- 10 tips to help you
look 10 years younger. (casual music) Hi ladies, it's Erin and
welcome back to my channel. If you're new to my channel, hi welcome. My goal through my channel is
to help you look incredible. To help you look and feel your
very best every single day. Today I'm gonna do that by
talking about some amazing and simple beauty tips
that can help you look years younger. Cause who doesn't want to look younger. Since turning 35, I'm 44 now. I have felt like I wanted to look younger. Which is ironic because when I was younger I wanted to look older. Older, want to look younger. So I started to notice wrinkles popping up and things happening and
certainly now in my 40's. I'm noticing maybe once a
quarter something new pop up and so I'm always interested in antiaging. I'm always interested
in looking more vibrant and youthful. And so I wanted to share some
key core simple beauty tips with all of you to help
you on your journey if you are interested in looking younger. You may notice throughout this
video that I change setting and clothes. (laughing) I'm not trying to mess with you I promise. I was really sick when I recorded it and I watched the video back
and was like oh my gosh. I look so bad that no
one's gonna listen to me. That's why I'm re-recording the intro. You guys know what happens. All of us get sick. Sometimes we have bad days. But before I dive in I just want to say I really do believe in
the power of looking good. I feel like when you
look good you feel good and that is so impactful. And it impacts everything from you know. You're a better mom, a
better wife, a better friend, a better sister. Everything in life is
better because it effects how you feel on the inside. So I think it's easy
to discount this stuff as kind of frivolous. And I don't need to take
my time and do this stuff. But it has such value and such power. So use it. Okay, shall we get started? (casual music) The first tip that I want
to share with you guys is to whiten your teeth. Nothing ages you faster
than yellow teeth yuk. And it happens to all of
us if you drink coffee, you drink tea, you drink soda. Just as time goes by our
teeth get more yellowed. I've tried a bunch of options here. I've tried ultraviolet light. I've tried the whiter strips. The best in my opinion is
when you go to the dentist. You get the impressions done. You use the gel that they
give you inside the impression and then use those to whiten your teeth. The great thing about going to the dentist and doing that, at least my dentist. My dentist will give me as
many of these needle gels. It looks like a needle. It's actually a gel inside this syringe. And the gel they have
varying degrees of potency. So I opted for the 10% that I could wear on my teeth all night while I sleep. So that I wake up in the
morning and it's done. That's easier for me. It's also better for me cause I do have some teeth sensitivity. And if you are more of a
like I just want to do it and be done with it in a few hours. You could go with a higher
percentage or a higher potency. I really love the 10%. So I've never had the kind
of results that I have had with these trays that
I got from the dentist. No Crest White Strips. None of the other gizmo's I've used. And the other thing is again I
do have to teeth sensitivity. So the fact that I could use that 10% gel makes all the difference. I don't have any sensitivity what so ever. So number one, white teeth. (casual music) Number two is glowing skin. This is now a constant struggle for me living in a very dry climate
at a very high altitude. But what I do is I will
use oil, a lot of oil. I use serum oil and
sometimes even over that I'll use a balm. So I'm always in search of
that real intense moisture. If you're in a more humid
climate like Florida or Texas. Then you don't have to
worry about it as much. But if you're like me and
you're in a drier climate. You're gonna have to work a
little bit harder for the glow. And if your skin is
already on the dry side you may also have to work a
little bit harder for the glow. I'm a long time fan of Colleen
Rothschild's skin care. And she has a number nine
oil with retinol built in. And that is really hydrating the oil, it's offsetting the retinol. But the oils will really
give you that glow that makes you look more youthful. (casual music) The next key to looking younger. The next beauty tip to
help you look younger is to use something to
make your hair shiny. Cause shiny hair really
does make a big difference when it comes to making
you look more youthful. If your hair is really dry and brittle that's going to age you. So the hair mask that I absolutely love. Same brand also makes a
