When is it OK to tear up one or more photographs belonging to someone else? When you look old or fat in it. It’s perfectly acceptable.

Keep your Distance

A close up photograph is bound to pick up every flaw, wrinkle and blemish viewable to the naked eye… Or naked camera lens. You would be absolutely amazed at what backing up just a couple of feet can do. Close-ups also tend to pick up even the most delicately applied cover-up makeup. And while we’re on the topic of makeup, be sure not to overdo it. Heavy make-up might be fine for appearing onstage but too much makeup in a photograph simply makes you look more like a clown… Or a hussy… You choose. Light, natural makeup and with a hint of lip color is the best course of action if natural, naked beauty isn’t something you were blessed with or paid a plastic surgeon for. Of course dermal fillers are always an option for a quick fix, and believe me they’re used on more people than you can possibly imagine.

Lights, Camera… Are you Going to Wear your Hair Like That?

Your hair can make a big difference as to whether or not you look your age. A cute, young cut is fine if you can pull it off… And many women can. If you can’t however, stay with something modest but not matronly. Raising your head just slightly with a little tilt can stretch chin and neck muscles just enough so as not to appear sagging, wrinkled or loose. And be sure that the lighting is complementary; not too harsh; or so that it exaggerates bags under your eyes. Pick a good side, and make the most of it. I’m not saying go with a profile, just for that slight turn/tilt to your head.

There is also any number of instant results face creams on the market as well as hyaluronic acid fillers.

Every person who lives in Jacksonville Florida should be concerned about their eye health especially in this day and age as more studies have shown that people who don’t take steps to protect their eyes and maintain good eye health face problems like macular degeneration and loss of eye sight as they grow older.

Sunglasses

One of the best ways that anyone who lives in Jacksonville can protect their eyes is by investing in a pair of sunglasses. Some of the best sunglasses to consider are Ray-Ban’s, Oakley’s and Aviators. Prices for these sunglasses typically range between $50.00 and $150.00 but the investment is well worth it when you consider the long term protection they will offer your eyes. Just remember that often times sunglasses for men are cheaper than womans.

Transition Glasses

If you wear glasses and don’t own a pair of prescription sunglasses one of the best pairs of glasses you can get is transition glasses. These glasses will save any person the time and hassle of having to put on a pair of prescription sunglasses when they go outside.

Supplements

Many people are hesitant about taking supplements in this day and age but studies have shown that taking a simple Vitamin E supplement every day can help to improving any individual’s long term vision. There are also a wide variety of other vision supplements available including Alcon Icaps and any other supplement that has Bilberry or Ginko.

Diet

The right diet can also be the difference between rapid degeneration of eye sight and maintaining great eyesight for life. Some of the best foods that any individual can eat for their eyes are fish, fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts. It’s also important to drink plenty of fresh water every day and also drink a daily cup of green tea or black tea because either of these teas is rich in anti-oxidants which everybody needs.

One of the most common misconceptions about facelifts is that they are an easy and simple procedure that any individual can undergo to achieve their goal of looking 20 years younger. The key to finding the right cosmetic surgeon for your facelift is asking your doctor the right questions so you can insure that you’re choosing the right cosmetic surgeon who will give you a facelift that you can be proud of.

1. Are you a board certified plastic surgeon? This question may seem very simple (almost too simple to ask) but it’s the most important because many plastic surgeons in this day and age, especially in Jacksonville Florida are not board certified. It’s vital to choose a board certified plastic surgeon because plastic surgeons that become board certified have undergone a rigorous certification process and only specialize in plastic surgery compared to doctors who major in other fields and do some plastic surgery on the side.

2. How long have you been in practice? Experience is something that any individual who is considering plastic surgery should seek out because even though a new plastic surgeon may charge a few hundred dollars less for the same procedure than the surgeon who has more experience, it’s always best to go with the surgeon who has done the procedure that you’re considering hundreds of times before with great results.

3. Am I too young for this procedure? Many plastic surgeons won’t hesitate to tell you if you’re too young to have a face lift performed so don’t hesitate to ask this question.

4. What type of anesthesia are you going to use? Always ask this question up front because you might have had an adverse reaction in the past to the anesthesia that your plastic surgeon is going to use and it’s best to make sure that an anesthesia will be used that your body is compatible with

5. Can you provide referrals? Make sure that your plastic surgeon doesn’t hesitate with providing you with before and after pictures plus written testimonials from happy clients because these things will help you to have confidence that you’re choosing someone who has done great work in the past and isn’t afraid to back up their claims.
