My Secret To Look Young



We all have before and after pictures when we’re really young. In a part of our life we always have this imagine what we want to look like when we start getting older every year.

We don’t want the wrinkles to come to our faces and we want to look young as we use to be of course we know that is impossible for our face and body not to change.

Some day our face will full of wrinkles just like when we go swimming for a long time our skin start to look like a raisin.

At least that is only temporary, but as we aged and get older we look different on how well we take care of our beauty even if you are a man or women it is all the same.

My secret is to always look young is having a baby face you never mature and stay young like so many decades from your real age. I am just kidding, but this is the way I look young:

The real secret is always put sunscreen on your face.

Sleep at least 8 hours for your beauty rest.

Always wash your face every morning and night before going to bed. It should always be a regular routine even if you are so tired from a long day.

Put moisturizer on your face.

Eat healthy

Have a massage at least one or twice a week.

Don't smoke!

Get regular facial and diamond peel treatment every three months.

Live simple 

Take your vitamins daily.

Exercise

Do not put so much make up on your face that is a lot of chemicals.

Most important live a stress free life and don't put too much work on your problems it won't be solved in one day just take time to let everything process on its own.
