Beauty Tips for a Healthy and Youthful Look

John Russell asked:


r you are in your 20's or 50's, healthy skin and hair, etc. is something we all want to achieve. No matter what your age, we all have the desire for a healthy and youthful look. Sadly, however, most of us are either unaware of how we go about doing this or we don't achieve it on a daily basis. But did you know it is, in fact, quite simple to achieve? And it won't cost you a lot of money?


Upholding and of course retaining a healthy and youthful look is all about taking care of yourself and deciding to make a few changes to your habits and lifestyle. By making small changes to your lifestyle and beauty regimen, you will soon start to notice big differences to the way in which your skin looks. The sooner you start taking these changes on board, the sooner you will start to notice a difference, so lets start now with some beauty skin care...

One of the most aging aspects to your skin is the sun - constant sunbathing without the right protection, or no protection at all, may give you a nice tan but what you are actually doing is burning your skin; you are damaging layers upon layers of it, which is why you should keep out of it as much as you can. This is, however, sometimes near impossible to do and of course you are going to want to enjoy the weather so make sure you are protected. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and make sure your skin care products have a high SPF factor. This is because the ultraviolet rays that the sun gives off harms your skin and constant exposure will simply induce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, however, without SPF protection the suns rays can also be the cause of skin cancer.

You only have to suffer sunburn once to put yourself at risk of developing skin cancer and all it takes to stop this risk is applying SPF lotion. So make sure that when you are exposed to the sun you take the necessary steps to keep your skin protected, and remember, the less damage caused to your skin by the sun the more your skin will remain healthy and youthful.

Also, when you are out in the sun, the way in which you apply your make-up, believe it or not, can have an impact on whether your skin appears healthy and youthful. So how should you apply it? Start by applying concealer over any pimples and dark circles that appear under the eyes and any blemishes you have, then finish with a light foundation and a touch of bronzer. On top of this use a little bit of lipstick and possibly some mascara. The more simple you keep the make-up the better, this is because too much make-up often ends up making you look older as opposed to younger.

One of the most important aspects that you need in order to achieve and maintain healthy and youthful skin is a good moisturizer. It is our skin, after all, that most easily reveals our age and, let's face it, if your skin is continually dry and stretched with wrinkles, fine lines, and spots, you are bound to appear older. The best way of keeping such aspects at bay is with the help of a skin care moisturizer cream; just make sure you choose the correct moisturizer for your skin type as a moisturizer designed for oily skin is not the best thing to be applying to dry skin as chances are it will make the problem a lot worse.

You should aim to apply skin care moisturizer cream twice a day to keep the skin in the best condition possible. This will make it feel soft, smooth, and plumped up. Also, the actual act of applying the moisturizer will help to improve blood circulation, thus, keeping the skin glowing and healthy.

Your skin is one of the biggest factors when it comes to looking healthy and youthful so by keeping this in the best condition possible you are already halfway there. This should be the starting point to achieving the healthy and youthful look you have always wanted so make sure you keep the above points in mind.
