How to Look Younger Part 2 : Men



You are what you wear. We have all heard that expression. When we get older, it is important to look young and feel young. However, we do not want to look like a wannabe teen model. That would be embarrassing. We need solid practical ways to look younger and be age appropriate. Smart- ticks- and -trips.net has some real effective ways to look younger and feel younger.


Mens Tips for Looking Younger #1: Keep a Clean Shave or Well Groomed Facial Hair
Keeping a clean shave gives men a sharper appearance and makes them look well kept.
Keeping a tight shave limits the amount of gray hairs on your face and removes dead skin cells making your face smoother and more healthy and vibrant looking.For those who have some sort of facial hair getting a simple gray hair targeting dye may be an option worth trying.


Tips for Men to Look Younger #2: Use aftershave and use it a lot!
Aftershave has a couple of benefits. It shrinks your pours after application to limit dirt lying in them, makes you smell good, and hydrates the skin .  Shave keeps your skin from drying out and wards against wrinkles and sun damage! Consistent use will give you a younger looking appearance. A good smelling aftershave is very attractive to women. It has a fresh but manly smell and once again makes one come off as well groomed and kept. It is recommended that you use aftershave not only after a shave but every time you get out of the shower. Keep your face hydrated. Applying aftershave up to the bottom and to the right of your eyes where people tend to get wrinkles or "crows feet" is a good tip.

 Tips for Men to Look Younger #3: Exfoliate daily.
As mentioned above removing dead skin cells gives a younger looking appearance.
To remove old skin in the areas that you do not shave (ex. forehead), use exfoliate. Exfoliate is simply face wash with tiny microbeads mixed into the liquid.When you gently swirl and apply the face wash in the shower it gently removed dead skin cells.

 Tips for Men to Look Younger #4: Get a good hair cut.
Finding a good barber or salon can be challenging but it is worth the effort. A well cut head of hair gives a clean and well groomed look.When finding the perfect barber who seems to cut your hair just right and is meticulous at what they do go every 5-7 weeks.A good haircut can make a world of difference. Keeping a shorter haircut also makes one look younger but is not mandatory when trying to stay and feel younger looking.The longer the hair the more you can see gray and the messier it gets in wind and in bed.

 Tips for Men to Look Younger #5: Keep those other places shaved too.
Keeping all the hair on your body shaved or groomed will always keep you looking younger. As men get older they grow longer, thicker (only where you don't want it), and grayer hair. Shave it all and frequently!
The 3 areas that are most important: Your nose, your ears, and down below. Buy a simple eyebrow trimmer but use if for your nose and ears. They are cheaper, smaller, and more nimble than traditional ear and nose trimmers. They cost $5-$10, last for years, and are well worth the investment.Use a hair trimmer or razor for down below


Tips for Men to Look Younger #6: Lose Weight and Get More Muscle
Everyone knows as men age they generally lose muscle mass and gain weight. Well don't be in the "general" crowd.By controlling your eating and weight lifting only 2-3 times a week you will have a better younger looking body shape.Achieving this is not as hard as one might think. With a few changes in your daily habit you will be looking better in no time.


Tips for Men to Look Younger #7: Keep your Heart Healthy
Having a healthier heart slows down aging in all organs and parts of your body, including your skin! Exercising, losing weight, eating better, and gaining muscle are some of the main ways to improving heart health.

 Tips for Men to Look Younger #8: Stop Hair Loss or Keep it Short
If you are losing your hair there are many products out there to limit, slow down, or stop it all together. A little hair is better than none unless you plan to keep a close shave or cut on your noggin.
Propecia works very well and it is very easy to implement. You only have to take a pill once a day to stop hair loss. The downside to this drug is the price. If having hair makes you happy then it is worth the investment. Some pharmacies offer the prescription cheaper than others including on-line pharmacies for an option.If you think it's too late to stop hair loss or are not willing to take a medication to stop it then keep a close haircut. Having longer or ungroomed hair on the sides and back of your head with a bald top make a man look much older. Totally shaving your entire head is also a good look for many and is an option.


Tips for Men to Look Younger #9 Wear Sunscreen and Sunglasses
Skin damage from the sun is one of the chief contributors to looking older. Using Sunscreen even sometimes reduces damage. Skin damage causes premature wrinkling and discoloration not to mention it is the leading cause of the most common cancer in the U.S., skin cancer. Skin damage occurs over time so it's never to late to start taking action


Tips for Men to Look Younger #10 Dress Fashionably 
Was going to keep it to 9 tips but could not leave this important one out. The way you dress directly reflects how people perceive your confidence, style, and age. Dressing sharp and fashionably can take years off of your look. Try new styles and find clothing that fits you well. Take the time to shop. I know most men do not like shopping but taking the time to do it will pay for itself many times fold when it comes to looking younger.
