Face reflections
• Our face shape
changes as we age.
Many of us discover our
cheek bones for the
first time in our 50s but
sadly also our crow’s
feet, so makeup mends
to reflect that.

Skin fades
• Skin dries and dulls as
we age. We need to
be conscious about it
and take enough care.
It can be altered with
proper food, soap,
shampoo, hair dye,
face powder,
moisturisers and
creams. Right diet also
helps in skin glow.

Teeth smiles
• Getting your teeth
whitened will knock
years off. Aim for a
natural finish by a
professional, the cost of
made-to-measure
bleaching trays from a
dentist has tumbled so
there’s no need to burn
your gums off with
cheap badly fitting
trays.

Hands may reveal
• No matter how young
your body looks, your
hands will always betray
your age. Your hands are
an important part of the
way you communicate
and, however your hands
are also often the first
place to show the signs of
ageing. Just keep your
hands well moisturised
and nails clean.

Choose your hair color
• Contrary to popular
opinion, grey hair is
finer than pigmented
hair, but because it’s
lost its oils, it feels
coarser. Heavy
conditioners will make
grey hair limp so
choose a style and hair
product that suits you
and make you appear
smart.

How about your hair style
• Cutting your hair
short can be as
ageing as refusing to
chop off your old
straggly, thin locks. If
your long hair is in
good condition,
there’s no reason to
cut it off.

Get dressed
• Get dressed to make
an entrance, not sneak
in quietly through the
back door. Just
because you have hit
50, doesn’t mean you
are invisible.

You can be trendy
• There is no reason why
you shouldn’t buy the
odd item in trendy high
street shops, but the
latest fashion trends will
always look better on
under-nourished
teenagers. Classic
shapes in well-cut
materials will suit you
better.

Know your shape
• You should know your
own shape and what
makes the most of your
best features and
disguises the ones you
don’t like. Apple shapes
suit skinny jeans and tulip
tops, pear-shaped ladies
can work on A-line skirt
and cute short jacket
combo. Be prepared to
experiment with different
styles.

Know your size
• Even if you are bigger
than a high street size,
don’t wear large
shapeless clothes –
they just make you look
bigger. Belts will give
you definition even if
you don’t have a waist.
And never wear
clothes that are too
tight – you will spend all
day tugging at them.

What colour do you chose?
• Neutral colours are the
scourge of the middle-
aged. If you insist on
dark colours, then at
least choose navy over
black, and cream over
white, as monochrome
is too harsh on older
skins.

What designs you prefer?
• Small patterns like tiny
flower prints will make
you look matronly if you
are over 50, but feel
free to experiment with
bold prints.

Overhaul your health
• Your eyes are a good
indication of your
general health. An
experienced optician
can spot anything from
hypertension to
glaucoma. Even if you
have never worn
glasses, it is a good
idea to get your
eyesight checked,
especially after 40.

Anything can enter
• This is the age when
blood pressure and
cholesterol levels start
going up, and while
your chances of
developing other
diseases are also too
high. Mouth is one of
those areas where all
sorts of serious medical
problems can reveal
themselves.

Check on the mirror
• You don’t want to look
in the dressing room
mirror one day and
realise your bottom has
turned completely
square. Even if you
have been a couch
potato all our life, now
is the time to get
moving. At the earliest,
take up yoga or other
classes.

Sufficient sleep a must
• Have sufficient and
uninterrupted sleep in
the night. Your body
interprets lack of sleep
as stress, and releases
hormones that hinder
immunity making you
more susceptible to
illness.

Breathe right
• Breathe! Long, deep
breathing through your
nose will make you feel
more in tune with your
body, stop anxiety,
bad moods and
reduce your blood
pressure and other
allied problems.
Tortoise live long. Know
the secrets.

Menopause …pause
• Talk to your friends
about what you and
they are going through.
It’s important to
understand what’s
happening to your
body. You need to
manage the
menopause –
irrespective the sex that
you are. It is not illness
and you can cope up
with for sure.

Feed your body
• Eat suitable food, dark
green veggies, less oily
and less spicy foods, no
crispy or fried items.
• Dry fruits, fish, wheat,
calcium rich food, iron
rich food would
definitely help

Be good. Look good.
• Avoid extreme dieting,
especially crash diets.
Sudden weight loss will
make you look haggard,
so keep to a consistent
weight by being mindful of
your carb and sugar
intake. Be good. Look
good. Be active. Be
proactive. Never be
reactive. Be lamb not
mutton. Look after your
yourself. Love yourself and
be yourself.

Thank you.
Best wishes.
Take care.
