3 Tips for Looking Your Best as You Get Older
Unfortunately, there’s no “instruction manual” on what to do when you get older, or how to always present yourself in the most graceful possible way as time moves on.
For that reason, among other things, many people end up becoming deeply insecure and concerned, as they age, that they’re going to lose their looks and will have to enter into unknown, and unwelcome psychological territory as a result.
Of course, we all undergo physical changes as we get older, but there’s no reason to see those changes as universally bad, or to believe that you can’t still look good as you age.
As with so many things in life, a positive mindset, and a proactive attitude, can work wonders.
Here are some tips for looking your best as you get older.
Consider looking into medical or surgical options
This is not necessarily a good option for the average person, partly because it can easily lead down a rabbit hole of never-ending procedures – but if there’s a particular feature of your appearance that’s really getting you down, you could consider looking into medical, and surgical options.
These days, for example, treatment for hair loss is more sophisticated than it’s ever been before, and you can find good hair fall treatment at Premier Clinic, among assorted other places.
Likewise, if you’ve got a good deal of loose skin after a major weight loss episode, or are struggling to reconcile yourself to facial wrinkles, a quick surgical procedure might be one way of handling things.
Increase the level of rest, comfort, and TLC you’re getting
You’ve probably heard that stress isn’t very good for you — but are you aware that being chronically stressed will also wreak havoc on your looks?
When you’re permanently stressed, certain “stress hormones” such as cortisol and adrenaline remain chronically elevated, and can damage the various organs in your body – including your skin – as a result.
Of course, that’s in addition to the fact that a chronically stressed state can also throw your other hormones into a state of imbalance, cause digestive issues, insomnia, and more.
As you get older, it becomes more important to increase the level of rest, comfort, and TLC you’re getting in between bouts of hard work, exercise, and everything else.
Often, this alone can work wonders on your physical appearance.
Follow your intuition, and strive for a point of balance in terms of your physical activity, diet, et cetera
In order to look and perform to the highest possible standard, the human body requires productive balance, also known as “homeostasis.”
These days, many people are in a chronically imbalanced state, perhaps due to over exercising and being too strict with their diets, but also, very often, because they are too sedentary and not strict enough with what they eat.
Follow your intuition in determining the right level of physical activity to engage in, the right foods (and the right quantities) to consume, and so on.
If you feel anxious and burned out after each workout, that’s a sign that you need to back off a bit, and eat and rest more. Likewise, if you’re always feeling lethargic, it’s probably a sign that you need to work out more, and sit around less.
