There’s nothing in the world that means more to us than a quality TikTok find. Just this past month alone, users have inspired us to buy a shockingly affordable (and effective) pack of camel toe-preventing thongs and a wrinkle-erasing eye gel—then its dupes because, of course, it sold out. Now, we’re running to the virtual shopping aisle of Juno & Co to buy its $15 cleansing balm, because we’ve simply seen too many rave reviews not to.

It all started when @rogerwh0 posted a video using the balm all the way back in March. In in, you see just how effective the milky gel can be at removing makeup and sunscreen.

“As someone with combo oily skin, I love how the Clean 10 balm breaks down excess oils and impurities without leaving a greasy feel or stripping the skin,” they said. Months later, the brands hashtag has over 118 million views—the majority of which are for reviews of this product.

In the minute-long video, you can watch as the beauty guru gently rubs the cleanser in her hands before applying it to her made-up face. As she places pressure on her face, her eye shadow, mascara, and foundation literally drip off her skin. It’s strangely satisfying to watch, tbh.

“It’s actually melting off?” she said of her makeup. “What the heck, I was not expecting this!”

This melting effect is all thanks to the oil-based cleanser’s 10 ingredients, which include vitamin-rich Japanese Barley Magic, Vitamin E, and orange peel oil. Per the brand, these enriching ingredients combine to brighten skin, reduce dark spots, and cleanse without stripping away any essential natural oils from your face.

Don’t let the idea of an oil-based cleanser scare you, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. A general rule of thumb in the skincare industry is that the dryer your skin is, the thicker the oil it’ll produce. So, when you cleanse it with oils and hydration, it will produce less of this acne-causing oil.

“It’s the best cleansing balm on the market,” wrote one reviewer. “I always had a hard time taking my makeup off but this is like butter”

Women come in all shapes and sizes and, as such, there is no one-style-fits-all approach when it comes to fashion after 60. Pear-shaped women such as Marilyn Monroe are renowned for their tiny waists and full-figured, feminine silhouettes. If you have ever looked at your reflection and had a mini-Marilyn moment, you will enjoy the video Margaret recorded with Melanie Payge!

Melanie is a fashion expert who Margaret interviewed in Milan, and the two of them discussed the best ways to accentuate and get the most out of your gorgeous pear-shaped figure.

Fashion for Mature Women: Hourglass Accenting 101

If you have a pear-shaped figure, chances are one of your best assets is your waist. Melanie feels that specific cuts of jackets highlight this area well. They should be cut in at the waist, with any detailing positioned at the back, particularly for longer styles.

Waist-length jackets are a fantastic choice to emphasize your waist, and no matter the length you choose, the jacket should be tailored with a broad, straight shoulder!

Of course, no fashion over 60 outfit is complete without the right top! Tailored tops with a close or slim fit are lovely for a pear-shaped figure, with special care taken to highlight your décolletage area.

Lengthening Your Lovely Legs

Fashion for older women is about experimenting, letting loose and seeing what you like; however, naturally, some styles will suit different figures better than others. Melanie recommends women with hourglass figures should avoid leggings as they disrupt the silhouette, emphasizing the wrong areas.

Straight-leg pants that fall from your hip area bring your look together, showing off your lovely full figure and lengthening your legs.

Keep It Simple!

Accessories can be a minefield for some of us, and if you feel this way, Melanie has some good news for you!

For pear-shaped figures, she recommends the best way to approach accessorizing is to keep it simple. She recommends avoiding scarves and chunky accessories, leaving your look simple, accentuating your natural beauty.

Don’t Wait for Weight

You would be hard-pressed to find a woman who hasn’t shopped with her so-called ‘perfect future figure’ in mind. For some of us, it can mean putting on weight, but as Margaret says, “Many women shop with anticipation of losing weight.”

This is a silly attitude at any age, but we should really know better by now! Fashion after 60 should be about buying clothes that help express who you are, help you live in the moment, and help you enjoy life! As Melanie says, fashion isn’t about losing weight, “It’s about accepting your body type, dressing correctly for that type and enhancing the things that are positive about your body.”

We all lose weight differently at different ages, so you may even find your shape isn’t what you assumed it would be! The bottom line is, you should never shop in anticipation of your idealized perfect weight. Carpe diem!

Enjoy the video with Melanie, and read the full interview below!

