Why many of our women after the age of 50 start to look like grandmothers: 5 main reasons

2) Shapeless clothes and “safe” black everywhere

Problems: too loose cuts, outdated styles, lack of structure, unsuitable underwear.
Solutions:

  • Clothes to define the waist and shoulders : structured jacket, high-waisted straight pants, straight/A-line midi skirt.

  • Monochrome or 2–3 similar colors elongate the silhouette; add color (scarf, bag, shoes).

  • Try off-white, navy, chocolate, buttery green – they are often more flattering than pure black.

  • Invest in a good bra (correct size = instant “lift”) and smooth, unlined underwear.

  • Shoes: clean sneakers or low heels with a slightly pointed toe visually lengthen the legs.

3) Skin and makeup: lack of sun protection, hydration and light

Problems: matte, heavy foundations; skipping SPF; only scrub without active ingredients; neglected neck/hands/lips.
Solutions (minimal regimen):

  • Morning: gentle cleansing → vitamin C (10–15%) → moisturizer with hyaluronic/ceramides → SPF 30+ year-round.

  • Evening: cleansing → retinoid/retinol 2–4 times a week → nourishing cream.

  • Makeup: light illuminating foundation/BB , a little cream blush, warm eyebrow pencil, brown pencil/mascara , lipstick in lip color + a drop of gloss.
