Good heredity, good health and natural beauty are, of course, advantages for every woman. But it often happens that even with all or some of these qualities, young girls look older than their years.

Beauty salon in Moscow "Beauty Expert" identified five main reasons why this happens.

Why do people look older

Bad mood

When a woman is puzzled by problems in the family, at work, or simply overworked, strangers often think that she is older than she really is. The reason is in the look. Sad, lifeless eyes make any beauty inconspicuous and inconspicuous to others.

war paint

Too bright makeup makes any person visually older. A thick layer of foundation, rich eye shadow and bright scarlet lipstick will certainly turn a teenage girl into an adult lady, and make the image of a mature woman vulgar and even comical. A cruel joke can also play a hairstyle. We are talking, for example, about high fleece.

Too tanned skin

A few years ago, solarium services were at the peak of popularity. Some girls were so addicted to such procedures that their skin took on an unnatural color and became like a well-fried grilled chicken skin. If one can argue about aesthetic preferences, then the impact on health is unequivocal.

gray hair

Single gray hairs can appear even between the ages of 17 and 25. There can be a lot of reasons for this: constant stress, illness, diet, genetic characteristics, etc. etc. The experts of our beauty salon in Moscow believe that in most cases, early gray hair occurs due to certain malfunctions in the functioning of the body. They can be caused, for example, by calcium deficiency.

Loose skin on the face and neck

Skin that has lost its elasticity and is covered with fine wrinkles is the main sign of aging. Doctors and cosmetologists around the world annually develop hundreds of different products that stop this process and even restore the skin to its former beauty and elasticity.

Many teenage girls and girls in their 20s and 25s want to look older. Such a desire is characterized by a cute appearance, behavior or even style of clothing. In most cases, such a problem is faced by office workers, whose decisions require a certain tact. They are taken lightly, because the appearance does not inspire confidence. To remedy the situation, you need to resort to some tricks, which we will talk about today. So let's get started.

Step #1. Avoid fancy clothes

It's no secret that clothes characterize a person, so it makes sense to start reincarnation with a wardrobe.

  1. Ditch the teenage clothes, go shopping for more "mature" things. In the usual boutiques for children, you will get a low-quality blouse, top or trousers, while in the adult department you will find linen or silk shirts, natural jeans, and beautiful underwear.
  2. Get rid of the girlish ways, stop wearing funny bags, clothes with cartoon characters or overly colorful pants. Avoid clothes that look cute. This wardrobe includes pleated blouses, stockings, miniskirts, jeans with Mickey Mouse, etc.
  3. Particular attention should be paid to sporty style, abandon it completely. Eliminate baggy pants and T-shirts, prefer leggings and a T-shirt that supports the chest. Do not wear sneakers all the time, choose older moccasins.
  4. Do not wear a T-shirt or sweater with logos all over, give preference to plain polo shirts, sweaters in restrained shades, blouses with a brooch or rhinestones.
  5. If until now you've been wearing loose-fitting clothes that completely hid your figure, it's time to change your habits. Get tight-fitting black trousers, they will visually make your legs longer. Choose a top (blouses, jackets, sweaters, etc.) that will suit your body type.

Step #2. Pay attention to shoes

You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes, consider this fact.

  1. Buy shoes, sandals, boots only in quality stores. Give preference to products made of genuine leather, firstly, they are durable, and secondly, they look chic.
  2. Give up sneakers made of fabric, bright sneakers, cheap slates. When meeting and meeting, the opponent will first of all pay attention to the shoes, if it is “flashy”, this is wrong. For this reason, color plays an important role, it can be black, beige, brown or red.
  3. If you have never worn high heels until now, you should change your habits. Visit an Italian shoe boutique, choose the most chic pair with a thick heel about 8-10 cm high. Practice walking at home, then go out into the world. In the summer, wear beautiful sandals or ballet flats.

Step #3. Change your hairstyle

Intricate haircuts or hairstyles like cute pigtails gathered at the back of the head, ponytails and even dreadlocks give a childish look. There is no single version of an adult haircut, it all depends on the characteristics of the face (setting the eyes, facial contours, jaw line and cheekbones).

  1. To look older, dye your hair brown, chocolate, or another dark shade. Do not carry out the procedure using bright colors, they look ridiculous.
  2. Maintain a conservative hairstyle, no need to shave the temple or braid the entire surface of the head. Visit a hairdresser with the words “Please choose a hairstyle that takes into account the structure of my face. I want to look older." The master will take into account the wishes and give practical recommendations.
  3. If you have medium length hair, keep it in a bun or a low ponytail. You can also create an elegant short haircut that adds 2-3 years in age.
  4. Break the habit of wearing cute headbands, putting decorative flowers in your hair, or pinning your hair with cartoon clips.

