Everyone wants to look good and age gracefully, but with the economy taking a nose dive, those weekly facials are going to have to go on the back burner. You go through the hassle of wearing makeup to try and hide flaws and wrinkles and to make yourself look youthful, but your hair and makeup may actually be aging you.
Follow these 10 tips for reversing your age:
Scientists at L’Oreal, in hot pursuit of the hidden elements of beauty, seem well on their way to disputing the old adage, “beauty is only skin deep.” In fact, their work indicates that what makes hair curly or straight and skin smooth or rough, is much deeper. It actually is linked to molecules within the body.
L’Oreal, one of the biggest spenders on R&D in the personal care market, is researching beauty “from the cell to the gesture,” referring to all aspects of that elusive phenomenon. The company’s broad studies include research into the origins of hair shape, searching for a new ingredient to better protect skin from the sun and understanding the effects of the dabs and strokes a woman in a particular country uses to apply makeup.
Moisturizing, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, regenerating… the list of beauty creams and skin products can go on and on, all promising to give you healthy glowing skin.
While these high-tech and high-priced products might help you get that flawless complexion, all they do is an outside job that does not maximize your skin’s beauty potential.
There’s a lower-priced yet healthier alternative that does just as well, maybe even better. Nutrient–rich foods work from the inside to tap into your body’s natural moisturizing, anti-aging, regenerating and beautifying power. Now that’s literally beauty that comes from within.
In today’s glamour world, the make-up maniacs do not even pay heed to the manufacturing and expiry date of the very cosmetic they are using to enhance their beauty. The cosmetics which lie in the vanity box of any female have a duration in which these have to be used and the number of months of safe use is written inside all of them.
About 89% of the women are not aware of any such information available about these beauty essentials and 68% replace make-up when they fall short of it.

Even in Ancient Times, many people were willing to do even the most bizarre things to become more beautiful and to preserve youthfulness. Spreading elephant dung on the skin, drinking dried and powdered tiger testicles, or even getting stung with scorpions were once considered to be effective ways in retaining beauty and maintaining soft skin.
If you think that people nowadays cannot fall for such beauty taboos, you can never be more mistaken. Even at the turn of the 21st century, there have been a lot of people who were all too willing to go great lengths for silkier skin, wrinkle-free face, and even thicker hair.
