Over 40 and Not Pleased With What You See in the Mirror?

Do you notice changes in your skin and coloring that leave you looking tired or older than you would like to admit? Have these changes affected your confidence and self esteem?

If so, you are not alone.

I hear this consistently from women coming to me for a new look: “I just turned 40+ and everything is different. I don’t look the same and I don’t know what to do.”

As you age, the vibrancy you once experienced in your youth starts to fade. The more you have lived and enjoyed the outdoors, the more it shows in your skin. As you transition into your non-reproductive years your hormones change and this creates changes within your body and appearance. The things you normally do to take care of yourself may not work as well anymore.

We experience life cycles very much like the seasonal cycles of Mother Nature. The more you do now to take care of yourself the more rewards you will reap later in life.

Have you noticed any of the following:
Change in skin tone and elasticity
More blotchiness & sun damage
Less eyebrows and thinning of the hair
Lackluster hair and faded color

Here are the top 5 things you can do for a Healthy Glow:

1. Find a hairdresser who specializes in color and can create a look that enhances your best features. Maintain your color and cut every 4 – 6 weeks.

2. Join me for a make-up lesson using Mineral Make-Up with a built in SPF of 26. I designed Face Options for business women on the go. Click here to find out more.

3. Re-evaluate your skin care regime – if you don’t have one, find a good esthetician and start using one now.

4. Drink more water. Clean water keeps you hydrated and allows for healthier looking skin and body tone. Half your weight in ounces is the recommendation.
5. Avoid the largest contributors to aging: sun exposure, tanning beds, cigarette smoke – both 1st and 2nd hand smoke, alcohol, caffeine and fast or processed foods.

Join me for a class and I will share my beauty secrets with you…
