5 Tips to Look Younger for Boudoir Photographs

 

Are You Ready to schedule your Boudoir Session?

Here are 5 Keys To Looking Beautiful and Natural: a blog about how to look beautiful for your sexy boudoir photos and what you should avoid.

1. Moisturize your skin

Moisturizing daily keeps the skin supple, and plump. Plump skin diminishes wrinkles and signs of aging.  

Pay close attention to the eye area. Pat the moisturizer into the skin around the eyes. Don't tug or pull.

Consider getting a facial 5-7 days before your boudoir session.

Avoid chemical peels and Botox the week of your appointment. If you decide on doing these skin treatments, do them 10-14 days before your boudoir session. This allows for healing.

2. Get 7-8 hours (or more) sleep

Our bodies require sleep to heal and slow down the aging process. During sleep, your skin's blood flow increases, and the organ rebuilds its collagen and repairs damage from UV exposure, reducing wrinkles and age spots.

 

3. Stay out of the sun/tanning bed

Exposure to the sun plays a huge role in how our skin ages. Damage from the sun’s UV rays is responsible for the majority of our skin’s visible signs of aging. UV rays break down the elastin in your skin, causing a saggy and dull appearance, wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, and so much more. If tanning is a must - avoid tanning the week before your session. 

4. Drink water – lots of water!

Another key to younger looking skin is hydration. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water each day to keep your skin looking radiant. Dehydration can quickly cause your skin to look dry and dull, emphasizing wrinkles and aging. Drinking enough water daily replenishes your skin’s tissue and cells, allowing for younger and healthier looking skin. 

5. Limit alcohol and caffeine 

Too much alcohol and/or caffeine can wreak havoc on your skin. Both can dehydrate your body and rob it of key nutrients. What’s even worse is that some of these effects can be permanent. Excessive alcohol will also cause ruptured surface vessels on the face, especially across the nose. Both alcohol and caffeine in excess can cause bloodshot eyes – not attractive in photos.

BONUS TIP: 

Own your age, smile and be happy and positive. This will make all the difference. Happy people look younger! Smiling people look younger.
