Realistic Beauty? How celebs keep a youthful look
Categories: Alternative & Green Health
After a nearly five-year absence from the big screen, there has been a lot of talk recently about how fantastic Michelle Pfeiffer still looks at nearly 50 years-of-age. Pfeiffer has always been one of the most beautiful women in the world (I don't know of anyone who doesn't think she's stunning), and maybe she still looks incredible at her age because of great genetics and a great deal of attention to skin care. The fact is though that few people look as fantastic at (nearly) 50 as Pfeiffer, at 40 as Nicole Kidman, at 60-plus as Goldie Hawn or (and I can't even believe it's possible) at almost-70 Tina Turner. So what is their secret? In many cases, it has a lot to do with genetics and none of us can improve on what we're born with.
As this piece points out though, many stars do resort in botox injections or expensive and invasive plastic surgeries to keep their youthful look. Many others go with face creams and treatments that most of us can't afford. So does that mean that the rest of us can't possibly age well? Even if you can't afford any of the products and procedures that celebs go for, you can still stay young by staying out of the sun, wearing moisturizer with SPF, eating healthy and drinking lots of water.
Do you have any tips on how to keep a youthful look?

Try the Enfuselle skin care system. It was tested at the Scripps Institute in San Diego with great results. It's good also if you are concerned about ingredients in your skin products. http://www.squidoo.com/provenskincare

I work with a doctor in CA who besides performing cosmetic surgery in Fresno also offers various med spa services, including the Obagi Skin Care line (it's a physician-prescribed system). Anyway, besides what you mentioned in your post – "staying out of the sun, wearing moisturizer with SPF, eating healthy and drinking lots of water," I would add two things to it: (1) getting enough sleep (8 hours a night is recommend although often impossible), and (2) know your skin type.

I went to visit my younger sister in Atlanta. My middle sister after seeing our photos accused me of having a face lift. I am 47. Guess that is a great compliment I do use the 'young living' products. The face cleanser, and toner, I also use some of the essential oils on my face as well as my body I love love love them.
I am also eatting better than I use to. I found some truley delicious organic whole foods that got my body back to a normal healthy state, I dropped 17 unwanted pounds, got rid of toxins from packaged processed foods and got rid of my junk food cravings. I am feeling much better and undoubtly looking better. If you would like to check any of the products , I can definately recommend these two companies.

As stated above...Taking good care of yourself, plenty of sleep, good food, good water, and excersize you enjoy doing - keeping your body in good shape...The less stress the better of course...
For me I gotta' get my sleep and excersize...When I excersize (I love to run) I look great!...
