When you think of a mom in her 40s, you would associate her with fine lines, wrinkles, graying hair, probably lagging behind the latest fashion trends and maybe even out of shape.
When I saw someone tweeted about this hot mama, I was shocked…
I’m shocked not because she’s a pretty mom. But because she’s a mother of two, who’s 43 years old and has a 20 year old daughter! No kidding, you can do a search on her, Masako Mizutani. She’s quite the talk of the town lately.
Just in case you’re wondering, no she didn’t do any plastic surgery nor swallowed the elxir of youth. Her secret? Spending five hours a day taking care of her skin. That’s the amount of time I sit in front of my desk from 2-6pm. So I guess what they say, “there are no ugly women, only lazy ones.”
Here are some tips from her blog to help women look younger:
- Exercise regularly, get enough sleep and don’t smoke
- Eat fresh, healthy food
- Have a balanced diet and 4 meals a day in small portions
- Drink lots of water and fluids as water helps wash off toxins and keeps your skin healthy
- Apply lighter make-up and shades as you grow older
- Apply vitamin E based cream or lotions on body to keep skin soft and supple
- Always apply sunscreen if you intend to stay out in the sun
- Follow the cleaning, toning and moisturizing regime every night before you got to sleep
So first up for me, catching my beauty sleep! There may be hope for me too!
I’ve linked up to
She looks 20 yrs younger than her actual age… More like a sister to her eldest daughter :p I will be contented to look just 10 yrs younger 🙂
Yes I would be too. But all I have is complexion of a young adult 😛
Oh my goodness!! I was shocked when I read that she’s 43. You are so right, if you want to look good, you can’t be lazy. I know I won’t be looking like this at 43 😉 Thanks for sharing those tips and for linking up Susan! 🙂
Of course at the end of the day what’s more important is inner beauty but it never hurts to be a pretty mama. Especially when you can still pass off as a 20 something!
Are you sure her pics were not photoshop-ed? 😛 But yes, I also agree water and healthy food and sunscreen. Now…if only I can remember to slap on the sunscreen everyday.
Yes it made me more conscious of my beauty routine which was seriously lacking and I’m slapping on sunscreen everyday before I step out of the house.
Holy cow! I hope I look like that at 43!
