7 Easy Things You Can Start Doing Today to Look Younger Tomorrow

7 Easy Things You Can Start Doing Today to Look Younger Tomorrow 1. Eat breakfast! Studies show that people who routinely skip breakfast are 450% more likely to become obese. Eating breakfast jump starts your metabolism for the day - and helps curb your appetite so you don't overeat later in the day. For an easy, low-calorie, nutrition-backed meal, try this: Add 2 tablespoons of oat bran (available at health food stores) to 1 cup of plain low-fat yogurt. Top with blueberries and sliced strawberries or other fresh fruit like banana, apple, grapes. Total calories: Less than 300. Yogurt adds probiotics to your diet to aid in digestion and enhance your immune system. Oat bran adds fiber and bulk. Fresh fruit is a source for Vitamin C plus fiber. You'll find this to be satisfying and delicious. 2. Pick up a retractable eyebrow pencil at your local drugstore. Makeup artists and stylists know that your eyebrows are the most important feature for facial expression. Pale eyebrows make your face look gray and washed out. As we age, our brows often lighten and become sparse. Keep your brows well defined with a soft pencil one shade lighter than your hair if your hair is dark, and one shade darker than your hair if your hair is light. Start by aligning the pencil with the corner of your nose. Mark key points along brow bone. Fill in between each key point. Brush with the groomer brush for a perfect finish. 3. The areas between the inner corners of your eyes and the sides of your nose are the darkest on your face. To brighten your face, dot some concealer or cream eye shadow on the brow bone and another at the inside corner of the eye next to your nose. You can also boost brightness by lining the inner rims of your eyes with a pearly white eye pencil. 4. Exfoliate three times a week before bed - then slather on a rich moisturizing cream. Dead skin cells collect on the surface of your skin making your skin dull and cloudy. You need to eliminate them to unclog pores and reveal smoother, fresher looking skin below. Exfoliating renews texture, and your skin will seem smoother and silkier. Best news of all, your skincare products can more easily penetrate deep into your skin where they can do the most good. 5. Your skin repairs itself at night while you are sleeping - so be sure to get ample sleep - 8 hours for most people. The slight increase in body temperature that occurs while you sleep revs up the absorption of skin care products. Chronic lack of sleep reduces collagen production, cell turnover and barrier repair. Skin looks dull and dry and wrinkles more easily. 6. Sleep on your back with your head raised. This prevents fluids from collecting under your eyes resulting in puffy dark circles. If you wake up in the morning with creases on your face from your pillowcase, be aware that over time these creases will turn into permanent dents and deep wrinkles. That's why it is so important to sleep on your back. 7. Stand up straight. Good posture results in fewer aches and pains, increased energy, balance, and range of motion and fewer health complications as you age. Nothing makes you look older than a slouching, shuffling gait. When you stand up straight, you also look slimmer. With proper posture, you appear taller and up to 10 pounds lighter. Of course, it goes without saying you should stop smoking if you have not already done so. Smoking ages the skin and causes broken blood vessels, enlarged pores, pigmentation spots, lines around the mouth, crow's feet, a dull complexion and loss of elasticity in the skin resulting in wrinkles. For every 10 years you smoke, your skin ages 14 years. Whitney Smith is a direct marketing consultant and copywriter specializing in health, beauty and anti-aging skin care.
