This includes pesticides and industrial solvents such as paints and varnishes. Even household cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can overtax your system. When the body tries to process these chemicals from the environment, it can cause\u00a0chronic inflammation which wears down the cells.\n

\n\n

Switching to more natural-based products will immediately relieve your body\u2019s detoxification system and slow down the\u00a0aging\u00a0process. This applies everywhere in your life from gardening and household work to your\u00a0hair\u00a0and\u00a0skin\u00a0care\u00a0routines.\n

5. Eat More Grapes\n
Yes, I said grapes! Sorbitol, which gives grapes, berries, plums, and pears their sweetness, is a humectant, a substance that attracts water when applied to the\u00a0skin, helping it absorb and retain moisture. It\u2019s a natural treatment for\u00a0dry\u00a0skin\u00a0and can be helpful regardless of your\u00a0skin\u00a0tone.\n
Fueling your body with natural sources of moisture is especially effective when combined with using appropriate creams and lotions.\n
6. Care For Your Face\n
I am meticulous about my\u00a0skin\u00a0care\u00a0routine, especially on my face. Otherwise, it\u2019s the first place to show signs of\u00a0aging. If you\u2019re brand new to the world of skincare, these products are essential:\n
\n
Apply retinol (Vitamin A) moisturizer, such as\u00a0Wrinkle\u00a0Recovery Serum\n
Use a high-quality\u00a0Neck Restoring Cream\u00a0for\u00a0skin\u00a0tightening\n
Be vigilant about using natural sunscreen, and avoid being outside during the time of day when the sun is most direct.\n\n
7. Switch Out Facial Products\n
Ditch the harsh soaps and cleansers and switch them with gentler ones. Also, skip any toners that contain alcohol as these will dry out your\u00a0skin\u00a0and increase the appearance of\u00a0fine lines. Remember to moisturize day and night \u2013 it\u2019s well worth the few moments it takes to apply a moisturizer twice a day.\n
If you would like to know more about the\u00a0skin\u00a0care\u00a0products\u00a0I personally use, then I\u2019m thrilled to share with you my anti-aging\u00a0product line.\n
These products are essential in my personal\u00a0skin-health regimen, and I use them every day. I am so excited to help you simplify your skincare routine and get powerful results from the most essential ingredients your\u00a0skin\u00a0needs.\n
8. Care for Your\u00a0Hair\n
When you were younger you might have had\u00a0thick\u00a0hair, but part of the\u00a0aging\u00a0process\u00a0is\u00a0thinning\u00a0hair, so consider\u00a0styles and products that add volume to the\u00a0hair\u00a0. Also, use deep conditioners on a regular basis to nourish and stimulate resulting in more\u00a0healthy\u00a0hair.\n
You\u2019ve got some great options for a\u00a0youthful appearance\u00a0based on the right haircut. I particularly love the way\u00a0short\u00a0hair\u00a0looks on women over 60.\n
What about color? You can have a lot of fun with your\u00a0hair\u00a0color. I put together a list of the\u00a0best\u00a0hair\u00a0colors for women over 60\u00a0\u2013 it goes beyond the sandy blonde we see so much of!\n
Want to keep your natural gray?\u00a0You can wear\u00a0grey\u00a0hair\u00a0without looking old!\n
9. Smile Often & Care for Your Teeth\n
Smiling instantly makes you look more youthful. Healthy, white teeth are attractive and can boost your inner confidence.\n
But what if you\u2019re not proud of your teeth?\n
Neglected teeth can lead to gum disease and gingivitis, not to mention they have a significant negative impact on your confidence. What can you do when you\u2019re afraid to show your smile?\n
Start small and\u00a0whiten your teeth. It\u2019s very affordable and easy to\u00a0whiten your teeth\u00a0from home. While other dental procedures to improve your smile vary in cost, they are worth it. Talk to your dentist about what would be a good starting place and go from there.\n
10. Take Care of Your Hands\n
The back of your hands have very gentle\u00a0skin, so it\u2019s important to show them some TLC. The back of your hands will show signs of\u00a0aging\u00a0due to sun exposure and overall use!\n
Use hand cream regularly and exfoliate your hands with lemon and salt. And don\u2019t forget to apply sunscreen when you go outdoors!\n
11. Load Up on Vitamin K & Lycopene\n
We can\u2019t forget about nutrition! Vitamin K is found in kale and other green vegetables such as spinach, collards, Swiss chard, parsley, lettuce, and Brussels sprouts. Vitamin K helps your blood coagulate, reducing the impact of bruising and stretch marks while potentially creating\u00a0younger looking\u00a0skin.\n
Lycopene can be found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables (but not cherries and strawberries, interestingly). It gives the\u00a0skin\u00a0powerful antioxidant protection against\u00a0UV rays\u00a0with some research showing that it can reduce the future impact of\u00a0sun damage.\n
12. Eat Oily Fish\n
Wild Alaskan Salmon is a great example of an oily fish, which is rich in DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), a compound that boosts muscle tone and is a common ingredient in expensive creams for mature\u00a0skin. Eating oily fish twice a week offers the same benefits. Not to mention, oily fish is incredible for\u00a0brain health!\n
13. Exercise 4+ Times a Week\n
You\u2019ll fend off muscle loss and sleep better when you exercise at least four days a week. Combine cardiovascular exercise for heart and lungs, resistance exercise for muscles, stretching for flexibility, and balance exercise for coordination.\n
Weight training is an incredible option for bone health and will fight against osteoporosis, all while making you feel strong and confident as you increase muscle tone.\n
14. Play with\u00a0Makeup\n
Makeup\u00a0will allow you to highlight your best feature-your eyes! You\u2019ll want to avoid glittery or shiny eyeshadows, which can accentuate the\u00a0fine lines\u00a0around your beautiful eyes. Opt for creamy textures or go with matte altogether.\n
But your eyes aren\u2019t the only place to show a little love. I have a whole collection of\u00a0makeup\u00a0videos for mature\u00a0skin\u00a0to help you choose the best foundation and create a glowy look.\n
15. Dressing Your Truth\n
Instead of looking for quick fixes on the outside, why not start from the inside? My Dressing Your Truth system guides you through the process of determining which of the 4 Energy Types you are, and then fully owning it so you can live it!\n

In my opinion, this may be the most important tip! The key to looking\u00a010 years younger\u00a0is dressing your truth. You\u2019ll discover how wearing the correct colors, textures, fabrications, and accessories will make you look and feel better than ever.\n
Sara, a Rich and Dynamic Type 3 woman shares:\n
\u201cAbout 8 years ago, 48 years old, pre-silver transition. I have done a lot of healing over the past 2 years and got the outside looking like the inside. I\u2019m forever grateful to Carol and her team. I feel different! A great feeling.\u201d\n
