Mickey Williams' 5 Anti-Aging tips for Under $5
Tip #1: Raid your pantry. People underestimate the aging power of stained teeth. Many teeth whitening products are available, but nothing is more affordable and effortless in restoring your pearly whites than baking soda. Simply mix baking soda with water to make a paste and brush onto your teeth.
Tip #2: Give some lip service. A slip from the lips isn't the only thing that can reveal age. Fine lines and wrinkles on lips add years to the face. Keep lips looking young by moisturizing them daily with lip balm containing SPF-15 sun protection. Also consider looking for an anti-aging lip product, such as Blistex Deep Renewal, that offers hyaluronic acid to improve skin condition and give lips a fuller appearance and Coenzyme Q-10 for moisturization and overall revitalization.
Tip #3: Lighten up. White eyeliner eliminates the red rim that creates a tired and aged look. Gently apply a white or beige liner to the inner rim of eyes for an immediate pick-me-up and eye brightener.
Tip #4: Tame the tweezing. Not only are fuller, thicker eyebrows all the rage this season, they also push the rewind button on an overall look. If brows are over-tweezed or thin by nature, use a light blonde or taupe pencil—regardless of your skin color—to create an illusion of a light shadow for a more natural look.
Tip #5: Use concealer correctly. Using a lightweight concealer as a spot corrector is one of the best ways to hide bags and discoloration and ultimately erase years from your appearance.
