The flawless women portrayed on the world’s most popular magazine covers are the
envy of many. So often women put themselves through great pain as they aspire to
have that “look”. If we pause to think it through we may finding ourselves wondering
if it is worth all the pain. True beauty is not limited to what

is seen. It is the atmosphere that emanates from a pure and peaceful heart that
truly beautifies.

There is so much that we can do to change our appearance by working on generating
happiness and beauty from within. It is no wonder then that people that are cheerful
and playful often

look younger than their biological age? So here is your recipe for genuine age-defying
beauty that no facial product can provide.

1. Create occasions to smile-

A smile is much more than an expression of pleasure, it relaxes the muscles in the
face. The more opportunities you utilize

to relax your facial muscles the more toned they become. Smiling may help to keep
wrinkles away.

2. Make time to relax-

No matter how demanding your schedule, ensure that you take some quiet time to relax.
This relaxation is not necessarily going to end in sleep, it is your

way of treating yourself to a few minutes break from the chaos around. This will
give you time to reminisce and reorganize your thoughts. Doing this daily will retrain
your brain and give it some quiet time to look forward to. Your brain will soon
learn to anticipate this time that it gets to offload.

3. Ensure that you make your living environment clean and organized-

Did you know that much of how we feel and the facial expressions that we have are
a direct reflection of our environment. When your surroundings are clean and organized
your thoughts are clearer and you are able to solve problems faster. This

allows the creative energy to flow more freely producing more positive results.

4. Develop an exercise routine-

Exercise is one of the chief ingredients in looking younger. It allows the blood
to circulate freely around the body and helps make the skin glow. Exercise also

stimulates the release of chemicals in the brain called Endorphins which gives us
that ‘feel good’ sensation. The more you exercise, the more endorphins will be released
and the happier and more beautiful you will feel. When you glow, your beauty will
show.

5. Adopt Healthier eating habits-

Research has shown that foods that are brightly colored such as fruits and vegetables
are often good for elevating the mood. If your doctor says its safe, have a variety
of brightly colored fruits and be happy doing it.

6. Make Water your friend-

Be generous with your use of water. Keep the 6-8 doctor recommended glasses per
day as a guide. It is safe to have as much as you are comfortable as long as you
do not have a Medical condition that restricts your fluid intake. Water is an expert
at flushing out the body’s contaminants that would otherwise have

made you ill. With these toxins out of the system, the body will get a chance to
build new healthy cells and give you a general sense of wellness.

7. Have a Positive attitude-

Optimism can help you to look far younger than you really are. You will spend less
time worrying about

what everyone thinks and focus on what is really important, YOU! A positive attitude
cannot be ignored. People will be drawn to you and want to be in your company. This
is your ultimate chance to share the beautiful person that you are with others.
Keep looking beautiful, (without spending a dollar).
