One cannot escape the phenomenon called aging. It is a natural process, and one should embrace it. Aging means you have learned many lessons of life, done the work, and now you can sit back and relax without stressing. However, it doesn’t mean that people who are aging should stop focusing on their appearance. Aging can change the appearance of an individual. From wrinkles to white hairs, dark spots, pale skin, and more, aging indeed is not all perks. Nobody is telling you to spend all your retirement money on salon visits, but you can do something to age beautifully. 

Experts at Halo Health Care have emphasized on hair, makeup and skincare tips that every senior should think about. These guidelines from the experts can help you intensify your natural beauty to make you look as youthful as you feel.   

#1 Hair 


 
Your hair makes up for the large part of how you present yourself to the world. It doesn’t matter how old you are; your look can make substantial contributions to your wellbeing and satisfaction. Aging can affect your hair, but by following a few simple things, you can take care of your aging hair. 

Hairstyle

With aging comes thinner hair. Use products that add volume to your hair such as a thickening shampoo and avoid the use of mousse, gels, and other heavier products as they can influence your scalp negatively. 
If your scalps are exposing, you should get a haircut from the sides and the back in order to show an equal amount of scalp.
Men with fragile hair may consider completely shaving it all. It will be a more masculine move and will look pretty good. 
For women, a short bob haircut is recommended as it is easy to care for. But medium and long hair are viable options only if you have thick hair. 
To deal with the greyish shade, lowlight is a great solution. It is a procedure where every strand of your hair is dyed using darker colors.   

Hair-healthy Diet

Oatmeal, eggs, fish, iron-foods like spinach and tangerine, and almond are excellent for healthy hair.
Deep conditioning with coconut oil, argan oil, or Moroccan oil on hair is recommended. 

#2 Makeup


 
Makeup is empowering and helps you express yourself as it makes you feel like the best version of you regardless of your age. Age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines are the common signs and symptoms of aging. But you can rely on little makeup to put your best face forward. 

Before applying makeup, prepping your face is a must. The use of a primer and a hydrating moisturizer is recommended. They will amplify your natural skin tone while reducing wrinkles, and large pores. 
Only use a lightweight foundation. It will make the base look radiant and natural. Heavy foundation can result in enhancing the appearance of wrinkle and fine lines. Use a dampened makeup brush to apply the foundation. 
For tackling problems like redness, age spots, and dark circles, use of a concealer is beneficial. Only apply the concealer to the foundation and not the other way around.    
Add a bit of flush color to your cheek. Cream blush is recommended, but you can use any shade according to your skin tone and texture. 
Choose lighter lipstick colors, or you can stick to moisturizing lip-glosses.  
Avoid glossy eyeshades as aging skin on the eyelids is loose. 
Groom your eyebrows. You can brush them up with some color to depth to them.    

#3 Skincare 

Aging skin is more sensitive to the outer environment. So, it needs extra protection and care. Seniors should take extra care of their skin, as they are prone to severe skin health complications. 

Eat the right foods rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. These foods help the skin feel and look good. Skin-friendly foods include avocados, salmon, walnuts, berries, melons, and green vegetables. Try to include these in your daily diet. 
Stay hydrated as it will help you lessen the appearance of your wrinkles.
Aging skin tends to get dry especially during the winter season. So it is advised to use a humidifier to eliminate problems like cracking skin and redness. 
When getting out in the sun, always wear a good sunscreen to keep your skin protected from the harmful UV rays emitting from the sun. Moreover, invest in quality protective clothing as well.
Sleep on the back to avoid the formation of more wrinkles on your face. It is found that seniors sleeping with their faces on the pillow often have more wrinkles. 
Refrain from excessive washing, avoid harsh soaps and use a good-quality moisturizer.
