Looking more natural is a way to look younger. Scrub the skin often with soap and a textured wash rag. Air out the skin outside and at night. Women who wear a lot of make up tend to look older so use less makeup and make it look more like you. Having lighter make- up helps too.

Having a more natural hair style also helps getting a younger look. Some women look great with straight hair regardless of age but most women need waves or curls to give them a softer look. If you need to color your hair use a more natural color. Having your hair flowing to the neck gives a younger look rather than hanging to the shoulders. Few women look great with very short hair since the attention is only on the face.

Clear or light pink nail polish is better for your hands. Put lots of cream or Vaseline at night to keep your skin moist. Do the same with your feet as well as your knees and elbows. Take a hot bath and then spread out the creams.

Clothes should be subtle and go with your body. Loose clothing and light colors make you look younger. There are those special occasions to wear black or darker colors. Since the neck, shoulders, and arms begin to show the age; choose clothing which covers them. Dress them up with scarves and some jewelry. Shoes should be comfortable and more subtle styles which cover your feet. Those toes just don't look like when you were young so why expose them. Short skirts and dresses show the knees so wear them at least below the knee. It is also true with pants. On a hot day or on the beach just look your best.

While make-up and clothing help looking younger, being healthy is the best way and maybe even ten years younger. Try not to be too skinny or too fat. Be just right. Being skinny shows wrinkles more. Being fat blows one up out of proportion. Eat and drink healthy. Exercise and get plenty of fresh air. Consult with your doctor to give you directives on how to get healthier. Follow the advice.

Being happy makes one look younger. Do what makes you happy with the people you enjoy. You'll smile and laugh a lot which will make you look younger.
