Barbie was always known for her shapely body – small waist, tight and high derriere, and full bust line. Well, that scenario worked well for Barbie but for us real girls? Well, not so much. Take a look at what we found. A real woman who wants a “Barbie” body is facing a lot of…
Read MoreYoung people who use sunbeds ‘are twice as likely to develop deadliest skin cancer’
By now most everyone knows that overexposure to the sun creates a risk for not only dry, leathery skin but the possibility of creating skin cancer. Sun exposure or tanning rays from tanning beds may accelerate skin cancer, too, so you may want to rethink lying in a UV bed that bakes you on all sides. We need Vitamin D say the experts but only 20 minutes of sun exposure each day is the recommended dose and you can get that by taking a walk or deliberately sitting outside enjoying Mother Nature.

Read MoreFrench Women Don’t Get Wrinkles
We’ve all heard that French Women Don’t Get Fat. Apparently they don’t get wrinkles either.
I first met Cynthia Rowland and Jackie Silver at the Fab Over 50 Beauty Bash. They have a radio show together called the Ageless Sisters. But I met a lot of people there, and frankly I was a little overwhelmed.
Cut to: months later, Jackie Silver joined us at Life Goes Strong! But it was when she mentioned her beauty secrets to another one of the team as a birthday present that it clicked for me. What were these exercises she was talking about?

What a racket!
Whoever thought, then developed, paralyzing injections that freeze certain muscles using a neurotoxin is certainly a gizzilonaire by now. To think that men and women could fall for such an outrageous marketing gimmick is tantamount to buying a bridge in the Arizona desert.
Read MoreWomen over 50 spending more online for beauty products to look young
What turns back the clock reliably? What slows the development and appearance of wrinkles? Why, facial exercise, of course! Just like exercise works to ensure a more youthful body appearance, facial exercise concentrates its efforts to lift, tighten and tone muscles that have been losing their vitality due to atrophy. When facial muscles droop, you see sagging eyelids, spongy cheeks and a flabby neck. When you use specialized exercises that create isometric contractions, tired, sagging features begin to perk up when these exercises are used regularly. “Smart women and men do not believe that cutting perfectly healthy muscles and skin or injecting certain areas of the face with plumping or paralyzing toxins, will help them look younger,” begins Cynthia Rowland, President of Rejenuve, Inc., “most people want to avoid procedures that might endanger their lives and their appearance.” Exercise is natural, it’s easy to learn and best of all, it works. Look like you only better!

Makeup is supposed to be the finishing touch that gives us confidence, but here’s what many women don’t realize: the way you apply your makeup could be adding years to your appearance. Take foundation, for example. What’s the best foundation over 50?
Foundation is a makeup must-have for most women. Wearing foundation is a great way to smooth out your skin tone and give you a flawless, airbrushed look…if you don’t overdo it. Women in their 20s can get away with just about any product, but as we age, our skin demands more age specific cosmetics.

How often have you visited your favorite cosmetic counter at a large department store and spent money hoping to disguise a sagging face? Those sculpting powders and primers, while promising miraculous results, sadly aren’t powerful enough to stop the droopy jowls that make your face look old and tired.
