How to Look Decades Younger: Women Share Anti-Aging Tips
What won«t people do in pursuit of youth and a long life. Some spend all their time in surgeons» offices, others stuff themselves with miracle pills after watching «Substance» (18+). But to look decades younger than your age, radical measures aren«t necessary, and the heroines of the new show »Let Them Talk« (16+) are trying to prove this with their own examples.
«I Don»t Need Beauty Injections«
Margarita Masharova is 61 years old. She proudly says that she raised two children and now has six grandchildren growing up. Despite being a grandmother, she doesn«t feel like a retiree and leads a busy life.
— I want to live to be 100 years old. To do that, I exercise and maintain my diet. Every morning I do 15–20 minutes of exercises. I haven«t consumed alcohol for 10 years, — Margarita said about her daily life.
To maintain her beauty, Margarita also regularly takes vitamins and does home care, but that«s all. She gave up beauty injections 8 years ago and has never regretted it.
— I got my first injection at 48. For five years I did Botox and revitalization. When I started exercising, I realized that I don«t need these beauty injections. They dissolve very quickly, — explained Masharova.
Margarita also admitted that 10 years ago she went under the surgeon«s knife to have eyelid surgery and remove excess sagging skin. In recent years, Margarita has only maintained her beauty on her own and talks about it in her own blog.
«The Older I Get, the Younger the Crowd That Approaches Me»
Besides Margarita, a similar blog about how to look 30 at 60 is run by Muscovite Tatyana Taranskaya. The woman is 67 years old, and she boasts that she«s used to the attention of 20-year-old men who mistake her for a peer.
— When 40-year-olds approach — I«m used to it. But the older I get, the younger the crowd that approaches me, — Tatyana shares with a smile.
According to Taranskaya, she completely rejects plastic surgery and is cautious about cosmetology after her face was disfigured.
— When fillers first appeared, they started injecting them into my nasolabial folds. This led to a hernia forming after a couple of years. I searched for a long time for a doctor who could deal with them, — Tatyana admitted in the show«s studio.
In Taranskaya«s opinion, one of the pillars of youth and beauty is sports. However, Tatyana is categorically against facial gymnastics, which is supposed to train muscles and keep them toned. In her opinion, it only stretches the skin, which further reveals age.
In recent years, the blogger has adhered to her own gymnastics, which she developed based on experience.
«I Go to Discos with My Grandchildren»
Emma Milyaeva«s videos have millions of views. The main thing that wins people over is her cheerfulness and spontaneity. The blogger is almost 70 years old, but she doesn»t feel this age.
— I feel like the youngest one in this studio, — Emma flew into the program, elated.
Milyaeva was born in the North, but always dreamed of meeting old age by the sea, hugging her beloved husband. That«s what happened; she met her chosen one, who is 10 years younger than her, and moved to live in Anapa.
— You just have to dream, — insists Emma.
Milyaeva has three children and three grandchildren. She isn«t used to limiting herself and honestly admits that if she wants to walk along the seashore with a friend and eat salty fish, she does it and doesn»t regret anything. A strict daily routine and early bedtime are not for her.
— I go to discos with my grandchildren and I love it very much. They invite me themselves, can you imagine? Since I live in Anapa, I can get lost among the vacationers and even go without grandchildren, — said Emma.
No matter how late Milyaeva goes to bed, she gets up early and does a series of rituals that help her not age.
— For the last three years, my husband brings me warm water with lemon at half past six. Then comes Tibetan exercises and prayer. I pray: «Lord, let me live to be 90 on my own feet and with my memory intact», — Milyaeva laid all her cards on the table.
«I Realized That I Need to Live»
Elena Ivanova«s motivation to live as long as possible appeared after 40, when she gave birth to a child with developmental differences.
— I was always a bit plump, didn«t befriend sports. At 42, I gave birth to a child with Down syndrome and gained a lot of weight. I realized that I need to live and be athletic. I am needed by the child, — shared Elena.
From that moment on, the gym became her second home. Now Elena is 63 years old, she exercises four times a week. Her training isn«t limited to usual warm-ups or exercises. Elena lifts weights for 2 hours a day and stays in great shape because of it.
Ivanova doesn«t adhere to strict diets and doesn»t limit herself in food. She monitors the caloric content of her diet and maintains a balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
