Step 1: Lighten up your wardrobe(挑亮色的衣服)
Wear less black and neutral shades and more color, especially on your top half, where it can brighten up an aging complexion.
Lose the matched jewelry sets in favor of trendy baubles.
Step 2: Even out skin tone(遮瑕,讓皮膚完美光澤)
Even out skin tone with products that contain glucosamine, an amino sugar which has been proven effective in treating age-related discoloration and age spots.
Step 3: Take care of facial hair(化好眉毛和睫毛)
Learn to fill in your eyebrows artfully and apply individual false eyelashes; brows and lashes thin as we age; keeping them lush will take years off your face.
Step 4: Start using hand cream(用護(hù)手霜)
Apply a facial mask with alpha hydroxy acids to the back of your hands to promote surface skin renewal. Start using a daily hand cream with glycerin, petrolatum, and dimethicone.
Get or give yourself manicures and wear a bright ring or two; in one study, women who wore polish and rings were judged to be younger-looking than those who didn’t.
Step 5: Update your hairstyle(注重發(fā)型)
Update your hairstyle, especially if you’ve had the same one for decades. Use thickening products, as hair thins out as we age. Consult a colorist about getting the right shade as well as putting in highlights to replace fading natural ones.
Bangs are an easy way to hide a lined forehead.
Step 6: Fix and whiten your teeth(美白牙齒)
Consult a dentist about fixing and whitening your teeth if they’ve become discolored or have shifted with age.
Step 7: Say cheese!(多笑笑)
Keep a smile on your face. It gives you an instant facelift.
People in the 40s to 60s who pay attention to their appearance are nicknamed “baby groomers.”