Margaret Manning:

This is a special fashion edition of the Sixty and Me show. Today I’m with Melanie Payge, a fashion consultant in Milan, with whom we’re discussing body types. We all know it’s important to understand our body type, so we can buy clothes that really work for us.

In this interview, we will focus on the so-called pear-shaped body, and Melanie will use me as her model, as I am bigger on the bottom than I am on the top. What advice have you got for me, Melanie, to accentuate my body type?

Melanie Payge:

To be honest, I never really liked those shape comparisons. Many women have bigger hips and a smaller waist, and I call it the Marilyn Monroe type.

You, in particular, have a very, very small waist, while people in the other body types – the petite, the larger waist and the broad shoulders – don’t have waists anymore. The waist tends to disappear.

If you’re the Marilyn Monroe type of body, the one thing you really want to accentuate is your waistline. Now, you don’t want to do that the wrong way. You want to be tailored and fitted. For instance, you definitely want to go for jackets that give you the broader shoulders.

They need to go straight across on the shoulders – not down, not up, but straight across. Then you also want the jacket to come in and define your waistline, and you want to be able to button it.

A very nice touch could be a ruffle, a slit or a seam on the back, which goes a bit lower to cover a certain area. You really want to make sure that the jacket defines your waistline, and you can enhance the effect with a belt.

Margaret:

So, are you saying a jacket should go up to the waist in order to accentuate it? I always tend to buy jackets that go a bit lower, to the middle of my hips. Is this good for my shape, or have I got it wrong?

Melanie:

There are now lots of different types of jackets to choose from to enhance our beauty. You can use them for color instead of using outdated scarves or excessive jewelry.

So, if you had a stylish jacket on, it would be perfectly fine to have it stop at the height of your waist, especially if you’re wearing it with a nice dress that’s tailored to fit your body type.

Make sure though, that the jacket doesn’t go straight down. It needs to have a defined seam that fits your waistline and doesn’t go too high or too low. That’s very important with this body type.

If your hips are two or three sizes larger than your shoulders, you do not want to be wearing leggings or any kind of skinny clothing over your legs. Instead, you want to make sure that your pant leg is extremely straight and comes down from where your hips are.

This really enhances the style of your leg and brings your look together to make it a full-figured-woman look. It has nothing to do with losing weight. It’s about accepting your body type and dressing correctly for that type so that you enhance the things that are positive about your body.

Margaret:

I’m glad you mentioned weight because I think a lot of women from all body types tend to shop in anticipation of losing weight. They go into the shop and buy clothes that would fit them if they lost 20 pounds. As an expert, what is your advice to someone who buys clothing with that kind of mindset?

Melanie:

Well, it’s great if you do lose the weight, but there’s no guarantee you’d lose it exactly where you want to. It often happens that you want to have a slimmer tummy, but you lose weight in your hips instead. That’s why my advice is to just buy the clothing that fits your body type at that moment.

I’m very much an advocate for accepting ourselves just the way we are, regardless of our body type. It’s not right to be envious of another. What we need to do is just look at ourselves, consider our assets and dress with them in mind. That will definitely enhance our looks.

Margaret:

I really believe that when you feel good about yourself, you actually look better. So, that’s really good advice – just dress for your body shape and make sure your clothing is fitted right.

Let me ask you then, since we covered the waist and the pants, what should we do about tops when there’s a difference in the sizes of the top and bottom? Would a dress work in this case?

Melanie:

Well, that depends. If you buy a dress and your body is of different sizes, the dress will need to be tailored. If your hips are larger, then the shoulders and sides will need to be fitted in. You could wear a jacket over the dress, but that won’t make the dress fit better.

A good option in this case would be going for a skirt and a top. This way you can choose one size for the skirt and a different size for the top. When you buy a top, always consider the neckline because a smaller size above would require an accent around your neck, like the pearls that you have.

Margaret:

How about scarves? Does my body type allow for scarves? What guidelines do you have for accessorizing?

Melanie:

It depends on what you’re wearing, but over 60 you never want to have a cluttered, complicated look. You want to keep it simple while at the same time accentuate your natural beauties.

Margaret:

This is fantastic advice. I hope our community finds it valuable. Thank you very much, Melanie, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Bye, bye.

As a geriatrician, I work with senior patients who suffer from a diverse range of problems, including memory worries, anxiety, pain, diabetes, falls, and more. One symptom many of them have in common is poor sleep.

Having enough sleep feels great, but sleep should not be regarded as a luxury. Sleep is an essential element which your mind and body need to work at an optimal level.

