 Why is it that when you're younger, you always want to look older, and then when you're older, you always want to look younger? It's one of life's interesting paradoxes. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong with aging, but there's a big difference between aging gracefully versus looking like you've aged. You know what I mean? You want to go to your 20-year high school reunion and have people tell you, wow, you look great, man, rather than whispering behind your back. Geez, I can't believe how old that guy looks. So, in this video, I'm going to be revealing six simple things you can do to keep yourself looking younger, longer. I'm Brian Sakawa, and you are watching He Spoke Style, where we give you the information and inspiration you need to dress well, have more confidence, and unlock your potential. Okay, so this first one is literally the easiest thing in the world to do, and it's something that I have done every single time I go to the barber. I don't know why this works, but it does. And the thing I am talking about is to trim your eyebrows. As we get older, as some of us already know, hair starts to do weird things, especially when it comes to the facial area. Like, all of a sudden, you're getting hair on your ears, coming out of your ears, your nose, and of course, those eyebrows, which can start to get really shaggy. If you're not maintaining them in addition to your ears and nose, it just makes you look older and like you've kind of given up in some way. And this is not what we want to project out into the world. So next time you're at the barber, tell him or her to give your eyebrows a quick trim, put the comb on there, go over them with the clippers, and then you will look younger, more youthful, and like someone who puts time and effort into maintaining themselves. Nothing wrong with that. The next way to keep yourself looking younger longer is to take care of your skin. Now, what you need to know about skin care is that the sooner you can make it part of your daily routine, the better the results will be over time. So if you haven't been taking care of your skin, you need to start immediately. Now I hear you and I know that one of the problems that guys have when it comes to skin care is that it seems too complicated and that you just don't know where to start.

I had pretty much constant pain right here on my shoulder and that base of my skull right back here. And maybe the worst and most concerning part was that I had a throbbing headache right here all day long for about a week or two that would get worse as the day went on. And by the evening, it was really bad. I'd never really felt anything like that before. So my mind went to a pretty bad place. I thought there really, really was something wrong with me. So I got the first appointment with my doctor as I could. And what she told me was number one, this muscle is really, really tight. And number two, that I was under an immense amount of stress and thinking that something was wrong with me did not help that at all. You know, this is one of the things that I wrestle with all the time. I always have to be doing something. There's always another project I want to start on top of everything else that I do. I just like to keep piling it on and piling it on and keeping myself busy. But that leads to a lot of stress and stress will make you age faster. And I'm not just talking about gray hairs here. I'm talking about two very important things here for your health, as well as how you look stress is a terrible thing for your body and your mind. I learned that firsthand very recently. It's making hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol surge throughout your body, resulting in higher blood pressure. I've never had high blood pressure in my entire life. It's always right where it should be. But that day, when I took my blood pressure at the doctor, I was pushing like 140 over 75 high blood pressure is not only unhealthy, but it makes the body age faster. So you've got to find ways to reduce the stress in your life. For me, that's doing a little bit less and exercising. Exercise is such a great way to release energy, to release that stress from your body. But what you need to do is to find those things that bring you a sense of calm and to make time for them. Carve out that time in the day for yourself to help yourself. You'll be healthier and you won't age quite as fast. Speaking of aging quickly, let's talk about something that really accelerates the aging process in terms of how you look. And that is smoking. In addition to being bad for your heart, lungs and bones, smoking chronically changes your skin, teeth and hair in ways that will add years to how you look. Now, what are some things that happen? Smoking deprives your skin of oxygen and nutrients, which accelerates the aging process. Not good. Many of the over 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke trigger the destruction of collagen and elastin, which causes sagging skin and wrinkles. There's research that suggests that smokers are more susceptible to age spots after spending time in the sun. It's going to damage your teeth and your gums. Smoking can accelerate your hair thinning. I am not judging you if you are a smoker. I know that it is a habit and that it is a habit that can be incredibly tough to quit. All I want to point out is that smoking accelerates the aging process. So if you want to look younger, longer, consider quitting smoking. But don't just do it to look younger because it's good for your health too. All right, I've got two more tips for you. One is kind of a quick fix and the other is more of a long-term process that pays big dividends. I'm going to start off with a quick fix though and back to what I mentioned at the beginning of the video of when you're younger, how you want to look older. One of the things guys can't wait to do when they're younger is grow a mustache and a beard. When you were in high school, being able to grow a mustache or beard made you look older and more mature, which is what you want when you're a 16-year-old kid, right? While the same holds true when you're older because that beard makes you look older. Look at this photo of me with a beard and look at me right now. You see the difference, right? I look younger without the beard. So quick fix for looking younger, longer, shave that beard. Okay, let's talk about the more process-oriented long-term thing now, which is to make sure that you get enough sleep. You've heard people say, I need my beauty rest, right? And it's not just a saying, there's actually something to that. So you know that sleep is the time when your body is resting and repairing itself. This is actual science and both deep and REM sleep have been linked to cell and tissue repair. So getting enough sleep helps give your skin that extra boost. While you are sleeping, your body's making collagen. Collagen is the stuff that literally holds your body and skin together. So the more sleep you get, the more time you're giving your body to make collagen, which for our purposes here of looking younger, longer helps fight the appearance of wrinkles. So there you have it.
