MAKING TEN YEARS YOUNGER

Do you want to look ten years younger?

Here are twelve beauty tips that help you to look younger.

1. Moisturizer.

After every wash, put inert oil on your face. Johnson's Baby Oil is good. Put it especially on your laughter-lines (around the eyes), your forehead, around the mouth and on the neck. You don't need expensive ointments.

2. Eat Good Food.

Eat plenty of fruit, fish and vegetables, drink water. A healthy diet makes for a healthy body, and health makes you look younger.

3. Sleep.

A good sleep will make you look years younger. Go to bed before midnight, as early as possible. Sleep at least eight hours. If you don't get enough sleep you look haggard i.e. old, your IQ will be less, memory poorer, and your reactions slower. You become more prone to disease.

4. Don't Smoke.

Cigarettes contain poisons like formaldehyde, ammonia, arsenic, and benzene. The reason people crave them is because they also contain nicotine, which is more addictive than heroin. Smoking constricts the capillaries in your face. This is why smokers look pale. It ages the skin. A smoker is essentially in a constant state of ill-health; weaker immune system, less energy, less stamina. In time smoking can lead to serious disease. It lengthens recovery time from other diseases.

5. Don't Drink Alcohol.

Again, alcohol is a poison. Drunkenness is a mild form of poisoning; hence its alternative name: intoxication.

6. Don't Sunbathe.

Sitting in the sun for hours is weak-minded. Look at the great beauties, the older ones. They kept well out of the sun; their skin is milky white.

7. Don't Dye Or Bleach Your Hair.

Unless your hair is grey or mousey, leave off putting chemicals on it. If you are healthy, your hair will reflect this. Bleaching is bad for your hair, and you may damage the follicles. If the dye doesn't suit your skin tone, it won't make you look good anyway.

8. Don't Wear Formal Clothes.

Dress younger, look younger!

9. Don't keep beard or moustache or long hair (for men).

If your hair is thinning and long or you have a beard or moustache, you'll look older by ten years. Conversely, a short hair-cut and a clean-shaven face looks very younger.

10. Don't Have A Cosmetic Surgery.

Our perceptions of human beauty rely on very subtle clues in another's face; small lines, dimples, contours, expressions. A cosmetic surgeon cuts these out, and you are left with a mask. You lose some of your personality. You will become a type of a Hollywood social x-ray, a waxen-faced thing.

11. Don't Over-diet, Over-exercise.

A slightly fleshy face looks younger; the wrinkles fill out a bit. A bit of exercise gets the blood flowing, and reminds your muscles they exist. Too much intense exercise (more than two hours a day), a low carbohydrate diet look haggard, worn out and old.

12. Don't Worry!

Stress and worry make you haggard, and pre-dispose you to disease. They keep you awake at night, and ruin the quality of your sleep. Meditation can resolve your problems before you go to sleep at night. Observe your thoughts and emotions dispassionately.
