Turn back the clock with these 5 simple tips:

1.     Shorten and style your hair

One of the easiest things you can do to completely change your appearance is to get a new hairstyle. Shorter hair with bangs can shave years off your look! Older women will look more youthful when hair does not exceed shoulder length. Side-swept bangs can also add a modern flare to any style, providing a nice frame for the face.

2.     Lighten up on the eyeliner

Using eyeliner is a great technique for bringing attention to the eyes and away from other places you are trying to conceal. However, using too much heavy, black eyeliner may actually be aging you! Using lighter shades of eyeliner will soften your look while emphasizing your beautiful features.

3.     Whiten your teeth

Over time, things like coffee, soda, wine, and tea can be quite abrasive to your teeth. The natural process of yellowing happens to people of all ages, but can be especially detrimental to the appearance women approaching middle age.  Fortunately, there are fixes from inexpensive over-the-counter, at-home whitening treatments to more expensive professional procedures.  Watch and see how two weeks can shave off 10 years!

4.     Lighten your hair

One of the biggest mistakes that women make is trying to preserve their youth rather than adapt to changing circumstances. As people age, the tone of their skin and hair also changes. Lightening your hair can shave years off your appearance. Ask a professional to tweak your color with soft highlights and lowlights. You’ll be astounded at the difference it makes!

5.     Go pink

As you can probably see, the theme of these time-turning tips is softer. When picking out a lip color, shift away from dark reds, maroons, and corals. Lighter pink tones are perfect for a more youthful radiance. By simply adapting a new color palette, you will revamp your look for a newer you!
