Appearance seems to play a vital role in society today. The rise of cosmetic surgeries and procedures are testaments to the growing premium that people put into their outside appearance. But since not all of us can afford botox injections, liposuctions, and facelifts, it is time to be more creative in finding ways to look younger and feel good. Come to think of it, youth is just a frame of mind so you really do not have to spend so much to achieve the feeling or look that is gorgeously younger than you truly are.

Here are five tricks that you need to know if you want to stay young and beautiful:

Don't Worry, Be Happy

This line from a popular song is really very important in maintaining your youth. Look at the people who often worry and stress about almost everything. See that these individuals have tons of lines on their face coupled with pallid complexion. If you want to look young, you need to worry less and be happier.

There may be a lot of things to frown about, but be choosy with the things that you lose sleep on. If the issue is well beyond your reach, such as rising gas prices, then do not get mad or be stressed about it. Just do your share by saving gas and energy.

Drink More Water

Unless you are already drinking 15 glasses of water a day, you still need to raise the number of glasses of water you chug down daily. Instead of drinking soda and other caffeine-rich beverages, it is also wiser to just stick to pure and refreshing water. It is important to note that water is important not only in eliminating toxins out of your body, but also in retaining your skin's moisture. Remember that dryness and lack of moisture are the friends of wrinkles.

Be More Informed

A person who is well-informed by what is happening around the globe and someone who has a store of knowledge in between his or her ears are confident. And confidence is important in giving you a feeling of contentment and happiness. Moreover, reading, listening to the radio and analyzing the facts that you gathered will help give you a sharper mind. Remember that memory lapses and not being knowledgeable about new technologies may give other people an impression that you are getting older and more senile.

Have A Makeover

Wearing the same look for the rest of your life is not only boring but also puts years on your skin. Even if you think that the Cowboy-style of dressing looks good on you, now is probably the time to let it go. If you want to feel and look young, you have to update your look and make more modern adjustments.

However, do not be tempted to wear the clothes of your teenage daughter or color your hair with rainbow colors because that would not be appropriate for you (or anyone for that matter). Just go to a salon and find a stylist that will help you get an edgier look while making sure that it is still appropriate to your age and status. While you are at it, you can also ask the makeup artist to help you choose new makeup tricks and colors that will make you appear a little bit younger than you really are.

Perk Your Breasts Up

One sign of aging is sagging breasts. You really do not have to undergo breast augmentation surgery to have perkier boobs. Just wear the right bra size and choose undergarments that have uplifting effect. If you have very small or really sagging breasts, then you can also use topical ointments that can help give you a fuller chest.
