Aging is inevitable, but we can definitely take steps to slow down the process and encounter beauty at any age. What we put inside our bodies is just as important to what we do to the outside. Boost your intake of antioxidant vitamins by aiming for seven portions of fruits and vegetables a day. Not only do they help fight the effects of aging, but this also boots your skin to create its own sun protection, which will fight any UV rays that get through your sunscreen. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day to keep skin cells plump and rejuvenated.

And when using the right makeup colors and textures this too makes a difference. For instance, when using shimmer” on mature skin, the light reflective particles accentuate fine lines and wrinkles, therefore it’s important to use matte textured products on those areas, especially the eyes. For deep-set eyes, use light colors to open the eye, and use dark colors to deepen and contour. Touch Cosmetics’ Natural Eyes Eyeshadow Compact comes complete with all the right textures for an enhancing natural look, $28.00; available at www.touchcosmetics.com. A silicone based foundation primer is also vital before applying foundation. Skin will be silky smooth without clogging pores and this allows for a smooth even application. Lastly, “Go for the Glow.”Add shimmer to cheeks for a youthful radiant glow, Touch Cosmetics’ In-Dispensable Angle Glow, $21. Always remember, you’re worth all your efforts, so here’s to a healthy beautiful you.
