Looking Good at 30!
To maintain your looks throughout the years, you need to think of yourself in two halves.
Firstly you need to consider the psychological - how do you feel about yourself now that you are turning thirty? Have you achieved the goals you set yourself? What are your future aspirations? What have you learned from the past thirty years? (anxiety article) As you begin to address these ideas you may notice changes in yourself and these ultimately affect your appearance. This second half you may find easier to control than the first but as you change from young man to middle age, you may find the grooming you used to use will need to be adapted to keep you looking at your best.
Clothing is very important (clothing article).
Save the baggy jeans and slightly faded t-shirts for home and invest
in some good shirts and tailored trousers. Remember that fit is everything
and you get what you pay for. If you are single then the target group
of women you will now be moving into (what
women want article) will expect a more demur appearance which spells
out ‘I am a grown man and I know where I am heading in life’.
Confidence and assertiveness are paramount (confidence
article).
You may also be noticing marked changes in your skin and hair. Skin
may begin to show first signs of wrinkles and may begin to look more
sallow and in need of a radiance boost. You may find you will loose
more moisture after shaving so it would be good to invest in some products
that are designed specifically for a slightly older skin that is beginning
to show signs of dehydration (Dermalogica
- mens skin kit, Phytomer
- base cream).
It is at this stage that a good skincare routine can really work wonders.
Eye creams (Skin Doctors
- instant Eyelift serum) and day and night moisturisers (Murad
- Moisturiser) can really delay premature signs of aging and improve
the current condition of your skin.
Every man will experience changes in his hair at some stage in his life
and whether it is changes in colour such as your first signs of grey
or thinning, receeding and loss of hair, there are many excellent products
designed to help you restore vitality and youthfulness from root to
tip. (Phyto - shampoo
for thinning hair).
Depending on your past and current exercise levels you will notice that your body shape will begin to change. Both men and women experience these changes around the age of thirty and for men the most common is that they begin to store fat around their middles. It is at this time you pay particular attention to these problem areas to avoid what has come to be known at ‘the middle age spread’. Increasing exercise levels (Fitness article) and taking extra supplements can help you to make a real difference. Eating a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet (Vitamins and supplements) at this stage of your life is now more important than ever to help you towards a better looking and more healthy future.
