It’s important to use oil based foundations, creamy blushers and moisturizing powders to help your skin appear dewier and give your complexion a little more moisture. Simply by searching for certain words such as dewy, hydrating, or revitalize, you can find the right makeup for mature skin.
Using a mineral oil based foundation is recommended for women under 50, and for those women 50 and older it is suggested to use a creamy foundation. Exercising is important to keep your body and skin fit. As you perspire, you cleanse your skin from the inside out. If you’re older and work out four times a week, you would be able to use the same foundation recommended for woman in her thirties. We certainly do not want to bring attention to fine line, so at all costs, avoid using oil free foundations, powdered blushers, and oil blotting powders.
You may want to re-think the “no makeup” thing. Just by adding a touch of color to your lips or cheeks you can give a sallow complexion a little pick me up. With or without sun damage, mature skin can appear yellow. To give mature skin a more youthful look, wear brighter makeup.
The key to brightening up your face without creating an unnatural or overly made up look is to select foundation, powder and blusher for your individual skin tone and go for subtlety. For example, mature skin is flattered by muted shades of eye shadow (a green shadow with a touch of brown, rather than a bright green) and cream based lipstick in clear, strong colors like pink and coral. But avoid matte (non-shiny) lipsticks, which can make your skin look dry, and frosted eye shadows, which can give your eyes a crepe-like look.
You can take years off your appearance by choosing cosmetic surgery, which will build self confidence at the same time. Having a more youthful look to your face, will not necessarily make you happier. Change something in your life or salvage a relationship. Figure out what your reasons are before you even think about setting up an appointment with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Have realistic expectations. This is after all a expensive and serious medical procedure.
You should also make sure you know about all the available options-surgical and non-surgical-and what they can or cannot do. Collagen injections, facial peels and dermabrasion eliminate wrinkles but won’t tighten loose, sagging skin like an eye lift or face lift will. All cosmetic surgery carries risks, which you should discuss with your dermatologist or surgeon at your consultation.