Getting enough sleep, which for the vast majority of the population is between 7-9 hours each night, can help enhance your memory and ability to learn, aid decision-making, improve your blood sugar level and your mood.

Sleep doesn’t just have short-term benefits, however. People who get regular, good quality sleep also enjoy better health in the long-term and are more protected against things like cardiovascular disease and obesity – compared to those who have variable sleep habits, like shift workers.

For those of you who would like to feel a little more rested, here are 10 strategies to improve your sleep.

Get the Light Right

Light helps to set our body’s day-night cycle, also termed “circadian rhythm.” Getting out in the morning to get some daylight exposure is a good way to let your body know that it is daytime and to suppress the sleepy hormones.

The flip side of this is that avoiding bright lights helps your brain to release melatonin, the “feel sleepy” hormone.

Blue-wave light is the kind that particularly encourages us to wake up. In that respect, some people even buy orange tinted glasses for the evening to give their brains the best chance to wind down.

Put the Screen Down

Mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads are particularly potent when it comes to suppressing melatonin release. Reading on an iPad before bed is a sure-fire way to suppress melatonin production. If you want to get some sleep, read an old-fashioned print book instead.

Exercise

Exercise and sleep have a bidirectional relationship as they tend to enhance each other. When you have had the chance to be physically active, you are more ready for bed, but sleeping can also help you to have a harder exercise session.

When you are more rested, you have the energy to throw yourself into your workout, which, in turn, will give you a more restful sleep the next night.

Cool Down

As we near the time when we get ready for bed, our bodies actually cool down a little. Even though it can feel nice to be cozy and warm, the cooler temperatures of night help us sleep.

Turning the thermostat down to 60-67 degrees Fahrenheit or 18-20 degrees Celsius is one way to prepare your body for optimal sleep.

Avoid Stimulants

Although a cup of tea before bed is a nice tradition, it does contain caffeine. It takes your body around six hours to break down half the caffeine in your morning coffee. Naturally, this means that if you drink a coffee at 3 p.m., half the caffeine is still flowing around your body at 9 p.m.

If you want to have refreshing sleep, keep the coffee/tea and cola for before midday.

Avoid Alcohol

As a well-known depressant, alcohol can easily make you drowsy – but it actually impedes deep sleep. When you have been drinking, the alcohol in your system works to stop you from getting into a deep sleep.

As a result, you experience multiple night awakenings which leave you feeling lethargic in the morning.

Follow a Bedtime Routine

Just like babies and small children, your body can really benefit from a winddown before bed. It is a good idea to start an hour before you want to go to sleep, perhaps with a relaxing bath and a peppermint tea, followed by reading in low light.

Having a consistent bedtime will also help your circadian rhythm.

Get Up at the Same Time Each Morning

Although it can seem like a good idea to catch up with a weekend lie-in, this can throw your sleep out for the next night. One of the recommended changes for improving sleep is to get up at the same time every day so your brain knows what to expect.

Avoid Naps to Sleep Better After 60

If you are having trouble sleeping at night, the tempting afternoon nap is not a good idea. This reduces sleep pressure and means that you are not as ready for bed at night.

Particularly problematic is the early evening nap in front of the TV. It is better to actually go to bed – or choose a more engaging activity.

Get Professional Help

If you are chronically exhausted, having unrefreshed sleep, snoring, or falling asleep whenever you sit down, you might have an underlying medical condition.

There are some conditions – like obstructive sleep apnea, where the airway closes when the muscles relax for sleep – that lead to extremely unrefreshing sleep. If simple sleep hygiene measures don’t help, it is time to see a sleep physician.

Additionally, if you have significant insomnia, described as trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, cognitive behavioral therapy with a psychologist is the most evidence-based treatment.

Invest in the Right Mattress

You shouldn’t disregard your mattress either. If it’s too soft or too hard for you, getting the sleep you need will be challenging. If you are unsure what works best for you, go to a store and try the offerings. There is bound to be at least one that matches your needs.

Pursue Good Sleep

Chronic sleep deprivation is a growing problem. Although some people suffer from medically diagnosed insomnia, for many it is caused by the distractions provided by modern life.

It often has to do with deciding to watch just one more episode of that compelling TV show, or having that glass of wine after dinner, or scrolling Facebook when you should be going to bed.

Changing habits is hard, but if you want to optimize your physical and mental health in the short- and long-term, sleep is an essential choice you need to make.
