It's not easy to look your best. There are so many techniques, treatments, procedures, creams, pastes and powders out there. How do you make sense of the whole thing? In this section, I am going to to present the most effective and healthiest recommendations based on my own research and on my own use.
Injections and procedures are a matter of personal choice. If you think your best appearance will come with Botox, Collagen or face lifting, then go for it... But use moderation. Overdoing these treatments will leave you looking artificial and even older. Always use a reputable doctor and keep it toned down.

But, there's so much you can do on your own.

1. Take care of your skin! Use eye and skin creams at night. Use a daytime skin creme with SPF 20 to protect against sun and elements. You don't have to get the most expensive, and certainly, stay away from the drug store brands. Find a high quality product that will actually enrich, hydrate and brighten your skin.

2. Get a fresh, new, up-to-date haircut and style... (Nothing says "old" like those football helmet hairdos.) And try some highlighting!

3. Upgrade your makeup. Styles have changed, makeup has changed, and you have changed. The old style looked good 20 years ago, but it's way past time to let it go and find something new and hip. Take advantage of a makeover offer at a local, quality department store... Experiment... Ask around... Take a look at my featured items in this website, and notice the price break on many of the products!

4. Schedule regular facials... It keeps the skin taut, wrinkle free, and it feels soooo good! Salon treatments can be spendy, so consider a home treatment like the Galvanic Spa System I talk about in this website. It's affordable and it works!!

5. Get those eyebrows professionally shaped and tinted. You can lose the grey while accenting your beautiful eyes and giving your whole face a fresh "wide awake" look.

6. Get trimmed up. Change your diet to include lots of healthy, fresh vegetables and fruits. Lose those extra pounds. Jog or workout to tighten up your muscles. Yes, it's a lot of work, but the results are fabulous and you'll feel like a new person... A new, Forever Young YOU!
