10 Beauty Secrets for Staying Young and Beautiful

As life expectation increases so does our desire for the beauty of youth. For most people, this desire will remain a mere wish. Because what can anyone do about the heartbreaking signs of graceless aging? Nothing, right? Wrong.  A lifetime of beauty and youth is quite attainable. You just have to be in on the latest beauty tips. Which is why we have compiled a comprehensive list of beauty secrets that can help you stay young and beautiful.

Retinol is the Best Kept Beauty Secret
To stay young and beautiful, it is important to choose your beauty products wisely. Beautyrobber often gives excellent beauty tips. Alternatively you can do some research. But beauty experts and celebrities often choose skin products that are rich in retinol. Retinol is found in Vitamin A rich foods and is magical in reducing facial wrinkles, unclogging skin pores and removing acne and blackheads. If you’re on a low budget, don’t worry. You can benefit from the anti-aging properties of retinol by going the DIY route. You can prepare and apply a carrot face mask (using carrot juice and honey) or a paprika and almond oil mask. Routinely applying these facial masks will definitely keep your skin smooth and beautiful.

Eat Healthy
Maintaining a healthy diet is key to staying young, healthy and beautiful. Eat more than five different portions of fruits and vegetables daily. Keep a diet that is rich in lean proteins, good fats and oils. Avoid processed and junk foods. Processed foods cause your body to release free radicals which are harmful to your overall health. These free radicals make the skin deteriorate and ultimately, fade.

The Magic Called Exercise
Want to stay young and fit? Make an effort to establish and enjoy a regular exercise routine. Before you launch into a tirade of reasons why you can’t exercise, take a deep breath.  Eating healthy foods and choosing great skin products are wonderful, but there is nothing as rejuvenating as exercises. Start small. Dance often. Climb staircases often. Do five-minute full-body workouts such as sprawls and stretches. They are fantastic for toning muscles in the arms, legs, chest and back. Visit youtube for workout tips. Not only do exercises tone the muscles, they help your heart pump and circulate blood while removing body wastes.

Sleep
Never deprive yourself of your beauty sleep. Yep. There’s a reason sleep earned that title.  Beauty experts recommend at least eight hours of sleep to help relax the brain and the muscles. The eyes cleanse themselves during sleep so as to stay healthier and brighter. Lack of sleep reveals itself in ugly bags beneath the tired eyes. You can mask these with expensive lotions, but it won’t be the same as sleeping. Treat your body to the sleep it requires  to renew and rejuvenate itself.

Start Skin Treatments Early In Life
Once you hit your twenties, start skin treatments. Don’t wait until you start showing aging signs. But if you’re well past your twenties, don’t worry. You can still replenish your skin with the nutrients it needs to stay smooth and plump. Visit a reputable spa for facial treatments often. Facial treatments increase the skin collagen which gives the skin its smooth and glowing qualities. Exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead cells and moisturize your skin before you go to bed. For more effective results, start early and your skin will reward you when you reach your forties.

Hair Talk
One thing that celebrities and beauty experts do well is wear easy and simple hairstyles. Contrary to popular opinion, simple hairstyles brighten the personality. Simple hairstyles tend to give the face a youthful glow, while complex hairstyles make people look older.
Take care of your hair. Don’t use too many hair products. Choose the best conditioner, shampoo and styler that suits your hair type. Beware of products that damage your scalp and follicles. Some burns never heal. Nobody wants a head riddled with bald patches. Treat your hair with natural butters and oils. Coconut oils, avocado oils, carrot oils, shea butter and cocoa butter help your hair stay soft beautiful and shiny.

Laughter
Remember the old saying, ‘You’re never fully dressed without a smile’? It’s true. But I’d like to add laughter to that list. Laughter is an anti-aging medicine. You require few essential muscles to laugh and smile.  Plus laughter reduces the risk of stress related illnesses. The benefits of laughter are endless. So go out there and buy a rom-com movie or book. Attend a comedy show if there is one around you. But by all means, laugh often. Be sure that it will improve your mood and make you younger at heart. Life is too short to live grumpily.

Enjoy Physical Intimacy
Maintaining a healthy and beautiful love life is a great way to stay young and beautiful.  Love-making has a great effect on the body. Endorphins and other happiness hormones are released into the bloodstream. When the body is filled with so much positive energy, it relaxes and rejuvenates the entire system. What better secret tip to stay young.

Take a Break
Don’t stay subdued by work and the hassles of life. Take time off as often as you can. Walk out to quiet and secure spots where you can just rest. One research showed that people who took fifteen minute naps every hour were likely to be more creative and innovative. This isn’t surprising because rest gives the body time to readjust and recover from the stress and strain borne over time.
While exercises and diets are fantastic, moderation is also important. Don’t overdo anything. Live life one step at a time, and enjoy the journey to your destination. You’ll need all the positive energy you can muster to live a rich life. Want to remain relevant and attractive, take a break.

Drink A Lot Of Water
Drinking three (3) liters of water daily is a great way to stay young and healthy. Staying hydrated nourishes your skin as it boosts your immune system. It refreshes and energizes the body while removing harmful toxins. Using water therapy can help your skin stay firm, youthful and healthy.
