How to Make Yourself Look Younger

Ever seen the back of someone's head and noticed long healthy hair? Immediately you start to think "Wow, I'm sure that woman is gorgeous." Then, the woman turns around and you're shocked when you see that she is much older than you thought. That's because thick, lustrous hair is one body part that signifies youth. Allow your hair to thin and dull, and you'll give away your true age. Hair is not the only thing that will help you look younger. There are several other body parts that scream vibrancy, youthfulness, and all around beauty. Keep these parts looking good, and people will never be able to guess your age.

Hair
We touched on this in the beginning, but hair is a sure thing that will keep you looking young. Adding extensions and tight braids will thin hair out over time. Other hair hazards include tight pony tails and a lifetime of perms or relaxers. Keep your hair thick and luxurious by seeking regular professional hair care. Don't perm hair often and consider taking Biotin, a vitamin that helps thicken hair and nails.

Eyebrows
While a sharp-looking arched eyebrow seems to be all the rage these days, years of plucking and waxing will thin eyebrows out, making you look older. The arch may look good while you're in your twenties, but decades down the road, you'll barely have anything to pluck. Keep brows thick and youthful by investing in a brow shaper that trims and shapes brows rather than plucks them from the roots.

Gums
Everyone's gums recede as they age. However, people can experience accelerated gum recession due to years of not flossing. If your gums are seriously receding in your thirties, it will definitely add years to your face. Get regular teeth cleanings so microbes don't build up in your gums. Also use a microbe fighting mouth wash such as Natural Dentist Healthy Gums Mouth Rinse, $7.50.

Eyelashes
Generally, full hair anywhere suggests youth. That includes the hair on your head, eyebrows, and we can't forget your lashes. Full lashes suggest vibrancy and enhance beauty. It's kind of hard to mess them up since we don't spend our days plucking and waxing them like we do our eyebrows. However, it's still a good idea to handle eyelashes gently by removing mascara with a gentle eye makeup remover.

Keep these body parts in tip top shape and you'll be sure to turn heads even into your golden years.
