I am already 40 years old and I've seen some women in their 40's still look as if they are in their 30's especially those movie personalities. I am wondering how did they maintain that young look... what about you ladies out there do you mind sharing your beauty secrets?

I am 59 and I have been told I have a very good skin. My daughter complains that I have less wrinkles than she has but she is a smoker. I do not smoke and I try to eat healthly. I use a babies skin wash because I think it is milder and I moisturise day and night. I also use suncream evertime I go out even in winter. I feel that you have to enjoy your life. If you are miserable it will make you look older. Also you must keep your brain active. Mylot helps with that because there are always interesting discussions on here.

I agree with you clean living can really stay us healthy and young and we must also take precautionary measures in whatever product we're using and applying in our face and body. Thanks for your opinion....

IT is because they got lot of money to go to a derma an then say "thank you doc"..lol. In order to have a continuously young looking face you should eat always fruits, get enough sleep, DON't smoke, STAY AWAY of STRESS. And of course, always SMILE to preven wrinkles.

I don't do a whole lot but the thing I do to maintain my skin health I do religiously. I always use sunscreen when I have to spend time outside. I never lay out in the sun or use a tanning bed. There is no faster way to age skin than exposure to the sun. If I want a little extra color in the summer I get mine out of a bottle. I exfoliate with a home made sugar scrub once a week. I apply moisturizer immediately after I wash my face while it's still damp to seal in the moisture. That's about it. Most of my age cover ups are done with makeup! At 49 I've learned a lot of makeup tricks!
Most stars can afford to get microdermabrasion, line fillers, lazer resurfacing, chemical peels, lip plumpers or botox. Surgical nips and tucks are common as well as they get older. There are also several temporary skin tighteners on the market as well. They are usually algae based and can tighten the skin for several hours. Usually very expensive.
The old Alpha Hydroxy acids still are a good alternative if you don't have a lot of money. They work well and aren't extremely expensive.

I am just having a very simple regimen before I sleep, wash my face with a gentle facial foam then put moisturizer after. I don't put much cosmetics on my face because I am always exposed to sunlight especially on weekends. But I think the most important way to maintain beauty is by having a positive disposition in life--this is like being beautiful from the inside out.

Keep a happy disposition. Do a lot of smiling. No to smoking drinking and all forms of vices. Eating healthy foods. Avoid junk foods, salty, fatty too much sweets. Exercise regularly. Drink plenty of water. Get enough sleep. Have a personal relationship with God. Maintain a good relationship with fellowmen. Those are my beauty secret.

Yes I'm also in your age but people won't believe my age. They say that I look very much younger than that. My daughter tells everyone that her mom is going to be 40 her friends thinks that she has a very young mom. Lots of things counts to look younger. The way you dress, the way you behave, the way you hold your self, cleanliness and most of all you shouldn't think of your age. You must always think young. My main secret is that I'm always with a smile. My friends say if they here someone gigling they know that I'm around. Smile will make lot difference to your life.
