My Timeless Tips for Embracing Beauty at 50+
Nourishing My Skin
Taking care of my skin has become a top priority as I’ve gotten older. I’ve learned that hydration is the key to maintaining a healthy complexion. I make sure to use a moisturizer, such as Colleen Rothschild Sheer Renewal Cream, and apply it diligently both morning and night. To promote cell turnover and reveal fresh, glowing skin, I incorporate a gentle exfoliation routine by using Colleen Rothschild Dual Enzyme Polish a couple of times a week. I also understand the importance of protecting my skin from the sun’s harmful rays, so I make sure to wear sunscreen.
Enhancing My Natural Beauty
Makeup has become my ally in accentuating my best features and boosting my confidence. I’ve embraced a makeup routine that enhances my unique features rather than trying to hide them. I opt for this Charlotte Tilbury lightweight foundation in the shade medium 8 to even out my skin tone and use a touch of this Jones Road Eye Pencil in shade 12 to camouflage any imperfections all over my face. I use Jones Road Eyeliner in brown to make my eye color stand out. Softly defining my brows and applying a coat or two of Jones Road Mascara in black opens up my eyes. To complete my look, I choose the Jones Road Miracle Balm in flush and Miami Beach for an all over glow and a lip tint in Just Peachy layered with pastel pink lip gloss that flatters my complexion.
Embracing Hair Care
Just like my skin, my hair has undergone changes in texture, density, and color. Embracing these changes has been liberating. I consult with my hairstylist who specializes in finding a cut that flatters my face shape and suits my lifestyle. Adding layers for volume has given my hair a new dimension. I prioritize using moisturizing shampoos and conditioners such as the Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner to keep my locks nourished and hydrated. I have also learned to embrace the fact that my hair is starting to turn gray and I may have to color my hair more often. I’ve been coloring my hair at home for years and use Loreal Preference Medium Brown. Maybe one day when I’m fully gray, I’ll embrace that natural hair color!
Prioritizing Self-Care
True beauty radiates from within, so I make sure to take care of myself holistically. Prioritizing self-care activities has become a non-negotiable part of my routine. Regular exercise keeps my body strong and boosts my energy levels. Engaging in stress-reducing activities, such as going for long walk or a bike ride helps me maintain a peaceful state of mind. Getting enough sleep allows my body to rejuvenate naturally. I have realized that when I feel good, I look good.
Cultivating a Positive Mindset
Confidence and a positive mindset are my most powerful beauty accessories. Embracing the wisdom and self-assurance that come with age has transformed the way I perceive myself. I choose to focus on the positive aspects of my appearance and celebrate the unique beauty that I possess. Surrounding myself with uplifting and supportive friends and family has made a world of difference. I approach life with enthusiasm and let my inner beauty shine through in every interaction.
My strong prayer life helps me stay focused on the Lord’s faithfulness and joy in my life. I thank Him everyday for being with me and lifting me up out of the pit when I’m feeling anxious or afraid.
Beauty is timeless, and as a woman over 50, I have learned to embrace and enhance my natural beauty with confidence. By nurturing my skin, enhancing my features with clean high-grade makeup, embracing the changes in my hair, prioritizing self-care, and cultivating a positive mindset, I have discovered a beauty that radiates from within. Remember, it’s never too late to shine and embrace the beauty that comes with age. Embrace your journey, celebrate your unique beauty, and let your confidence shine through.
