If there was a magic trick to make us look young and glowing forever, let’s face it, most of us would be up for waving that magic wand. But until someone invents a miracle youth-preserving potion, we’re happy to age gracefully and arm ourselves with the tricks and know-how to help make ourselves look more youthful every day.
Fortunately, there are many products out there that can instantly help you turn back the clock on your appearance without going under the knife or forking out big dollars on in-salon treatments. From skin care, to make-up, to hair, to health, read on to find out the tips and tricks for looking younger in a matter of seconds.
BLUR THE LINES
Blurring products are definitely a-buzz in the skin care industry, and for a very good reason. Not only do blurring products smooth the skin’s surface, but they can also provide amazing benefits for the skin. Once applied, the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Magic Blur Instant Skin Smoother immediately blurs the appearance of lines, pores and wrinkles while reducing shine thanks to a combination of light reflecting ingredients such as silicon elastomers, silica, and skin smoothing polymers. Following the Instant Skin Smoother with the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Magic Blur Daily Anti-Ageing Moisturiser will not only further improve the appearance of skin with its blurring benefits, but it will also help deliver long-lasting hydration and smooth out wrinkles and lines thanks to the addition of Pro-Retinol A and Dermalift, all at an affordable cost.
COVER GREYS ALL DAY
Whether you have a couple of grey strands here and there or regularly colour over your silvery streaks, keeping grey hair constantly covered can be a hard task. Thankfully, there are products out there that can be used every day to temporarily hide them. The Ambiance Brunette Tinted Volume Styling Dry Shampoo is a coloured dry shampoo that not only refreshes hair, but helps conceal greys by simply dusting the pigmented powder onto your roots. Alternatively, the ModelCo Hair Mascara can be swiped over greys leaving them instantly out of sight. What greys?
BRIGHTEN UP
Dullness and sallow skin under the eyes does no one any favours when it comes looking young and fresh-faced. The trick is to counteract dark shadows by using a product that will reflect light off that area and make it appear brighter. Arm yourself with an illuminating pen like ck one color 3-in-1 or Jane Iredale Active Light Concealer and blend the product in using your fingertip to give the illusion of luminous, fresh eyes.
GUZZLE THE GREEN STUFF
You’ve probably heard of chlorophyll, but did you know that it’s actually amazingly beneficial for the health of your skin? Sipping around 100 to 200 milligrams of chlorophyll such as Swisse Chlorophyll ($22.95 500mL, www.swisse.com/au) mixed with water each morning can help increase the transportation of oxygen around your body, helping to clear skin, give it a healthy glow and lessen inflammation.
