Signs of Aging? Pay Attention to Your Eyes, Teeth, Hands, and Hair!
As 2011 kicks off, women want to rejuvenate their looks for a fresh, new start. The first step is to kick signs of aging —many that can be surprisingly unexpected. Women’s Health magazine highlights four under-the-radar areas women should treat early to radiate youth.
Yellow Teeth and Receding Gums: Bacteria and dark drinks cause enamel stains, while plaque results in receding gums. Bring back a younger smile with a timeless trick: floss daily, no excuses! Also, keep your pearly whites glowing by keeping disposable toothbrushes on hand and using whitening strips every six months.
Thin Hair: Hormonal changes, diet, and inadequate levels of iron in the bloodstream thin out hair with age. Save your locks’ thickness and shine by taking multivitamins rich in amino acids and B vitamins. Last resort options like a Rogaine prescription or precision laser hair therapy also boost hair growth.
Sparse, Brittle Eyelashes: Eyelashes grow sparse with age, whether through excessive rubbing or naturally slower growth. Invest in eyelash enhancing serums offered at drugstores to improve resiliency. Old mascara also lends to weak, brittle ends— replace mascara every 90 days and remove eye makeup at night.
Dry, Rough Nails and Damaged Cuticles: Age, frequent hand washing, and overexposure to cold temperatures rob skin and nails of moisture—especially as women age. Hydrate hands with petroleum-based creams and massage cuticle oils into the nail beds to prevent breakage.

Yes at 52 I worry about all these things..I hate the thought of aging.
Yes!! All areas that we forget until all of a sudden we notice visual changes!! Way better to be proactive about it!!
This sounds good nice idea
I would argue against petroleum-based creams. Ones with shea butter do as well without petrochemicals.
Thank you for the article. I’m over 45, so this was great to read.
I will definitely keep this in mind for now on. I turn 45 in July.
I had receeding gums in my early 20’s…
These are good tips. I think there are some people who go through the effort and expense of botox and cosmetic surgery but forget the telling signs like these.
The whitening strips are a good tip. I have used the Crest whitening strips and they made a difference.
