Thereās no way around it- Ā is inevitable. But that doesnāt mean you have to age in a way that makes you feel discontent with yourself.
As a woman in her 60s, I look and feel better than ever before! I look in the mirror and love what I see. Whenever I see a photo of myself, Iām pleased with what was captured. I feel vibrant, healthy, and confident! And myĀ Ā looks amazing.
Iām a firm believer that thereās nothing wrong withĀ , but I have yet to meet a woman who wants to look older than she is. This is normal!
Over the past decade, I have found tips that helped me slow down theĀ Ā on everything from nutrition to sleeping toĀ ,Ā Ā andĀ Ā routine. Youāll love learning how to look younger than your calendar age.
Anti- Ā Tips to Make You LookĀ
1. Frame Your Face
Eyebrows play a big role in making you look younger. Keep your eyebrows trimmed and shaped. This helps frame your face and draws attention to your eyes.
2. Decrease Sugar Intake
Or if you can, cut it out altogether! Sugar is an inflammatory food that will showĀ Ā effects on your face. Not only that, but it can inflame your brain, making concentration and memory more difficult and challenging.
If cutting out sugar feels too daunting, I recommend substituting it with monk fruit sweetener and eating sweet fruits. This will satisfy the sweet craving and help you move into a healthier habit!
3. Get Enough Sleep
Make this a priority. Sleep changes everything and is a critical part of slowing theĀ ! Many women try to use the late-night hours to finish their to-do lists or get alone time. I understand completely. But your body needs adequate rest, as this is the time when cells regenerate and any inflammation in your body drops. If you keep your adrenaline going long after your body wants to rest, you will continue to produce stress hormones, instead of allowing your body to wind down.
Start small. Start going to bed 15 minutes earlier for one week, and then add another 15 minutes the next week. Make a point to reduce screen time beforehand so your brain can start to produce melatonin, which will help you fall and stay asleep faster.
With more sleep, youāll feel and look more energetic and happy.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
This includes pesticides and industrial solvents such as paints and varnishes. Even household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can overtax your system. When the body tries to process these chemicals from the environment, it can causeĀ chronic inflammation which wears down the cells.
Switching to more natural-based products will immediately relieve your bodyās detoxification system and slow down theĀ . This applies everywhere in your life from gardening and household work to yourĀ Ā andĀ Ā routines.
5. Eat More Grapes
Yes, I said grapes! Sorbitol, which gives grapes, berries, plums, and pears their sweetness, is a humectant, a substance that attracts water when applied to theĀ , helping it absorb and retain moisture. Itās a natural treatment forĀ Ā and can be helpful regardless of yourĀ .
Fueling your body with natural sources of moisture is especially effective when combined with using appropriate creams and lotions.
6. Care For Your Face
I am meticulous about myĀ Ā routine, especially on my face. Otherwise, itās the first place to show signs ofĀ . If youāre brand new to the world of skincare, these products are essential:
- Apply retinol (Vitamin A) moisturizer, such asĀ Ā Recovery Serum
- Use a high-qualityĀ Neck Restoring CreamĀ forĀ Ā tightening
- Be vigilant about using natural sunscreen, and avoid being outside during the time of day when the sun is most direct.
7. Switch Out Facial Products
Ditch the harsh soaps and cleansers and switch them with gentler ones. Also, skip any toners that contain alcohol as these will dry out yourĀ Ā and increase the appearance ofĀ . Remember to moisturize day and night ā itās well worth the few moments it takes to apply a moisturizer twice a day.
If you would like to know more about theĀ Ā I personally use, then Iām thrilled to share with you my anti- Ā product line.
These products are essential in my personalĀ -health regimen, and I use them every day. I am so excited to help you simplify your skincare routine and get powerful results from the most essential ingredients yourĀ Ā needs.
8. Care for YourĀ
When you were younger you might have hadĀ , but part of theĀ Ā isĀ , so considerĀ styles and products that add volume to theĀ Ā . Also, use deep conditioners on a regular basis to nourish and stimulate resulting in moreĀ .
Youāve got some great options for aĀ Ā based on the right haircut. I particularly love the wayĀ Ā looks on women over 60.
What about color? You can have a lot of fun with yourĀ . I put together a list of theĀ bestĀ Ā colors for women over 60Ā ā it goes beyond the sandy blonde we see so much of!

9. Smile Often & Care for Your Teeth
Smiling instantly makes you look more youthful. Healthy, white teeth are attractive and can boost your inner confidence.
But what if youāre not proud of your teeth?
Neglected teeth can lead to gum disease and gingivitis, not to mention they have a significant negative impact on your confidence. What can you do when youāre afraid to show your smile?
Start small andĀ whiten your teeth. Itās very affordable and easy toĀ whiten your teethĀ from home. While other dental procedures to improve your smile vary in cost, they are worth it. Talk to your dentist about what would be a good starting place and go from there.
10. Take Care of Your Hands
The back of your hands have very gentleĀ , so itās important to show them some TLC. The back of your hands will show signs ofĀ Ā due to sun exposure and overall use!
Use hand cream regularly and exfoliate your hands with lemon and salt. And donāt forget to apply sunscreen when you go outdoors!
11. Load Up on Vitamin K & Lycopene
We canāt forget about nutrition! Vitamin K is found in kale and other green vegetables such as spinach, collards, Swiss chard, parsley, lettuce, and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin K helps your blood coagulate, reducing the impact of bruising and stretch marks while potentially creatingĀ .
Lycopene can be found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables (but not cherries and strawberries, interestingly). It gives theĀ Ā powerful antioxidant protection againstĀ Ā with some research showing that it can reduce the future impact ofĀ .
12. Eat Oily Fish
Wild Alaskan Salmon is a great example of an oily fish, which is rich in DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), a compound that boosts muscle tone and is a common ingredient in expensive creams for matureĀ . Eating oily fish twice a week offers the same benefits. Not to mention, oily fish is incredible forĀ !
13. Exercise 4+ Times a Week
Youāll fend off muscle loss and sleep better when you exercise at least four days a week. Combine cardiovascular exercise for heart and lungs, resistance exercise for muscles, stretching for flexibility, and balance exercise for coordination.
Weight training is an incredible option for bone health and will fight against osteoporosis, all while making you feel strong and confident as you increase muscle tone.
14. Play withĀ
Ā will allow you to highlight your best feature-your eyes! Youāll want to avoid glittery or shiny eyeshadows, which can accentuate theĀ Ā around your beautiful eyes. Opt for creamy textures or go with matte altogether.
But your eyes arenāt the only place to show a little love. I have a whole collection ofĀ Ā videos for matureĀ Ā to help you choose the best foundation and create a glowy look.
15. Dressing Your Truth