hair serum for fly aways. It's called Obliphica. It's a very odd word. I had to look up how to
pronounce it, Obliphica. If your hair doesn't
look shiny after a week of using Obliphica hair mask. Then I would highly recommend that you go and see your doctor
and see if your thyroid is working properly. And everything is working
alright on the inside because this stuff is
amazing for your hair. And it really should repair your hair. It really should make
it shiny and healthy. And again that is gonna to make you look so much more youthful. (casual music) The next beauty tip to look
younger is to have thicker hair. So in addition to shinier you
need to have thicker hair. When your hair is
thinning as you get older that could be very aging. So there's a couple different
ways that you can go about it. You can try hair
extensions or hair pieces. Some people have so much thin hair they're not able to do that. But if you are able to do
that maybe you want to try a halo which I've talked about before. You want to try those
clip in hair extensions. I love to use a thickening spray. I love Bumble and Bumble
thickening treatment it's called. That really does work. Another option to make
your hair look thicker and I've done this fairly recently. And you guys have commented
over and over and over again about how thick my hair looks. Just keep it all one length or if you do a little bit layering
just do it at the bottom. Because if it's all one
length it looks thicker. And then if you cut it
so it's super healthy it's gonna look a little
bouncier and thicker too. Those are a few ways to get
that thicker look to your hair. You can try the hair extensions,
you can try the halo, you can try cutting it. You know strategically cutting it so that it's all one length. Or cutting it shorter so that it looks a little bit thicker and bouncier. But thick hair will definitely
make you look more youthful. (casual music) The next tip is to wear a ponytail. Wear your hair in a ponytail. It's just so youthful and fun and vibrant. If you don't mind your hair pulled back and you feel like you don't
have wonky ears or anything. Pull your hair back in a
ponytail and that is such a great youthful look. (casual music) The next tip is to have thick eyebrows. So if you are one of those
people that plucks plucks plucks or waxes waxes waxes or
whatever you're doing. Like tone it down. Let then grow in thicker. I wish that mine were
even thicker but I think this is about as good
as they're gonna get. Because I've been basically
plucking my whole life. For those of you that are
younger, you don't have to worry so much because you're growing
up with the thick brows. So they're probably already pretty thick. For those of us that are
my age range, 40 50 60's. You may be plucking
and waxing for so long. It may be tough for you to grow back. So what you then can do
is you can either dye them if you have light brows like I do. So in my eyebrows I have
a lot of blonde hair and so when I dye them
they look thicker more lush and they frame the face better. And another thing I do and I love to do and I think it's one
of the best brow tools that we have in our disposal
is the Gimme Brow by Benefit. And that again will just make them a little bit more prominent. A little bit thicker, a
little bit richer in color. And it will definitely
create a more youthful look for your face. And you can see here on one side I've got the Gimme Brow brow done. And on the other I don't. The one where the brow is done the whole face looks more lifted. Looks more youthful. Looks more defined. It definitely has a huge impact. Also when I was researching this video I did read that castor
oil is supposed to help promote growth for you eyebrows. I admittedly have not tried that but it doesn't hurt to try it. Castor oil is a wonderful oil anyway so even if you buy some and you find it's not helping your brows grow. You can use it to cleanse your face. There are a bunch of different ways that you could use up that castor oil. (casual music) Tip number seven is to have
a light dewy foundation. That means avoid powder. That means you're gonna go
light on the foundation. Maybe it's not a super heavy, super thick, super matte foundation. Maybe there's some glow in it. Some shimmer in it. What I like to do is I will
mix a little bit of a primer together with a CC cream and I like the It Cosmetics CC cream. That creates some coverage
and evens out the skin tone but still letting my
real skin shine through. So it's not this mask. It's really just letting you shine through and that is one of the keys
when you are getting older. You don't want to wear
caky too strong foundation. You want it to be very
minimal and very natural but you still want to
