HOW TO LOOK YOUNGER
SKIP THE HEAT STYLING
- Younger hair has bounce & shine
- Using a flat iron, curling iron, or hair dryer can lead to dull, flat strands that add years to
your overall appearance - Try giving your hair a rest from heat styling tools by using them less each week
1. Let your hair air dry
2. Skip washing your hair altogether
3. Use a dry shampoo if needed.
USE LOTION ON YOUR HANDS
- The skin on the backs of your hands is very thin, which makes it prone to accelerated aging compared to the rest of your body
- When dry air saps moisture from skin, your hands look even older than they should
- Using lotion helps

2. It will greatly reduce sun damage, which appears as brown spots & wrinkles
3. Rub an SPF 30 moisturizer onto the backs of your hands every morning
APPLY SPF EVERY DAY
- Dermatologists always tell you to wear sunscreen every single day to protect against skin cancer
- Using the SPF is also the most effective tool in your anti-aging arsenal
- A 2013 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that people who applied SPF 3 - 4
days a week were less likely to suffer from skin aging compared to those who applied it at
their discretion - Use the SPF every day, rain or shine
- Use more than you think you need
AVOID FOODS THAT STAIN YOUR TEETH
- White teeth are seen as a sign of good health & looking younger
- Worst tooth stainers are dark, hot, sticky foods like bbq sauce, soy sauce, red wine, coffee
& cola

are loaded with it.
KEEP YOUR SMARTPHONE ADDICTION UNDER CONTROL
- Over time, keeping your head down when you’re texting or scrolling through Facebook promotes wrinkles that ring your neck

at eye-level & use those as a reminder to keep your head up while using your phone

gums - This will result: cleaner teeth free of yellowing & pinker gums instead of red gums which are a sign of gum disease
