As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found a few things that I’ve to know as my ‘saving grace.’ We all have them, items or things that we do that we couldn’t imagine having to live, and don’t want to, honestly, live without. As I got older, my hormones changed. My hair changed, the color, the texture, even the thickness. Then there was a bout with adult acne. My glasses got thicker, and I’m embarrassed to say, that my middle did, too.

But with those changes, came those things I referred to earlier, as my saving grace. Want to meet them?

Here are my miracle workers:

1. Spanx!

Wonderful shapewear to smooth and slim your shape.  I don’t leave home without them.

2. Esthetician Services

Bi-monthly Chemical peels or  microdermbrasion by licensed esthetician.

3.  Facial Yoga Exercises

Exercising your face muscles tightens and tones thus combats the signs of aging.

4. Retin A

Initially I used to treat adult acne but learned the benefits of  Retin A;  helps the skin renew itself and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. There are over-the-counter products as well as prescription products as directed by your medical professional.

5. Heart Healthy Diet

Controlling your portion size, lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, limit unhealthy fats (saturated and trans fats), and cholesterol, low-protein sources (lean meat, poultry, low-fat dairy products), reduce sodium in your diet, plan menus and allow yourself an occasional treat.
