Eye make-up

As we age, we sometimes neglect our body thinking it is our face that needs the attention only. Having a well cared body, not only you will feel better, but you will glow with self confidence from head to toe.

Start with cleansing and exfoliating. When choosing soap, make sure it is one that contains nutritious oils with avocado, butter or almond. As your skin gets drier and you use a shower gel, make sure it is one with moisturizing properties. It is a good idea when showering or bathing to exfoliate with either a body brush or a product to remove dead skin cells from your body, paying special attention to elbows, knees and heels. Drying yourself briskly with a towel will also remove dead skin cells and improve circulation.

Apply body lotion to smooth and hydrate your skin. If you have very dry skin, use a cream. Pay special attention to your cleavage, as this tends to lose its elasticity first. Elbows and knees also need special attention.

If you have preferred fragrance think of layering by using shower cream/soap, body cream, deodorant and talc as well as the fragrance itself.

Visible hair on body is unattractive at any age. Good news is, as you get older, this becomes sparser and softer. When you want to shave, wax or use a depilatory cream, remember to moisturize after shave.

Nails and hands are an indication of age just like your face, so have a professional manicurist or learn to do it yourself. This is an important part of your overall grooming. Your feet take the brunt of your lifestyle, so they need to be buff and moisturize regularly.

Regular inspections of your feet and toenails might not be as easy as they used to be. A professional pedicure will not only give you glamorous feet, but will ensure that any changes to your feet will be noticed.

Should you expose any part of your body to the sun, you must protect it against the damaging ultraviolet sun rays. Damage is not just superficial with burning or tanning of the skin, the rays actually penetrate to the lower level of the skin and break down the elastic and collagen fibers. It is the major cause of premature aging and skin disease. Whether you are walking to work or gardening or swimming always use a high factor sunscreen or block and remember that when it comes to the sun less is best.

There are many excellent products for achieving an artificial tan without damaging your skin.
