Use Skin Care Products For A Facelift Effect

If you look in the mirror and think “I look old,” but don’t want to spend your hard-earned dollars on expensive plastic surgery or botox injections, you may feel like getting your youthful skin back is a hopeless mission. But you shouldn’t have to just live with the wrinkles and fine lines that age your face just because you don’t want to go under the knife. All you have to do is give yourself a facelift — no scalpel, pain or recovery required!

To give yourself a facelift without surgery, you’ll need a few things. The first is the absolute best eye cream for anti aging, anti wrinkle facial cream and any other anti aging skin care products you use. The second is good quality makeup, and perhaps a lesson from a cosmetologist on correct application for younger looking skin. (Many times you can ask for a demonstration at the makeup counters in department stores. Be sure to select a brand whose products cater to mature skin.)

You should already be cleansing and using your usual anti aging moisturizer daily to prevent the skin from aging any further; these steps should be taken in addition, to reverse the effect of wrinkles and fine lines.

Once you have your anti wrinkle products, you should determine where it is your skin needs a lift. Does the skin around your mouth seem to sag when you’re not smiling? Do your eyes look droopy? Look for specific problem areas that you would like to target; some examples would be around the eyes and brows, on the forehead and near your mouth and jaw line.

Before you complete your usual beauty routine, do a light exfoliation in your “problem area/s” with a soft washcloth, then continue to wash your face and complete your routine. Before you put on any makeup (or head to bed, depending on when you complete your routine), apply your heavier eye cream for wrinkles and anti wrinkle face cream. Allow them to absorb for a few minutes before applying any makeup or doing anything else to your skin. This will help with wrinkle reduction and will encourage firm skin.

When you do apply makeup, whether it’s a few minutes later or the next morning, keep your look natural and light; avoid using heavy, dark colors that can age you. Take the knowledge you acquired about makeup application, and use it to create the illusion of lifted skin. Apply blush high on your cheeks so skin appears firm and youthful, and use brow and eye pencils with a light, steady hand.

With a good skincare routine and correct makeup application, you can make your complexion look years younger. You’ll never have to contemplate going under the knife again.
