  • With lipstick, you look younger

Anti-wrinkle closet and other miracle recipes to make a few years: to look younger, it would be enough to wear red lipstick. This is in any case what reveals a team of researchers at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania in collaboration with the research and development center of Chanel brand. The researchers in this study found that the youth of a face had contrasts between the color of the skin and that of the lips. "The redness of the lips decreases with age, but the skin that surrounds the lips conversely becomes redder, resulting in lower contrast," says Richard Russell, the principal investigator of the study. To limit this phenomenon, the red lipstick is your best ally.
