A youthful appearance is important to many of us, but with so many options for ways to achieve a younger look, it can be difficult to know which route to go down. Anti-ageing routines aren’t about losing twenty years from your appearance, but more about making sure that you look great over time. Here are some budget-friendly ways to look great no matter what your age.
If you’re still wearing frumpy clothes that have seen better days, you’ll no doubt look older than you are. If you want to knock years off your appearance, you should invest some time into refreshing your wardrobe with some seasonable and on-trend items that will boost your self-esteem as well as your look. Colour is important for creating a more youthful look, as well as creating a more slimming appearance – be careful though, as too much can have the opposite effect. Opt for a splash of something vibrant, but keep the rest of your outfit tones down to accommodate it.
Your hair plays a big part in how old you look, so choose a flattering cut to help reduce the risk of ageing your look. If your hair is thinning, add volume by blasting cold air onto your roots after you’ve finished blow-drying your hair. It will not only lift the roots but also help your hairstyle stay in place for hours. You can also add highlights to soften the hair and increase the light on your face, helping you to look younger.
Many people make the mistake of piling on the make-up as a way of hiding wrinkles and lines, but actually this can have an adverse effect. Powders and foundations will only settle in any imperfections, making them appear deeper than ever. Instead, ease up on the powder and opt for a tinted moisturiser to give a light and dewy glow to the skin. A nice shape to your eyebrows can also lift the face and help give an anti-ageing effect, so fill in the gaps with an eyebrow pencil one shade lighter than your natural colour. Finally, boost your skin’s condition with a good regime of cleansing, moisturising and sun protection to give your skin the best possible chance of appearing younger for longer.
