You aren’t moisturising your hair
There’s a reason your hair isn’t as lustrous as it was when you were a kid: we produce less natural hair oil as we age, leaving hair dull and dry. To restore youthful-looking moisture, hairstylist Nadine Matar recommends using a hair oil after blow-drying and styling. Similar to the way body oil revives dry skin, hair oil can help restore shine and soften brittle texture.
You’re totally colour-averse
If you’ll never be convinced to add a pop of pink to your all-black ensemble, there are other ways to create a cheerier vibe. Cassandra Sethi, a personal stylist, suggests breaking up some of the black in your outfit with shades of grey, especially near your face. Unlike black, grey doesn’t draw attention to fine lines, wrinkles, or under-eye circles, so you look more youthful – and perhaps even more approachable, too.
You wear nude hosiery
Kate Middleton might be the only woman in the world who can get away with wearing nude pantyhose without looking dowdy. To create the illusion of smooth, even-toned legs sans flesh-coloured hosiery, try tinted body lotion or self-tanner, says author Jené Luciani. When the weather gets chilly, choose from colourful, patterned, or textured tights to keep your legs fashionably warm.
