Young beautiful woman Photo: Magnific
Maintaining a youthful look is the desire of many ladies, but it requires you to put in the work. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go through cosmetic surgery or rock heavy makeup. By simply sticking to healthy habits and watching what you eat, you can attain a younger look.
Here are 10 beauty habits that help women look younger naturally.
1. Eat healthy foods
Stay focused on eating healthy foods and include fruits in your menu. Ensure that your meal consists of the right amount of carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables.
2. Drink enough water daily
Water doesn’t just aid digestion; it helps to cleanse your system and keeps you healthy. Drink enough water daily to stay hydrated for the day’s activities.
3. Exercise regularly
Keeping fit will not only improve your health, but it is also a key way to look younger. You don’t have to be a registered member of a gym to exercise. Taking long walks and jogging in your street regularly will help you to be fit.
4. Avoid excessive stress
Stress has a way of keeping your mind and body low. Avoid situations that will take a toll on your body and give you a grumpy look. Adopt ways to handle issues without being weighed down.
5. Reduce heavy makeup
Do not clog the pores on your face with heavy makeup. Make-up enhances our beauty but giving your face some moments to breathe is very good for your skin.
6. Avoid harsh body lotion
Some body lotions contain toxic chemicals that can damage your skin and make you look older. Do away with them and embrace natural products.
7. Use sunscreen
Apply sunscreen daily to avoid the harsh effects of the sun on your skin. It helps to keep the skin healthy and avoid wrinkles. Our skin is very delicate, and taking proper care of it can make us look younger.
8. Get enough rest and sleep daily
The hustle of earning money can affect our sleep. However, it is important that we create adequate time to rest and sleep in order to be refreshed daily.
9. Socialise with positive people
Aside from work, create time to hang out with positive people. Having people of like minds around you will brighten your spirit and influence your outlook.
10. Dress confidently
From your outfit, one can decode your personality. Rock classy attire and accessories that will highlight your appearance and give you a chic vibe. (The Guardian)
Ojude Oba has opened Ijebu people’s eyes to development — Sonny Kuku
The Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland, Chief Sonny Kuku, says the Ojude Oba Festival has helped inspire development and strengthened unity among the Ijebu people.
Chief Kuku, who represented the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, at the 2026 edition of the festival in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, said he was pleased with the growth of the annual cultural celebration.
“It is very gratifying for me that what we started is getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” he told Channels Television.
According to him, the festival has become more than a cultural gathering, serving as a catalyst for development and social progress in Ijebuland.
“Ojude Oba has opened the eyes of the Ijebu people to the fact that we need to develop more. It has also opened our eyes to social welfare,” he said.
Kuku noted that the festival’s core purpose remains paying homage to the Awujale on the third day after Eid al-Kabir, while fostering unity among people of different faiths.
“It is a uniting factor. Christians, Muslims and traditional worshippers come together and pay homage to one person,” he added.
Thousands of people from across Nigeria and the diaspora attended this year’s festival, the first since the death of Oba Adetona in 2025, celebrating the enduring legacy of the revered monarch and the spirit of unity that continues to define Ojude Oba. (Channels TV)
