"Tired" skin
Andrey, 40: «48-52».
Victor, 26: “48. Beautiful, but aged."
In fact: Winona Ryder is 48 years old.
Winona, in her youth, after breaking up with handsome Johnny Depp, fundamentally decided to never get married, to love only herself and to live for her own pleasure. It would seem that under such conditions the actress should have plenty of energy to take care of her skin. But her favorite cigarettes played a cruel joke on her: Winona turned into a classic example of a “smoker’s face.” Thin, dull skin, swelling, rosacea on the cheeks and a “tired” look even on the carpet.
Colors
Among the colors of clothes, there are several insidious representatives that insidiously add years to you. We've identified them all!
Black
Many readers will probably defend the color black for its magical properties. It really does make you look slimmer, but only if the item has an ideal fit and a dense, high-quality texture.
But there is also a flip side to the coin - dark colors of clothing make the complexion dull and sallow, and also create an emphasis on a woman’s age-related changes. In addition, ladies who use black color in unlimited quantities risk creating a gloomy wardrobe without any zest.
So what now, say goodbye to all the black things? No stylist will require such radical measures from you. But he will tell you that you should choose a bright accent for a dark dress. It could be a brooch, a scarf or even makeup. It is important that the chosen distraction be close to the face.
Win-win combinations with black for women of elegant age are a duet with white, rich red, luxurious silver or gold.

We have nothing against classic black trousers with an impeccable fit. They should also be left alone, because they are truly a versatile and stylish item. A classic pencil skirt can also remain untouched.
But still, as you age, you should make sure that the black color does not penetrate too actively into your wardrobe. It is also better to avoid looks that are completely black. Still, for women over 40, refreshing light shades are better suited.
Maroon
This color is a direct association with increasing age. Moreover, this property will work even if a 20-year-old girl wears a dark burgundy dress. Even she will look 5 years older. But if such experiments are not critical at 20, after 30 it is better to treat maroon things with great caution.
If your love for the noble dark burgundy color is so great that saying goodbye to it is beyond your strength, there is a way out! You can place this color further away from the face and create winning combinations with light coffee, milky, emerald or mustard colors.
Dark purple
Dark purple is another clothing color that ages women over 50. It has a whole plan for this! This color creates an emphasis on unhealthy complexion and all skin defects. Rest assured, a dark purple dress will certainly highlight dark circles under the eyes and all the wrinkles.
In addition, this color is difficult to combine with other things and, in principle, suits a small category of ladies.
Dark green
The same story with dark green or marsh color. Such things not only look grim, but also mercilessly pass through all age-related changes.
Only women with transparent skin and red hair can ignore this recommendation - their dark green clothes turn them into real fairies.
Dark brown
To identify the very brown color that makes clothes look old, you should focus on its gloom and dark earthy tint. This coloring can decorate few people at an elegant age.
But in the palette of brown tones there are many really winning tones that rejuvenate the appearance and image as a whole. Such successful and safe colors include noble beige and milky shades and representatives of the “coffee with milk” range.
Grey
This color has the insidious property of emphasizing skin defects and giving a woman a tired look. When using this color it is also very easy to get carried away and turn into a “gray mouse”. Therefore, stylists, although they do not recommend completely abandoning this palette, still advise correctly combining gray things, diluting them with light or bright accents.
Hot pink
As you read this article, you might get the impression that after turning 40, you should avoid dark-colored clothing. However, among the bright palette there are also obviously unsuccessful representatives. For example, these include hot pink. In the vast majority of cases, things of this color look tasteless, vulgar and cheap.
In addition, like all bright and flashy shades, fuchsia attracts attention to itself and to a woman’s age-related changes. Most often, images with a predominance of this color look ridiculous and inappropriate.

Orange
Another outsider among the bright palette is orange. Its undesirable properties lie in the fact that such a color in the face area “yellows” its tone and emphasizes all redness. In addition, orange things do not suit all women.
If you are afraid of making a mistake, abandon the pure orange color with its inherent brightness, and give preference to softer tones, such as honey.
Neon
Trendy neon colors also earned unflattering descriptions from stylists. In the image of an adult woman, they create the impression that the lady was stuck in the fashion of the 80s: at that time everyone was crazy about neon things.
"Chopped" face
Roman, 46: “Face looks like 45, neck looks like 55. Well, she’s so chipped - it’s disgusting to look at!”
Valery, 22: “The wrinkles are visible, although they are retouched. 53 exactly."
In fact: Nicole Kidman is 52 years old.
A lot of time (and probably money) is spent on cosmetologists, but the desired effect is zero. Nicole, like many other residents of sunny countries, is aging according to the fine-wrinkle type. Instead of actively moisturizing and nourishing the skin, stimulating its natural renewal, the actress decided to take the “simplest” path, making friends with Botox and fillers. As a result, wrinkles across the entire surface of the skin have not gone away, and the face looks like a lifeless, inflated mask.
Habits
With age, hormonal changes occur in the female body, which leaves a big imprint on behavior. Representatives of the fair sex become tougher and more direct in communication, stop being embarrassed and devote less time to their appearance. Such changes may be useful to a lady in the professional sphere, but they are of no use in her personal life.
The voice and manner of speaking also change. This can be affected not only by age, but also by the presence of bad habits. As a result, the voice becomes rougher, and the manner of communication ceases to be attractive. Do not forget about the gait, which loses its lightness and grace. What to do? Learn to pay attention to your behavior and manner of speech and correct them if necessary.
Age-related changes are a difficult stage in the life of every woman. They directly affect her appearance and psychological state. Lack of care, incorrectly selected clothes and accessories, changes in behavior are the main factors that reveal a lady’s age. Take care of yourself, give up bad habits, give up your “grandmother’s wardrobe” and new acquaintances will give you several years less than they actually have.

