Bring sunscreen
“My number one tip for aging gracefully is SPF,” says celebrity hair and makeup artist Aaron Barry. “Sun rays accelerate the aging process in everyone, regardless of age, gender, race or skin type.” On top of that, it increases the risk of skin cancer.
With the advent of SPF primers, “now you can even prep your skin for makeup,” Barry explains. Before applying makeup, I find that Thrive Causemetics Sunproof 3-in-1 Priming Sunscreen with SPF 37 works well. It not only creates the perfect foundation but also moisturizes, regulates oil and most importantly protects the skin from harmful UV rays.
Makeup lifts and brightens eyes
The droopy eyelid effect can occur because people apply eye shadow to their natural eye shape, as Barry points out. Applying eye shadow upward and outward toward the outer corner of the eyebrow is a guide for me when I want to enhance the look of my eyes. This will make your eyes look longer and longer.
In addition, Barry advises you not to wear heavy eyeliner. According to him, it can “look rough and draw attention to lower eyelid drooping.” Instead, he recommends lining the inner upper lash line with a pencil to create a tight line across the top of the eyelid. According to him, it doesn’t stand out too much but it “still frames and shapes the eye”.
Daily exercise
Try to get up and move about 30 minutes a day. If you find that spreading it out throughout the day is more manageable, Dr. Pinkerton recommends doing so. Doing gentle yoga, going for a walk or even doing weights or Pilates if you’re in a very buoyant mood are all viable options.
