Aging is inevitable. We will all get older, but how you age is optional. You have a choice to make. Are you going to be that dude who, when you tell your age, people think you’re younger or older? I’m 49 and I look pretty good because I don’t make mistakes, so many others do to age prematurely. That said, I want to overcome errors that make you look old.
Grooming issues.
- If you don’t take care of your skin, you will appear older.
- And with your smile, if your teeth are yellow and discolored, you’ll look older prematurely.
- Your eyes are one of the features that can make you look older. If you have wrinkled bags, dark circles, or puffy eyes. Use eye cream.
- Your hair will also make you look older. Going bald, thinning, and losing hair will age you. Unmanaged hair loss can age you dramatically and quickly. Boost from Pete & Pedro is a natural hair growth serum designed to help restore and maintain the health of your hair.
- Not having a hairstyle makes you look older. Also, if your hair doesn’t have any product in it, you will appear to be a geezer. Sea salt spray and texture powder are our game changers.
- Beards make you look older if they are thick, full, and wild. Trim them and keep them hydrated. Ensure they’re brushed and maintained, in addition to being trimmed and tapered.
Style can make you look older.
- Your shoes should not resemble those of a dad. Make sure they’re not dirty and nasty, big and bulky, or orthopedic-looking. If they’re dress shoes on the top and athletic shoes on the bottom, this is uncool. Do better.
- Dad jeans will make you look old. If they’re pulled up and big with a regular rise, you need to change and have them fit you properly.
- Clothing that is oversized and bulky will make you look fat and dumpy.
- Don’t have patterns that are bold and ugly. You will look like a math teacher.
- Don’t have eyewear that looks old and unsexy. You need interesting glasses that have shape and structure. Opt for tortoise shell or something clear that is interesting.
- Wear accessories, but not too many. If you wear too many, you appear to be trying too hard. Go subtle and straightforward with subdued accessories, such as a non-tech watch.
- Don’t wear whitey, tighties, or big boxers. These are not young and cool. Where boxer briefs instead.
- Your suit should not be too big and boxy, as this can make you look old. It should not puddle down at your ankle. Have it tailored.
- Your lifestyle choices can help you maintain a youthful appearance.
Get enough sleep.
- Workout. Lift weights to increase your testosterone levels and build muscle.
- Don’t smoke anything. It ages your skin and your teeth.
- Don’t eat saturated crap. The cleaner and healthier you eat, the younger you will look. The fewer carbs you eat and the less trash you consume, the better you will look.
- Drink at least 100 oz of water a day. You will not look as good as you can if you’re dehydrated. Alcohol ages your skin and makes you fat.
- Posture is important. Don’t be hunched over: stand with a chest up and shoulders back posture.
- Below sex drive will also make you old. If you can’t get Big Al to do what Big Al needs to do, there’s a problem, and you need to fix it. Work out and have less fat. Also, check your blood pressure.
- Your attitude is also essential. It’s the way you see the world and interact with people. Are you optimistic? Young people are viewed as more charismatic and interesting. They are open to different ideas and situations. Don’t be close-minded and ignorant. Don’t be a jerk, sexist, racist, or homophobic.