Excess weight
Sergey, 41: “It’s hard to say, there’s so much foundation on her... Let it be 48.”
Denis, 27: “44, no less.”
In fact: Drew Barrymore is 45 years old.
Body positivity is body positivity, but "looking like one" was hardly the Hollywood actress's goal as she carefully prepared to pose for the cameras at the event. The question immediately arises: what will we see in the photo without makeup, professional lighting and filters? A bad make-up, a sequined blouse and extra pounds immediately turned the cheerful Drew into a street vendor at public celebrations.
Wrinkles on the neck
Oleg, 48: “Over 40, neck with wrinkles”
Dmitry, 29: “About 40.”
In fact: Victoria Bonya is 40 years old.
Vika actively advertises the services of numerous cosmetology brands and clinics, conducts courses on rejuvenation, actively promotes the achievements of modern cosmetology and still exploits the image of a young girl. But the flabby skin on her neck instantly reveals her real age, no matter how you look at it.
What does your age reveal?
Ilya Kislyakov, a plastic surgeon and leading expert at the Korrekt clinic in minimally invasive facial plastic surgery, told Dni.Ru what details reveal our age.
Skin condition
Even in the absence of wrinkles, it is easy to guess that a person is well over 30 years old. It's all about the condition of the skin. Dry, flabby, dehydrated skin, lacking tone and natural radiance (not to be confused with oily sheen), is one of the signs of aging. The first steps that you can take on your own: healthy sleep, giving up bad habits, good nutrition, sufficient consumption of clean still water, a minimum of stress. The skin will look better if you add professional care: cosmetologists have a whole arsenal of tools and techniques that can cope with cosmetic defects. Such procedures include meso- and plasma therapy, peelings and biorevitalization.
Sight
Sparkling eyes and an open look are an integral “attribute” of youth. Over the years, dark circles and bags under the eyes become more and more noticeable, the eyebrows and corners of the eyes gradually droop, a pronounced skin fold forms in the upper eyelids... As a rule, such changes visually add 5-10 years. The look becomes dull, and the face seems gloomy and tired. The skin around the eyes is extremely sensitive and requires delicate care.
If age-related metamorphoses have not yet taken on a large-scale nature, then home care and gentle cosmetic procedures will be enough. Otherwise, you need to contact a plastic surgeon. Blepharoplasty, temple lifting, eyebrow lifting, and complex low-traumatic Milanese lifting help restore youthful looks.
Face oval
Among Russian women, the most common type of aging is deformation. The face literally “slides” down: the cheeks sag, jowls and a pronounced double chin form. Only a plastic surgeon can overcome such changes. SMAS-lifting is recognized as the “gold standard” of face lifting, providing a lasting anti-age effect. During the operation, not only the skin is involved, but also the deep structures of the face, namely the muscular aponeurotic layer, which is located under the hypodermal layer and consists of muscles and connective tissue layers. MACS lifting is considered a less traumatic technique, as it leaves fewer visible scars and virtually eliminates the risk of damage to the branches of the facial nerve. It is effective for moderate age-related changes: small jowls and relatively small cheeks with moderate sagging.
Neck, décolleté and arms
The skin in these areas is often forgotten. But in vain: no matter how well-groomed the face may seem, loose skin of the décolleté area, horizontal “lines” on the neck and protruding veins on the hands will spoil the overall impression of one’s appearance. The process of biological aging begins at the age of 25, and after 30, collagen production slows down every year, and the skin begins to lose its former elasticity and firmness. Temperature changes, prolonged exposure to UV rays, and insufficient or improper care have a negative impact. Skin aging is prevented by peelings that cause controlled skin burns and injection techniques. Lipofilling allows you to replenish the lost volume of subcutaneous fat on the hands - transplantation of fat cells from the area of their excess deposition to areas where additional volume is needed. Rejuvenation of the neck and décolleté area is achieved surgically through platysmaplasty and lifting of the lower face area. Important: such procedures should only be carried out by an experienced, highly qualified specialist.
Completeness
One theory of aging links age-related changes to tissue volume loss. And with the aging of the face, we can often observe such a picture. However, scientific research has proven that excess weight can contribute to the development of age-related changes. The skin stretches, thins and becomes less protected from solar radiation. The situation is aggravated by metabolic disorders and loss of muscle mass.
If you have a problem with obesity, you need to regularly monitor your health, since excess body weight increases the risk of developing a number of diseases of internal organs and systems. Playing sports, an active lifestyle, eliminating junk food, and having an established routine and diet will help you regain your attractive figure. There is also a faster way to get rid of kilograms and create a beautiful silhouette: liposuction, body liposculpture (figure modeling by redistributing fat cells) and lipofilling.
Tired look
Nikolay, 40: “33-35, exactly!”
Nikita, 31: “40, no less.”
In fact: Keira Knightley is 35 years old.
A beautiful face, perfect makeup, professional photos... Nothing will help a woman look young and fresh if she has a dull look and a hunched back. Dirty hair gathered in a sloppy bun and total black complete the image of the “young widow” that Kira achieved.
Unnatural image
Alexander, 50: “35. What's wrong with her face?
Mikhail, 22: «35-37».
Reality: Kelly Osbourne is 35.
A hair-to-hair varnished hairstyle, carefully drawn makeup, a penetrating gaze and pursed lips – Kelly here resembles the leader of a party cell from the times of the USSR. Too much effort does not bring success: unnatural structures on the head do not delight others. In addition, we are subconsciously afraid to relax, wrinkle our hair or damage the makeup that took half a day to put on. Such concern is certainly reflected on the face and gives us a couple of years.
