Secrets to Looking 30 at 60 Without Beauty Injections
People go to great lengths in pursuit of youth and a long life. Some spend all their time in a surgeon«s office, others stuff themselves with miracle pills after watching »Substance« (18+). But to look several decades younger than your age, radical measures aren»t necessary, and the heroines of the new program «Let Them Talk» (16+) tried 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 full life.
«I want to live to 100 years old. For that, I exercise and maintain my diet. Every morning, I do 15–20 minutes of calisthenics. 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 it. She gave up beauty injections 8 years ago and has never regretted it.
«I got my first injection at 48 years old. 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,« Masharova explained.
Margarita also admitted that 10 years ago, she went under the surgeon«s knife to have an eyelid operation and remove excess sagging skin. In recent years, Margarita only maintains her beauty on her own and talks about it in her own blog.
«As I Get Older, Younger Men Hit on 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 brags that she«s used to attention from 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 hits on 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 putting them in 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 sport. However, Tatyana is categorically against face gymnastics, which is supposed to train muscles and keep them toned. In her view, 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 that age.
«I feel like the youngest one in this studio,» Emma said, buoyant, as she burst onto the program.
Milyaeva was born in the North, but always dreamed of meeting old age by the sea, arm in arm with 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,» Emma insists.
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 salted fish, she does it and doesn»t regret anything. A strict daily routine and early bedtime aren«t for her either.
«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 blend in with the vacationers and even go without my grandchildren,» Emma said.
No matter how late Milyaeva goes to bed, she wakes 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 90 on my own feet and with my memory intact,« Milyaeva revealed all her cards.
«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 and didn»t befriend sports. At 42, I gave birth to a child with Down syndrome and gained even more weight. I realized that I need to live and be athletic. My child needs me,« Elena shared.
From that moment, the gym became her second home. Now Elena is 63 years old, and she exercises four times a week. Her training isn«t limited to ordinary warm-ups or calisthenics. Elena lifts weights for 2 hours a day and stays in excellent shape because of it.
Ivanova doesn«t follow strict diets or restrict her eating. She monitors the calorie content of her diet and maintains a balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
