Beyond the twenties, genes don’t always play a role in the way one looks. It is really the care that one takes of themselves that plays a huge role in how one looks in their forties and fifties. Here are some tips you can follow:

Always use a sunscreen of SPF 30 or more
Use skincare products as per your skin type. If in doubt, consult a dermatologist
Exfoliate at least once a week but avoid if you have very sensitive skin or active acne
Get your beauty sleep of 8 hours a day
Eat your 5 portions of fruit and veggies per day
Eat a diet that is high in antioxidants
Work out 4 times a week
Prratise yoga and meditation to combat stress

Focus on developing your inner self.
Make it more confident, warm, giving and loving – and you are sure to glow with a surreal beauty that no cosmetics can match.

Dr Kiran Lohia (US-trained MD specialising in dermatology)

Stay simple! Don’t overdo your skin routine.
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day, moisturise and wear your sunblock.

So, all you ladies, take notice of your skin and make sure you keep it looking gorgeous at every age. TheHealthSite wishes you all a very Happy Women’s Day!

Lisa Munlua (Senior Make-up Artist at Inglot India)

Be confident, optimistic and always walk with your head held high.
