Hair, eyes, skin tone … Every detail in your appearance can add or subtract your age. How to choose the right care to look younger? Famous cosmetologists gave their advice.
The first wrinkles usually appear around the eyes, they are called “crow’s feet”. To prevent their appearance or reduce the number of existing ones, cosmetologist Doris Gray recommends using a cream with retinol. It promotes cell renewal. As we age, the skin around the eyes becomes coarser and drier, and its ability to restore and retain moisture decreases. This is where retinol comes in. It also promotes the production of collagen, which plumps the skin and makes it more resistant to wrinkles.
Correctly apply the cream to the skin of the eyelids: with the ring and middle fingers, apply the cream with light tapping movements on the orbital bone. Pay special attention to the areas of accumulation of wrinkles, pressing on them a little harder.
Rosemary, rich in antioxidants and powerful anti-inflammatory effects, can help soothe skin and relieve redness. A combination of rosemary, aloe vera and vitamin E will enhance the effect. Keep the cream in the refrigerator to increase its effectiveness. “And add rosemary to your food more often. This is one of my favorite anti-aging herbs, ”says Doris Gray.

In summer, skin tone, alas, is not always even. Freckles appear on it, and sometimes age spots. To avoid this, cosmetologist Doris Gray recommends using a day cream with sun protection factor all year round! By the way, the unexpectedly appeared pigmentation may be the result of last summer. If the skin was poorly protected, it undoubtedly suffered, and in the first hot rays of the sun, the pigmentation appeared again. What to do?
In the summer, it is not recommended to carry out the peeling procedure: after it appears at least once on the street without a protective cream, and the age spots will become even more. Cosmetics created to combat age spots will help to correct the situation. For example, the Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Lotion with SPF 20 from Clinique. The product is able to resist pigmentation of any degree.

Hands are exposed daily to UV rays, hot water, wind, dry air. It is not surprising that thin skin here becomes dry, coarse and covered with age spots. Kojic acid will help in caring for the skin of the hands. This component was discovered by Japanese scientists in mushrooms about 20 years ago. As part of creams, it brightens the skin and inhibits the production of melanin. “Kojic acid is especially effective when combined with other whitening ingredients such as licorice root,” says Doris Gray.
To keep your hand color even and beautiful, use not only moisturizer and nourishing cream, but also sunscreen. When traveling, carry a small tube of hand and lip sunscreen in your purse. Being always there, he will remind you that during the day from time to time it is necessary to renew the protection of delicate skin.

Sometimes we pay little attention to this detail, but it is no less important for beauty than the complexion. It’s about the teeth. “Yellowness on the teeth not only looks unaesthetic, but also adds age. While bright white teeth are associated with youth, ”says New York dentist Lana Rosenberg about her observations. What spoils the color of teeth?
First, smoking. But even if you are free from this bad habit, your teeth can lose their whiteness due to exposure to food. Berries, strong tea, coffee provoke the appearance of yellowness, which can be removed by the bark of the saw tree growing in the Middle East region. Bark extract is often added to toothpastes.
However, remember that brushing your teeth is more dependent not on the toothpaste, but on the brush. So if you happen to be at a party, there is no point in trying to brush your teeth with toothpaste and your finger, it will not help. But if there is no pasta – it’s okay. Just soak the brush in warm water and brush your teeth as usual. You will feel the result immediately. Once a year, it is imperative to clean your teeth at the dentist. A special procedure will remove tartar and leave your teeth smooth and healthy.

When the hair loses its shine and strength, we often start making hair masks, using more balms and conditioners. However, sometimes the scalp needs a regular exfoliation. After all, harmful substances also get on the head, dust and dirt settle, clogging pores and weakening hair. San Diego stylist Jet Rice recommends exfoliation once or twice a week. “Soon you will notice that your hair will become stronger and shine,” – guarantees the master.
By accompanying each shampoo with a light massage, you can minimize the risk of dandruff, dryness, oily hair and hair loss. Jet Rice recommends starting right away with shampooing. Spread the product over the scalp with gentle massaging movements. Use your fingertips to move in a circular motion from the forehead to the crown and neck and back. Pay special attention to the so-called zone D, which is located on both sides of the head: the temples, near the ears and the back of the head. It is this area that is most susceptible to the spread of dandruff. The massage will improve blood circulation and relieve tension.
