Ten Years YoungerI like to watch the TV show "Ten Years Younger", on TLC at 1pm ET/PT.On the show, they put someone in a clear box on the street in Los Angelos, CA, and poll passers-by how old they think the person looks. Then they give the person a complete makeover, and put them back in the box. The goal is to make the person look 10 years younger (duh!). It always works. Here are some of the things they do to make the people look younger. * get teeth whitened * visit a plastic surgeon to have laser treatments on their face to remove age spots, wrinkles and bags under the eyes. * get lasik surgery, or get a new updated pair of eyeglasses * haircoloring and new hairstyle * eyebrows colored and shaped (even the guys). * new updated clothes * makeup * visit the dentist to get their teeth straighted by grinding them down to stubs and putting on caps. That seems like unecessariliy damage to perfectly good teeth. Here are some cheap at-home things you can do to similuate what they do on the TV show: * whiten teeth with Crest Whitestrips * use fade cream to get rid of age spots. I tried it and it really works! * use a wrinkle eye cream and an SPF 15 face cream every day. There are tons of products for this...just pick one! * you can always get contacts instead of lasik * color your hair, and be sure to keep touch up the roots on a regular basis * color your eyebrows. I know hair color boxes say not to do this...and it's probalby not safe. I do it anyway, and am extremely careful not to let it drip down into my eye. * get a new hair style, and make sure you get your hair cut every 4-6 weeks. (I am guilty of letting my hair go too long between cuts, and it looks very scraggley!!) * While not cheap, I do see adults wear braces, and it would be a lot better than what they do on the show, though it takes a lot longer! They have those invisalign clear braces now. One last note about SPF 15 face cream. If you are young and not yet wrinkled, use this every morning now, to save your face from getting wrinkled when you are older. Use it on your neck too...to keep your neck skin from being baggy when you are older. Someone told me to do this when I was a teenager, and I followed their advice, and I don't have many wrinkles for my age, and the skin on my neck is still nice and firm.
