Beauty Tips to Look Instantly Younger

Our award-winning aesthetics practitioner and skincare expert, Amish Patel, shares his top tips for a more youthful appearance with these expert beauty tricks and smart skincare choices. If you’re looking to turn back the clock, here are some effective and simple beauty tips to help you achieve younger-looking skin.

How Can I Make My Face Look Younger Instantly?

There are a few cosmetic procedures which can make the face look younger instantly. Revolumising the face with dermal fillers will instantly make your face look younger. As we age, our collagen production begins to slow, and the breakdown of collagen in our body begins to take a toll on mature skin. Collagen acts as the scaffolding under our skin, and when we lose this, we start to see wrinkles and sagging skin caused by excess skin. Injectable fillers such as cheek fillers are particularly effective for restoring lost volume and dermal fillers in the marionette lines and jawline fillers can make the skin taut and skin youthful looking.

A longer-term approach is skin boosters and PRP treatments, which can improve facial skin in a matter of weeks. These treatments have a very mild level of discomfort, but with numbing cream, they can improve lip lines, laugh lines, skin texture and tone.

Anti Wrinkle injections, also known as Botox, take just two weeks to settle and can soften deep lines in the forehead and crow’s feet. Although not instant, the after-effects can really make a difference in making the skin youthful again.

Professional facials such as chemical face peels and laser skin resurfacing can also be considered, but the healing processes are longer.

How can I look 10 years younger fast?

Dermal fillers aside, there are no fast ways to look ten years younger, but there are some practical ways you can achieve smoother skin. Eating a healthy diet is crucial to more youthful-looking skin. A diet rich in superfoods such as fatty fish, which has omega-3 fatty acids, and foods rich in vitamins A, C and D will give you healthy skin. Choose ‘clean foods’ over processed foods to give your skin a boost at a cellular level and increase your energy levels. Taking regular exercise will increase blood flow, which contributes to glowing skin and will help reduce your stress levels (another key factor in premature ageing)

Drink Plenty of Water

People age at different rates, depending on lifestyle and genetics, but one of the most effective ways to maintain youthful skin is by keeping it well-hydrated. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin plump and radiant. Hydrated skin not only looks healthier but also minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Drinking water will also help improve dry skin.

How can I make my skin look younger?

Moisturise Regularly

Invest in a good moisturiser that suits your skin type. Applying a quality moisturiser daily can help lock in moisture, making your skin appear smoother and younger. Look for products to suit your skin type. If you have oily skin, look for hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. Moisturising creams containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or glycerin offer maximum hydration and are ideal for mature skin.

When applying your creams, give yourself a facial massage to get the blood flow circulating and to ensure your creams are massaged into the skin.

One of my favourite active ingredients to add to your skincare is retinol. Retinol is a key ingredient for keeping the skin youthful and incredible for reducing the appearance of fine lines and skin conditions such as acne scarring, enlarged pores and age spots.

How can I look younger drastically?

Achieving a radiant, youthful glow often starts with brightening your skin. Dull skin can make you appear tired and older, but there are several ways and beauty products to enhance your complexion and restore that youthful luminosity.

Use a Brightening Serum

Invest in a high-quality brightening serum that contains ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or alpha arbutin. These powerful antioxidants not only help to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone but also provide a vibrant glow to your skin. Apply the serum as part of your morning routine before your moisturiser and sunscreen.

Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliation is essential in the quest for brighter skin. By sloughing off dead skin cells, you can promote cell turnover and reveal fresher, more youthful skin underneath. Incorporate a gentle exfoliating scrub or a chemical exfoliant, such as glycolic acid, into your skincare while being cautious not to overdo it—1 to 2 times a week is usually sufficient.

Always Wear A High SPF

Your morning beauty routine should involve applying sunscreen to help prevent sun damage and sun spots from developing. I recommend clients wear SPF factor 50 all year around to prevent pigment in sun damaged skin from becoming more noticeable. Just one day of sun exposure can result in UV damage.

How To Make Myself Look Younger With Makeup?

Clever make-up techniques can make you look instantly younger but if makeup application is not your strong point, explore online for a celebrity makeup artist online who gives make-up tutorials. There are plenty of YouTube videos and even more on TikTok and Instagram. Follow a celebrity makeup artist who specialises in mature faces to give you makeup tricks and tips you can use. Alternatively, book a one-to-one session with a makeup artist to help you get the most out of your makeup routine and share the art in the application of makeup. From how to apply lip liner to highlighting the best makeup products for your budget.

Incorporate a Highlighter

A touch of highlighter can do wonders for making you appear younger. A simple trick is to opt for a cream or liquid highlighter and apply it to the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, the brow bone, and the cupid’s bow. This creates a youthful, dewy finish that catches the light beautifully. Choose shades that complement your skin tone—champagne or soft pink hues work well for fair complexions, while bronze or gold tones look stunning on deeper skin tones.

Choose Youthful Shades

When it comes to makeup, the colours you choose can greatly affect your overall appearance. Opt for soft, warm shades that reflect youthfulness. Consider peachy blushes and lip colours that bring life to your face. Avoid harsh, dark colours that can make your features appear more pronounced and draw attention to fine lines. Use light foundations rather than powder and liquid liners in soft brown hues.

Focus on Eyes

Your eyes are often the first place to show signs of ageing, so it’s crucial to make them pop. Use an eye cream with peptides or retinol to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. Applying a light, shimmery eyeshadow on your eyelids can also brighten your eyes. Lifting your eyeliner slightly at the outer corners can give the illusion of a more youthful, awake look.

Final Beauty Tip?

Define Your Brows

Full, well-groomed eyebrows can make a significant difference in your appearance. They frame your face and can provide a more youthful look. If your brows have thinned over the years, consider using a brow pencil or powder to fill them in gently. Choose a colour that matches your natural hair for the most natural effect. A clear brow gel can also help shape and set your brows in place for a polished finish.