Step number 4. Put on your makeup

Very often you can meet young girls who look much older than their years due to the right makeup.

  1. Find video makeup courses on the Internet, pay attention to the lessons on applying cosmetics specifically to your face type.
  2. Use smokey-eye makeup, highlight your eyes with dark eyeliner, draw arrows. Discard bright and pearlescent shadows that look vulgar.
  3. Use concealer to mask acne and possible breakouts. Apply foundation to your face, then powder and cover your cheekbones with blush.
  4. Don't paint your nails with girly colors (shades of pink), make it a habit to visit the nail technician every month. Tidy up your eyebrows: remove excess hairs, choose the optimal bend, taking into account the features of the face and the fit of the eyes.
  5. Paint your lips with lipstick, not gloss, highlight the contour with a pencil and blend it. When applying makeup, focus on only one detail: eyes or lips. If you chose the first option, paint your lips with hygienic colorless lipstick in addition. In the case of the second option, line your eyes with a pencil and apply mascara to your eyelashes, nothing more.

Step number 5. Develop confidence and tact

Maturity is characterized by a person's confidence. Even if you are dressed as expected, a hunched gait or slurred speech will speak for itself.

  1. It is important to understand that there is a certain difference between condescending behavior and confident behavior. Do not try to put yourself above others, stop showing off purchases or achievements, behave maturely and with restraint.
  2. Do not raise your tone to the interlocutor, speak clearly, loudly enough, but not squeaky. Do not forget to use words of gratitude, when asking for help, say “please”, when you get what you want - “thank you”.
  3. Learn to listen and hear your opponent, do not interrupt. Ask appropriate questions, do not try to turn the conversation on yourself. Have non-committal conversations about the weather, animals, relatives. Do not gossip, remain neutral in controversial situations.

Step number 6. Learn to stand up for yourself

  1. In cases where the opponent shows disrespect to you, politely ask to stop. Try to force others to respect you, be open to dialogue (even conflict), do not hide behind your back and do not agree. Do not insult the interlocutor, do not hide behind irony or sarcasm, this is a sign of weakness.
  2. For example, during the conversation you were interrupted, politely make it clear that you have not finished the speech, and then continue. Be able to correctly argue your own decisions, accept criticism only from close people.
  3. Try not to notice the mistakes of others, learn from your own mistakes. If the person hurt you, let him know about it. Do not swear, do not return evil for evil.

It's easy to look mature with a few tricks. Choose clothes that emphasize the dignity of the figure, pay attention to shoes, they must be of high quality. Do a beautiful make-up using foundation, blush and powder. Develop vocabulary, be confident, keep conversations simple.

Video: how to look older than your age

This question is asked by both boys and girls. FoxTime has compiled a selection of reasons why you can evaluate yourself and, who knows, perhaps the findings will push you to take decisive action in favor of your health and appearance.

THE DIET CONTAINS EXCESS SALT AND SUGAR

Nutrition is the basic process of life. To prolong youth and energize your body, you need to monitor the intake of important building components, vitamins and trace elements. Processed foods, fast food, processed foods, and everyone's favorite snacks and snacks contain large amounts of salt and sugar to enhance the taste. If you constantly "sit" on such food, there is an unconscious consumption of salt in a volume greater than that required by the body.

When a large amount of salt is consumed in the body, the water balance is disturbed, there is an additional load on the heart, liver and kidneys, which inevitably leads to weight gain, slow metabolism and edema.

Sugar is considered a fast carbohydrate, that is, it is the easiest and fastest way to replenish strength. But, alas, you have to pay for this with the condition of your teeth, constant hunger and fatigue.

DO NOT PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN

Many not only do not protect their skin from the sun, but systematically use self-tanning or go to the solarium. With such merciless exploitation, the skin acquires an earthy hue, the deep layers of the dermis dry out, and the aging of the skin is faster. The skin of the face and body becomes like a constricted drum, which undoubtedly visually adds a dozen years.

LEAD A SEDENTIAL LIFE

Again and again we do not get tired of repeating that movement is life. Light walking, Nordic walking, swimming, dancing or fitness are of great benefit to the muscles and joints. The body begins to look fit, the metabolic process accelerates, the heart becomes more resilient and mood improves.

