Many people associate age with wrinkles.... but it's a lack of
collagen and elasticity that causes a droopy jaw line or folds around
the mouth that can make you look older even without any wrinkles.
Older skin becomes more like dough: It doesn’t bounce back into place as
readily, and gravity takes its toll, causing drooping jowls, saggy
cheeks and a hollow look under the eyes.
But don’t fear surgery isn't
your only option. So before you start thinking
scalpel, explore these short- and long-term solutions.
When collagen breaks down, it naturally forms amino acid linked
peptides, which let the body know it should produce more collagen. This hot Anti-Aging external application of peptides tricks the body into making more.

Curling lashes and/or using a luxe mascara open up the eyes for a more
youthful appearance. Replace eyelash curler sponges every six months, so
you don’t damage or pull out existing lashes.

Caffeine is known to constrict the blood vessels, which reduces puffiness. It’s often applied with roller ball applicators that can
help promote the movement of excess fluid through a massaging
mechanism. For rollerless creams, apply with your ring finger
in gentle circular motions.

Bond with Blush
Many women apply blush too high on their cheeks. You don’t want color on the boniest part of your cheeks. Instead, blush should be applied on the apples of your cheeks, leaving one fingertip-width between the color and your nose. Note: a cream blush will impart a more dewy, youthful glow to the face.

Cosmetic primer helps minimize pores, which get larger with age, and
keeps foundation in place. Look for a hydrating one that prevents makeup
from drying out and settling in fine lines. Light reflective pigments diffuse the look of lines and wrinkles and
make skin instantly luminous, brighter, healthier and glowing.

Slather on Sunscreen
The sun’s UVA rays destroy collagen, so your daily sunscreen should offer broad-spectrum protection. if you have any redness in your skin, look for a sunscreen with the mineral zinc oxide, which deflects heat as well as rays and is like having millions of crushed mirrors on your face that reflect the light.
