Beauty and Aging: I don't look like myself anymore!

Are you looking in the mirror, feeling like you're in your 30s mentally but seeing changes that you can't quite pinpoint?

You're not alone. Many women over 40 or 50 experience a sense of frustration when they say, "I don’t look like myself anymore!" 

You're not quite sure what's changed, but when you look in the mirror, you don’t recognize the person looking back.

Small beauty hacks – big impact

Tackling Common Challenges:

Discover how small changes can rejuvenate your look without breaking the bank. For example:

Firm-up deflated cheeks

Do your cheeks appear deflated? You can restore some volume naturally. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll see results.

Replace missing eyebrows

If you're over 40, check out your eyebrows. Have they faded? Are they spotty? Well-defined brows can revitalize your look. They're an instant pick-me-up for a tired, washed-out appearance!

Smooth under eye puffiness

You can temporarily reduce puffy, tired eyes within minutes with a swipe of an eye lift serum especially designed for sensitive mature skin.

For over 30 years, my goal has been to age confidently, enhancing my unique features naturally without expensive products, procedures, or invasive surgeries.

I'm always looking for skincare products that have the ability to significantly improve the condition or appearance of my skin, rather than providing a temporary fix or concealing imperfections. 

And along the way, I found inexpensive anti-aging treatments, beauty products & eye makeup tips that have worked well. And I like to share them with you.

Below are some basic tips to help you get started:

How effective are at-home treatments: My experience/results

It's important to note that at-home treatments like facial exercises or gentle face peels won't provide the same dramatic results as professional procedures or surgery, and outcomes will differ for each individual.

My before and after pictures are for illustration purpose. So you have an idea of what's possible from at-home anti-aging and beauty treatments.

What causes our face to change: Understand the science behind aging

Many factors contribute to facial aging like poor diet, gravity, loss of collagen/elastin, decrease in facial muscle tone, etc.

But, in my opinion, two factors that make the biggest impact on why we look different are shifts in facial fat pads and bone structure. 

Effects of facial fat pads

Facial fat pads are groups of fat cells tightly packed under our skin. They give your face a plump, full, smooth look. However, over the years, the distribution of these pads spread and change.

For example, pads in the upper part of our face, (around the eyes and cheeks), separate and thin out, causing hollowed eyes and droopy cheeks.

At the same time, the pads in the lower face (around the jawline) increase, causing the area to look saggy, wider and bottom-heavy.

Bone loss and facial aging

Another major impact on facial aging is bone loss…

The bones in your face change. They lose volume and shift (as seen in the picture above). This affects the support they provide to your skin.

When the bones change, the skin on top of them can start to sag or droop.

So, as you age, both the skin and the bones in your face go through transformations that can make your face look different

Facial Exercises

Home-based anti-aging treatments, such as facial exercises and massages, can help counteract some effects of facial aging.

These treatments may help improve muscle tone, reduce puffiness, and promoting healthy skin.

Studies show that massaging the face can provide anti-aging benefits by reducing wrinkles, sagging, and improving overall skin appearance and elasticity.

At-home anti-aging beauty treatments can easily fit into any skincare routine

If you currently get in-office procedures or have had plastic surgery, you can maintain your results longer with certain at-home anti-aging beauty routines.

Some anti-aging techniques, like face exercises, massages, and exfoliating peels, can be preventative and even help slow facial aging.

And, let's face it, the beautiful, healthy glow you get after a face massage cannot be obtained with a Botox injection or a facelift.

NOTE: if you've recently undergone in-office facial treatment, check with your doctor before trying any suggestions on this site. 

Over-the-Counter Beauty Products

Holy Cow! There are so many over-the-counter anti-aging gadgets and products! So where do you start?

I'll Try Anything Once! 

I purchase and test a lot of beauty creams and devices. And while many products fail to thrill me, persistence pays off.

Sometimes, I'm pleasantly surprised how well these affordable facial aging beauty tips work. 

Yes, some may seem a bit funny or strange, but they work. Here are a few of my favorite beauty gadgets and hacks:

• Kansa Wand or the CFF Gua Sha: Inexpensive anti-aging beauty gadgets that work as well as expensive ones.
• Organic vitamin C serum you mix up fresh at home:  Helps lighten brown spot and builds collagen.
• Potent organic face cream: Containing grape seed extract and organic nut oils. It nourishes and hydrates at the same time. A little goes a long way due to its concentrated formula.
• Alpha hydroxy and lactic acid:  At-home exfoliating peels (very cheap!)
• Advanced copper peptides
• Professional grade at-home microdermabrasion machines
• Retinol creams and gels

Tailored solutions: Just for you

Whether it's facial exercises or over-the-counter beauty products, you'll find helpful options that fit into your lifestyle.

At-home treatments and preventive measures can be your allies in aging well.

Hopefully, through my personal experience along with contributions from women like you, you'll find helpful anti-aging options, including:

• hydrating face and eye oils for more lustrous skin
• makeup tips for women over 50 
• skin vitamins and anti-aging foods

Let's share ideas, beauty tips, and have fun while we look amazing and elegant regardless of age.