cover up all that red and all those veins and
all that sun damage. Okay so what I do to
even out the skin tone because I am quite red
is sometimes use the Dr. Jart's Tiger Grass
I believe it's called. And I'll put just tiny little
dots of that on my cheek because that's where I get really red. And maybe a little bit
around my chin, not much. Then I mix a little bit of
primer with It Cosmetics CC cream and I will blend that in a
little bit all around my face. So my face and skin tone looked even but you can still see skin through there. It's not a total mask you know. And when you do wear a total
mask and you load it up with foundation and powder. It's really going to accentuate any lines. Any fine lines, any
wrinkles, any creases at all. So that's why I'm saying
you should really go natural on the foundation. Maybe even skipping
foundation and just going for a BB or CC cream. And the other thing you can try. You can just even do some
concealer to even out red tones and then a little bit
of CC cream over that. So I traditionally will do the Tiger Grass to even out the red tone. Then a little bit of the primer
mixed in with the CC cream and then I go back in and
put a little bit of concealer under my eyes, around
my nose, around my chin and then that's it. So it seems like I'm putting
a lot of stuff on my face but I'm really not. And I'm really letting
the skin shine through. That is gonna help a lot when it comes to making you look more youthful. (casual music) Another step in your beauty
routine that's really important in terms of anti aging. In terms of making you look more youthful is an eyelid primer. I have a few but the one
that I keep coming back to is this one by Two Faced. And I just like that
it's very moisturizing but it also has a little
bit of a tint in it. So I feel like it does cover up those tiny red veins on the eyelid. And creates a really
nice base for the shadow. So once I've done the
foundation and the primer and the concealer. Then I'm ready to finish up my makeup and here is another part
of your beauty routine. It's really important to
remember not to be heavy handed with the rest of your makeup. So that means not a lot of eyeshadow. Not a lot of blush. Not a lot of heavy contouring. Not a lot of makeup anywhere on your face because the more makeup you
wear the more aging it can be. So go really light on the makeup. So I'll do a little bit of contouring. A little bit of highlight on the cheek. A little bit of eyeshadow. Mascara of course and then that's it. (casual music) The next tip to help
you look more youthful is to over draw your lips with lip liner. One of the things that
happens as we get a bit older is we start to get these little tiny lines especially around the upper lip. You guys know what I'm
talking about right? I mean if you're in your
40's I'm sure you've started to see these
little tiny like hash marks just above the lip. It's not pronounced, it's not
super intensive right now. But they're starting to form there. So what you can do to cover
those up, to hide them. Is you can over draw the lip. That does two things. Not only does it make
your lips look more full and that's again another
thing that can make you look more youthful, more full lips. It also can hide those little tiny lines. So I always over draw,
especially the top lip. And then I do over draw
the bottom lip a little bit and then fill it in of course. But that again makes
your lips look more full which makes you look more youthful. And then it also hides up
those little tiny lines right around your lips. (casual music) The last beauty tip to help
you look 10 years younger is probably the most important
and that's sunscreen. So I just tend to have
sunscreen all over my house. I have some sunscreen in the kitchen. I have some sunscreen in
the pantry, not kidding. I have some sunscreen in my
like ped draw in the kitchen. I have sunscreen in my bathroom. I have sunscreen in my car. I like Supergoop a lot
cause they have some really nice textures and
consistency of their sunscreen. It doesn't feel like
sunscreen cause I don't actually like the way
traditional sunscreen feels or smells and it's too thick for me. So I like to use the Supergoop
especially their serum. And I will put that on my
face after I have moisturized and before I've applied the foundation. In the case of using a CC cream. My CC cream already has SPF 30 in it so I could potentially skip that step. But I'm still gonna put
some SPF on my hands and if my chest is exposed, I'm gonna put some SPF on my chest. Sunscreen, big deal. Very big deal in terms of anti aging. In terms of making you look more youthful and keeping you looking youthful. Okay you guys, so those
