An easy way to look young

The easiest way to look young might be the most heart breaking way too for you. Chop off your locks and go for a shoulder length hair. It is very important that you do not go short in case you are not able to pull it off. Having long hair makes you look older than your age. A hair style change once in a blue moon is not at all a bad idea if you are not averse to the idea of cutting your locks. The main advantage you can gain from this is a better quality hair. Longer hair is generally dry from ears down and is prone to splits and breakages because the hair follicle is not able to pass the nutrition to the ends. 

Now, before you go for a complete hair makeover, settle for a hair stylist you can trust. Do not go for a new one and get a completely different hair style because it might result in a complete disaster. So, experiment with trims and simple and safe cuts among a variety of hair stylist and settle for one you love the best. Go repeatedly for 3-5 times before you are absolutely sure and then you can trust  her/him with your hair. Otherwise, you might end up looking like an ostrich or a goose and growing your hair from a bad hair style takes a little time which you might not wanna wait for.

This advice is strictly for those who can not maintain a longer hair length and have hair which constantly gives them trouble even though they might love long hair.

Do you take care of your body?

Everyone wants to look beautiful and young. But, have you thought that how other people perceive your skin? I am not talking about your face or your looks. I am talking about the quality of skin. Everyone takes a lot of pains to keep their face skin young and youthful. But, what about the skin on your body like your neck, arms, legs or tummy. Do you take the same care of your body as your face. If you have noticed yourself closely in the mirror, you will find that your face looks younger than your body and gives your age away or makes you look much more older than what your age actually is. The thing I want to convey is that anti-aging skin care is not just for your face but also for your body. 

Your arms or your neck give your age easily away as they are more neglected during skin care and do a lot of our daily work too. So, the skin on these areas get thin and flabby. Have you ever thought of taking care of your these parts of the body? Have you ever bothered to get rid of the extra fat and flabbiness on your thighs or midsection because it makes you look many years older probably add a ten at least. If you take care of your body as well as you take care of your face, you would look younger and natural. And, then you can take easily 10 years away from your actual age and stay that way forever. So, next time you think of a facial, give your whole body a facial and do not forget to get an hour exercise everyday or ever alternate day. That will keep your body in check. 

A great tip to keep your body young forever: Give yourself massage at least every week with natural oils like coconut, almond or olive oil.
