How I Maintain a Youthful Appearance

Most everyone wants to look young and beautiful, and I am no exception. I will tell you what I do to keep a youthful appearance, and at the end of the article I am going to give you a chance to guess my age. Are you ready to learn how to look young and have some fun?

Skin Firming Lotion

I use a skin firming lotion to keep my skin firm and moistened. Skin firming lotions do not have to be expensive. I use Suave firming body lotion.

Face Creams and Lotions

Keeping your face moisturized prevents wrinkles from forming. I always apply a light moisturizer before applying my foundation. Before bed at night I always wash my face with a face wash and use a face cream to sleep in. I use Olay foaming facewash and Olay complete UV moisturizer or Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer under my foundation. Before bed I have been using St. Ives Timeless Skin.

The One and Only Hand Lotion

The one and only hand lotion that works to keep my hands young looking is Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. My hands used to break out in a rash from washing them until I discovered Aveeno.

It's All About the Right Bra

Let's face it, after a few kids and gaining and loosing weight breasts are not as youthful as they once were. It's all about the right bra and the right bra is a push up bra with underwire. The best ones are from Victoria's Secret. I know they are expensive but they last long and are well worth it. Victoria's Secret will even size you to make sure you are purchasing the right size bra.

Long Locks Without Silver

I keep my hair shoulder length or longer and avoid silver, and by silver I mean gray. I use a non permanent hair color to keep my hair shiny and silver free. I use Clairol Natural Instincts every four weeks.

Stay Thin

Keeping a thin body helps when trying to maintain a youthful appearance. I count my calories and exercise once a week. I use to exercise three to seven days a week but found I only need one day a week to get what I need. I will swim or jog for 30 minutes to an hour and do 20 pushups one day a week.

Contacts

I wear glasses and am wearing them right now. Contacts make it much harder to read, write, or type as I am farsighted. When I go out and am trying to look my best, the contacts go in.

Clothes

Wear clothing that you feel comfortable in and that are young and trendy. Yes, I have a few pairs of skinny jeans. I even have a friend in her 60s who has a pair and she looks great in her skinny jeans!

Makeup

A little eyeliner, mascara, and blush never hurts. I keep my makeup natural looking and light.

Young at Heart

I refuse to tell myself I am old. I am young at heart and find that to be a great key to feeling and looking young. Some people tell themselves they are too old to do certain things and by saying it it becomes truth.

I think I covered all the bases of what I do to maintain a youthful appearance. Now that I have told you how I maintain a youthful appearance I am going to give you a shot at guessing my age. Here is your one hint, the picture on my profile page was taken in February of last year. After I have several guesses I will reveal my true age. Have fun, be honest, and no cheating!
