More and more men are becoming more conscious of their looks, and many will probably be making an effort to fight off the signs of ageing. Here, Models Direct offers some tips to help you look and feel like a new, and younger, man.

Diet and lifestyle. It’s a pretty obvious one but eating healthily and taking regular exercise will help to keep you look younger, as well as fitter. Avoid smoking as it ages the skin, causing wrinkles and discolouration. Be sensible with what you drink as excessive alcohol consumption can accelerate and exaggerate the aging process.

Daily routine. Clear glowing skin will keep you looking younger. Rather than washing your face with ordinary soap, find a face wash that won’t dry out your skin. After washing and shaving, add moisturising into your daily routine. It may seem a bit girly but there are plenty of men’s products about and you don’t have to tell anyone you don’t want to! Find one with SPF and use it throughout the year, not just in summer, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Remember you should drink lots of water each day: not only does it help to flush out toxins but it will also keep your skin hydrated and looking good.

Teeth. Our teeth lose their pearly white colour as we age, so whiter teeth will make you appear younger. Foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine and curries – and smoking, of course – can all stain your teeth. While brushing with whitening toothpaste can help, you may want to have a professional whitening treatment from your dentist. Just make sure they’re not so white that they look unnatural!

Lose the hair. Firstly, getting rid of your beard will help take years off you. As you get older, your hair will probably start thinning on top and sprouting up in other areas. If you are beginning to recede, embrace your new look and get a Bruce Willis-style close crop, you’ll look much better. And invest in a trimmer to keep unwanted nose and ear hairs at bay!

Clothing trends. Update your wardrobe with classic items that won’t go out of style rather than trying to keep up-to-date with all the young trends. You don’t want to seem like you’re trying too hard. Adding a splash of colour to an outfit will make you appear more youthful.

Young at heart. People say you’re only as old as you feel. Remember to keep smiling and stay sociable as you get older, as well as keeping up recreational activities that you enjoy like sports, hobbies and going out. All of this will help to alleviate stress and therefore reduce the wrinkles!
