Do you want to know how to take years off your face in a photograph?
Do you want to be amazed at how fabulous you can really look… sans surgery?
Creams and potions really, really help and well applied make up can make all the diffence.
But there is one more thing… a little secret I discovered.
Last week in Paris, Carla and I took heaps of portraits and the one thing that became very, very clear was this…
When I smiled or laughed I looked ten years younger… True.
Trust me, ten years helps… a lot.
There was nothing wrong with a pensive face or a contemplative look… but the smiles, well… they made me smile wider.
We all know the beauty advantages of laughter and smiles for inner radiance… but a smile, as a practical tool, is very useful.
It truly is an instamt facelift.
In this day and age of “selfies”… not that I am a massive fan nor have I mastered the art… it does help if we can take a decent photograph.
Family photos, holiday snaps…birthday memories… we want to look as we feel.
Happy, bright, enthusiastic… and full of life.
Here is the tip.
Smile big, smile wide… show teeth or not, depending on your smile… but smile.
The trick is that it lifts the jaw line and puts an instant sparkle and flash of cheekiness in the eyes.
It’s fun, it’s infectious… and trust me, it works.
Try the big wide smile, our mini-facelift when you are next snapped… and tell me what you think… xv
