Women over forty can look absolutely fabulous with a little bit of determination and effort. While you can never turn back the clock on aging, you can be proactive and take care of your health as best you can. In this day and age there are a plethora of beauty treatments for older women that can help. There is of course the tried and true, plastic surgery. Too much plastic surgery can be a bad thing (if you look plastic then it is diminishing returns on your investment since you want to look better not weirder). But judicious plastic surgery done once or twice in a woman’s life time can really help her self esteem as she sees herself getting older.

There are a number of smaller cosmetic procedures that are not cosmetic surgeries but nonetheless helpful. While some women are wary of injections, others love them. Things to try are Botox, Restylane and other wrinkler stopping and plumping injections from Juvederm to Radiesse. There are also laser treatments that can help you with the removal of everything from unwanted hair, to brown spots and spider veins. If that still scares you then you can try any of the special anti aging creams which can have glycolic acids in them to exfoliate old skin and make room for new, and wrinkles creams with natural ingredients from vitamin e to collagen. Keep your skin moisturized.

Lifestyle and health habits become critical as you age not only for your health but for your beauty and appearance too. Weight gain and loss wrecks your skin elasticity, as does smoking and over sun exposure. Try to maintain a healthy and consistent diet and avoid stressors when possible. If dieting is difficult for you try to get on a low impact exercise plan. Regular exercise can really help you feel better and in turn you will find yourself gravitating naturally towards healthier foods rather than having to force yourself.

Just as important as cosmetic injections and procedures is your makeup and fashion style. Learning to do makeup at this age is essential because makeup can really do a number on your face if you get it right. Most women have really no clue how to make up their face to maximize the youthful aspects of it. In general, stick to natural beige, tan, brown colors and always blend you makeup nicely. Look at the mineral makeups for color ideas. Clothing as well can drastically impact your beauty and sex appeal. The most slimming clothes are classic with not too much busy color. Stick to solid colors in earth tone and jewel tones to maximize a classy, neat look. Your choice of colors is actually more important than buying upscale clothing brands. Keep a clean, simple style to maximize you beauty.
