    5 Sneaky Things That Make You Look Older

    By Jessica Baumgardner, Glamour magazine



    After seeing pictures of Lindsay Lohan when she was sentenced to 90 days in jail plus rehab this past July, many people raised an eyebrow at her appearance. At just 24, she looked swollen, sallow, exhausted-older. Granted, the woman has had a hard couple of years. But even those without addictions and ankle bracelets are at risk too. Many of us are so busy obsessing over little lines that we ignore other signs of aging that can be prevented or repaired with a few easy adjustments. So what could be wreaking havoc on your face? Here's what to watch out for, along with no-brainer ways to turn back the clock.

      Your skin is actually an organ...like your kidneys are an organ, or your liver. Treat it as you would your internal organs. Eat healthy, excersise, use any chemicals sparingly, and treat it gently. Like any other organ of your body, its the only one you've got.

      Number 6: A negative attitude!

      I didn't think Lindsay looked old - I thought she looked matured... like she was wisening up. And if you ask me, that's not a bad place to be. Besides, we need her acting again, don't we? I'd just love to have her back on the big screen doing what made her famous, as opposed to back in the tabloids BEING famous.

      What makes you look older? The amount of days you've spent on this planet.

      So if I follow all of the advice in this article I will look 20 again? Oh wait, these models are all around 20...maybe that's why they show no signs of aging! Show me a 50 yr old with no dark circles or dull skin and then I will be more likely to believe you!

      Wow, a little grumpy The Truth? It's not our fault YOUR wife is fat & lazy!!
    • TheTruth  •  1 year 3 months ago
      The vast majority of women in america are fat and could care less how they look. They are so lazy and spoiled rotten, they get everything they want for doing absolutely nothing. Just look around fat ass women everywhere you look. Go to almost any other (non-western) country, you don't see this sh1t.

      How sloppily this article was composed! The picture for puffy eyes looked fine, the Asian in the pic before it had huge bags. The solution for puffy eyes.. a bath scale? C'mon you gotta be able to find better pictures. The girl who supposedly had dark spots, had a mole on her cheek!

      There are more factors - and a main one is genetics. You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Sun will tear you up too. Hydration is a major key in keeping beautiful skin - considering we are 80% water. Pop doesn't count. For all of these years, the slogan has said, "You are what you eat." Over processing with scrubs, peels, and whatever else is out there toting "Miracle ..." does more harm than good if abused in the effort for instantly luminous and wrinkle-free skin. It doesn't work. They contain ingredients that swell the skin and make it appear to have less lines. An old trick the pageant girls used to use to rid puffiness under the eyes was applying Preparation - H there. NOT a good idea considering it's not for the eye area. Reduces swelling. Dangerous though. Cinnamon (real cinnamon) is what is in those lip puffing sticks and glosses. Just use plain cinnamon and get the same effect and save 20.00. All it does is irritate the skin and causes a reaction. Scrubs are for sloughing and should only be used once a week or less.Young skin (16 - 25) usually doesn't need it. Once you hit 30, it all changes and it's going to go South no matter what you try. Acne can be irritated by this (which is a whole other story). Don't let those dermatologists tell you that greasy foods and sodas do not have a factor in acne. IT DOES! That's what keeps them in business. Caffeine, citric acids, and just pure JUNK overloads the system and has to come out somewhere. Guess where...?
      In a nutshell, wash your face every day and night, use a nice, gentle moisturizer, eat a lot fruits and veggies and drink water. Steer clear of pop and energy drinks (which rot your teeth faster than crack!) and good old deep fried foods. Don't scrub your face with a wash cloth (it creates scratches and causes irritation). Olay and Dove are two of the best soaps on the market and do not dry out your skin. Use them all over. Costs a little more but your skin will love you for it.
      Hint: Lemon juice - over time- will lighten dark circles under your eyes. Just try avoiding getting it IN them. Safer than bleaches and if it does get in your eyes there is no permanent damage.

      Corporate media pushing cosmetics for the billion dollar cosmetic industry. Most of the ingrediants in cosmetics are carcinogenic (cancer causing), and are tested on animals, usually rabbits and beagles. These corporations spend billions on advertising to make you think that you need this toxins to be beautiful and to make you think there is something wrong in being older than 25. It's all a con. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and you will feel much healthier, younger, and the looks will follow. If you let the corporations choose for you, you will lose. It's your choice. Vegnews, vegfamily, Rory Freedman and Alicia Silverstone can help.

      Hi, show me your products on a 50 or 60 year old woman, let me see the difference it makes and then I will believe it works but don't show me a 20 year old, thats crap
    • quixoticbats  •  1 year 3 months ago
      I don't know if these make you look older, but they don't help your appearance at any age. That's certain. If I don't exercise enough or drink enough water, I see the difference in my skin.

      Sorry, my mom stopped wearing makeup in 1966 and her face looks 20 years older than it is, so not wearing makeup is not the solution. She's washed her face with soap her whole life, though, and she worries, so I think those are key.

      Sometimes women look better without makeup. And when they do put make up, They go overkill and end up look like clowns.