TROUBLES WITH SLEEP, REST AND CONTINUOUS STRESS

Constant lack of sleep leads to memory impairment, aggression and, among other things, it affects the face: circles under the eyes, haggard and tired look. Problems with rest lead to emotional burnout and depression. Stress keeps cortisol levels high, which is not conducive to recovery. All these factors also lead to problems with nutrition and digestion, the condition of the skin, hair and nails.

HAVE BAD HABITS

Smoking and alcohol are known to lead to health problems - this is not even worth mentioning once again. Due to smoking and drinking alcohol, the body undergoes a process of dehydration, tissues lose their elasticity, and it takes longer for them to regenerate. Bad habits lead to swelling, puffiness, and the skin is covered with 50 shades of scarlet - all this does not add freshness and beauty to you.

DIET LACKS WATER, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

If you do not consume enough clean water, it is more difficult for the body to perform its basic functions. Fruits and vegetables also help you get enough fiber. A balanced diet reduces the risk of diseases, which will help you feel better and be more active.

NO SEX

Regular sex has a relaxing and calming effect. Under the influence of the hormones oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine, the level of depression and insomnia decreases. The circulation of blood in the body saturates the tissues with oxygen and hormones, which leads to an improvement in the elasticity of the skin, prolonging its youth.

Rare genetic diseases that make you look older than your years are rare, but they do occur. There is no special treatment for them and it is very scary.

1. The woman who learned to love her wrinkles.

Model Sara Gürts, 26, was only 10 years old when she was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It is a connective tissue disorder that affects the body's ability to produce collagen. She has a rare form of this disease called dermatosparaxis, which causes the skin to wrinkle prematurely.
Guerts claims that it was only at the age of 20 that she fell in love with her wrinkled body. Now she hopes that through modeling she will be able to become the face of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and show other people like her that they are beautiful just the way they are.

2. Mysteriously aged young Vietnamese.

These photos may look like a photo of an attractive young woman and a photo of her grandmother. But these are pictures of the same face taken a few days apart. A young Vietnamese woman, Nguyen Thi, has aged many times over. It all started with the usual itching caused by an allergy to seafood. After taking the medicine, the itching stopped, and the skin all over the body began to sag at an astonishing rate.

3. The first black girl with progeria.

Ontalametse Falatse died in 2017, shortly after celebrating her 18th birthday. In 2009, doctors diagnosed progeria, a rare genetic disease that accelerates the body's aging process. She was predicted that she would not live longer than 13 years. However, Ontalametse, contrary to expectations, celebrated her 18th birthday with South African President Jacob Zuma in Pretoria before passing away two months later.

4. Brothers with a rare genetic condition, aging too quickly.

Brothers Ramesh and Lakshman Jadhav, aged 8 and 13, suffer from a genetic disease that ages them too quickly. As a result of the disease, they have no teeth and live exclusively on a liquid diet. They also have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and arthritis. Mother Savita Jadhav, 30, from Pune in central India, is worried that her sons will die young because doctors cannot give the boys an accurate diagnosis. The brothers are afraid to go outside and hide under their mother's clothes to avoid ridicule from other children.

5. A young woman diagnosed with Cutis laxa.

At 12, Zara Hartshorne was mistaken for a woman in her 40s. She has the rare disease Cutis laxa, which, in addition to the obvious symptoms of rapid aging, causes serious health problems affecting the lungs, heart, and arteries. She inherited this genetic disease from her mother, a 43-year-old woman who looks like a pensioner. At the age of 16, Zara had to undergo a facelift.

6. Chinese babe who looks old and wrinkled.

This baby is only one year old, but he already looks 80. The girl's skin was already saggy when she was born. In addition to the rare diagnosis of Cutis laxa, Yuksin has congenital heart disease, pneumonia and asthma. She is now in a clinic in Zhengzhou city, Henan province in central China.

Bayezid Hossain, from Magura, southern Bangladesh, suffers from a swollen face, hollow eyes, sagging skin, sore joints, difficulty passing urine, and already has weak and broken teeth. This child is only 4 years old. Doctors believe that Bayezid suffers from progeria. Children are afraid to play with Bayezid, despite the fact that he has an above-average intelligence.

8. Real Benjamin Button from Bangladesh.

A child with an extremely rare genetic disease called progeria was born at the Medical College Hospital in Dhaka. On his first day of life, he looks like an old man. He was already nicknamed Benjamin Button, the man from the film of the same name, whose age was reversed.
