We often hear it: as people age, their looks naturally go in the opposite direction.
But there’s no benchmark for when to stop looking good. In short, you can still appear very attractive and sexy at 60. It’s all down to how you portray yourself in subtle acts. And that’s basically what we will look into in this blog post.
So if you’ve already left your youth behind, here are subtle ways to look smart and attractive as you age.
1. Wear comfortable, stylish clothing
Your outfit influences how viewers perceive your general appearance. So as you age, rather than settling for clothes stereotyped as older people’s wear; go for comfortable, colorful (red makes you look smart) fabric that makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Also, never compromise your comfort for anything, as you tend to smile and look smarter when comfortable.
2. Drink more water
Dryness comes with age. From your skin to your hair, your body cells begin to dry from the inside out, making wrinkles more conspicuous. Staying hydrated will improve your health and skin appearance.
3. Prioritize cardio
You may be of the mindset that age comes with weakness, compelling you to stay away from rigorous physical activity. But the truth is that you need it more than ever. People who get sedentary as they age tend to look old faster and become less flexible and agile.
To remain smart and energetic in your older years, do about 30 minutes of cardio like running and jogging every evening. It can help you get a toned body and consequently look more attractive. And you wouldn’t feel weak due to a lack of activity.
4. Work on your hair
The older you get, the more likely it is to have hair loss and breakage. If your hair has become dry, grey, and brittle with age, consider cutting them short and dying it.
That’s because shorter hair appears more kempt than longer ones. Also, regular hair cuts reduce the chances of breakage. If your hairline is receding, hair restoration may be your best bet to look youthful and smart again.
Serum obtained from your blood will be injected into specific areas of your scalp to reactivate dormant follicles. Clients who have obtained hair restoration at Nubo Spa have also expressed satisfaction and an improved sense of confidence in their looks after their hair started growing thick again.
5. Switch your regular skincare with age-appropriate products
You know those skincare products you’ve been using since your teenage? When you cross the 40s, it may be time to ditch them. Yes, do away with anything that has to do with acne (this wouldn’t be a problem as you age), and go for products that help retain moisture and oil.
Use a mild cleanser that won’t wipe off the oil from your face completely, and apply relatively heavy moisturizers before bedtime.
6. Quit bad habits
You’re already aware of the fact that smoking and excessive use of alcohol is bad for your health. But, what you probably don’t know about yet is that smoking increases skin aging. And, now’s the time to stop these habits before it gets too late.
7. Use contact lenses instead of glasses
While full-rim glasses make you look more intelligent, they tend to give off geeky and, well, less attractive vibes compared to rimless glasses.
So as you get older, it is advisable to switch to contact lenses or rimless glasses.
8. Don’t always smile in photos
Wearing a smile is the cheapest way to look vibrant and approachable. But counter-intuitively, research shows that people who smile more in photos are perceived as older than others who don’t.
Final words
Looking sharper and more attractive as you age is all about making subtle choices regarding your appearance and lifestyle. If you’ve practiced a very healthy lifestyle, chances are you will remain youthful well into your older years.
