DRESS COMFORTABLY

You’re more likely to move if you’re not con­stricted.

BUILD SOME MUSCLE

Between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five, non-exercising women lose an average ten pounds of muscle. Use free weights, vegetable cans, whatever you have around the house to build lean muscle tissue.

LOOK AT YOUR SKIN where it never gets exposed. Compare it with the areas that get constantly browned.

STAY NATURAL

Toxins in our diet accelerate the aging process.

CALM DOWN

Not only is it important to accept life’s chal­lenges, but you also need to accept aging.

Accept what you can’t change, and instead of bemoaning what has happened in the past, discover how far you’ve come. Consider the stronger sense of identity you now have. Remember how insecure you were yesterday? You won’t want to go back.

RELAX YOUR STANDARDS

You may have put on a few pounds after child­birth or menopause. If you can’t get back to your high school weight, stop the battle, within limits. Never give up completely!

ACUPRESSURE FOR SKIN

This trick from Chinese medicine will help your skin to look radiant.

For seven seconds, apply pressure to the area below your jaw on both sides.

This area corresponds with the thyroid. Pressing against it releases the hormone thyroxin, which, according to Chinese medicine, keeps skin soft and revitalizes tissues. This keeps the cheeks and neck from sagging. It also helps to keep lips firm and full.

SLEEP ON YOUR BACK

Wrinkles can be made by sleeping the wrong way. When we sleep on one side more than the other, wrinkles can appear on that side. Avoid this problem by changing your sleep habits.

Change from your regular pillowcase to a i satin pillowcase. Your face will slip around J. the pillow, lessening wrinkling. /
