a clean hand, rest your hand on the cheek bone, holding the liner of choice, start at the corner (closest to the nose), and draw the line across the lid. Color it in to however thick you want. Once it is applied, then curl your lashes and apply mascara.
Remember, using common sense will hopefully eliminate expensive ways to get rid of wrinkles and frown lines. Bottom line, you CAN look younger on a budget.
