Kelly Bensimon Feels ‘Sexiest at 49’: All Her Hot Body Secrets

Hot damn! Kelly Bensimon has never looked better. In the new issue of Us Weekly, the model and Second Course author exclusively reveals how she found her sexiest body yet at age 49. Watch the video above to see a sneak from her photo shoot!

The former Real Housewives of New York City star told Us that her new go-to workout is tapping it back at SoulCycle. 

“I actually changed my routine recently,” Bensimon shared. “My oldest daughter started going to SoulCycle. I started going to classes with her and my body started changing. I’m 49-years-old and by amping up my exercise routine, my body started changing.”

The model explained that she “noticed everything becoming more toned” and that she used to always just run, which made her look “over worked out.”

“I think a lot of women exhaust themselves and they age a lot quicker,” Bensimon told Us, adding that switching up her routine to SoulCyle has been a “game changer.”

“I would say I workout only three times a week," she concluded. "Which is less than before and I like my body a lot more.”

how to grow your beards fast

The beard. A symbol of manliness. Throughout history, beards were always associated with power, wisdom, leadership, masculinity, and virility.

The wise old man from the movies? Always had a beard. The tribe leader? The king? A full-bearded man on the throne surrounded by clean shaven subordinates.

Having a beard gives a powerful statement: “I am a man”.

From a psychological point of view, it’s a sign of maturity. And from the female’s perspective; attractiveness and ability to father children.

But before we go on to grow it thicker and faster, do you know what is the “best” way to grow a beard?

THE FOUR WEEKS RULE

You are probably reading this because you believe your beard lacks the density to fill up.

Rage! Increase my beard!

However, most beards never come into existence, because the individual underestimates his beard’s actual potential.

In other words, many don’t ever grow a beard because they falsely believe their beard is too patchy — that it does not have enough coverage to connect and give the appearance of a ‘full beard’.

You must let your beard grow for at least four weeks. Only then, most beards start to connect. Only after a decent amount of time, you can evaluate your beard’s true status.

Commit. Growing a beard is a commitment. Growing a stubble is easy. It’s just a few day’s wait. After that, it only requires basic grooming for maintenance.

As for growing a beard, do not touch it for at least four weeks. Many are surprised by how thick it actually is.

Don’t start shaping your beard too soon either — you will most likely cut off more than you’ve wanted. You need to give your beard time to grow to a respectable length and show you it’s “real lines”.

After four weeks, you have two choices. You can continue to grow it into a majestic and natural ‘yeard’, or you can groom and shape it. Going for a ‘yeard’ will earn you more respect (particularly in the bearded community), while grooming will make it more presentable. The latter is best done by using a proper beard trimmer and scissors.

Don’t forget beard oil. Start applying it as soon as you start growing a beard. It makes it look healthier, younger and extra kissable (same goes for your skin).

Many fail to understand the 4-week rule. It’s the reason so many beards never come into existence in the first place.

However, most of you reading this guide are here because you know you can’t grow a full beard. You are aware of the lack the density and it’s noticeable.

There may be at least one major thing going for you though. You most likely don’t suffer from male pattern baldness (or ever will).

Those who are capable of growing a beard since a very young age are prone to hair loss. Only a few lucky bastards can grow a full, connected beard while never get to suffer from MPB. 

One last thing. Don’t fall for the: “shaving it will make it grow faster” myth.

You grow a beard by letting it grow, not by shaving it.

But enough rambling. Back to the point. You are here to grow a beard faster and thicker.

I have compiled a list of all the things you can do to grow a thicker beard. If you find anything missing, you are welcome to write it in the comments below. If it holds any truth (and a reference), I will add it to this guide.

HOW TO GROW A BEARD THICKER, FASTER AND BETTER

For the matter of growing a beard “faster”, you need to understand one thing. All human hair grows at the same rate. (Which is about half an inch or 1,25 cm per month).

I know you’ve all got that friend who can “grow a beard in two weeks”. It does not mean his beard grows faster; it just becomes apparent sooner.

There are three factors that give the illusion of growing a beard faster:

• Color (darker hair appears thicker)
• Diameter (some have large, thick hairs; others have fine, thin hairs)
• Density (thicker beards fill up faster and so appear to grow quicker)

We can’t make (facial) hair grow faster — but we can make it thicker.

1. HEALTH, NUTRITION, TESTOSTERONE AND DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE (DHT)

The male hormone testosterone has a tremendous effect on facial hair growth. It’s what creates facial hair follicles to begin with. The more testosterone you have, the more likely you can grow a full beard.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a byproduct of testosterone. Both hormones play a role in forming and growing facial hair. (As well as secondary sex characteristics, such as penis growth, body hair, nose hair…).

“Findings suggest that T and DHT may have independent roles in the control of male facial hair growth, i.e. T for hair follicle priming and DHT for promotion of linear growth.” [10]

By increasing your testosterone and DHT levels, you can cultivate a thicker beard.

We will take in account everything you can do to enable your beard the most optimal and fertile conditions.

Let’s start by forming a solid natural foundation.

Here is how you can grow a thicker beard naturally:

A) EXERCISE

You’ll find this tip in every guide about anything. But what can we do — it’s true.

Work that beard.

Exercise affects facial hair in three ways:

• Shedding excessive weight increases testosterone. [1]
• Short intensive exercise is proven to increase testosterone and prevent it from declining. Particularly weightlifting and strength-oriented HIIT (high-intensity interval training). Although, any exercise has a positive effect on your health and testosterone. [1]
• Exercise increases blood circulation. (Blood carries proteins and vitamins to your hair follicles). [2]

Exercise also makes you more handsome.

B) STRESS

Some evidence has shown cortisol reduces testosterone. If you are under chronic stress, your male hormone levels may be suffering.

From a biological point of view, this may be due to testosterone associated behavior (aggression, mating and competing) may lower your chances of survival in an emergency.

Stress also constricts blood vessels, causing the hair root to receive fewer nutrients. Hell, it can even cause hairloss. [1] [3]

Control stress. I know this is easier said than done. What helped me was meditation — being present.

I book I would suggest is ‘The Power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle. It will change the way you view (and handle) stress and emotions.  

C) REST

Healthy bodies need sleep to function. You need to regenerate to keep your testosterone buzzing. A night’s sleep of 7-9 hours should do for most. [4]

Sleep is essential for your well-being and, in this case, growing facial hair.

A study in 2011 by the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed if you sleep for 5 hours or less your testosterone levels suffer as much as 15 percent. [5]

D) DIET

Stick to a healthy, nutritious and vitamin-rich diet. Eat vegetables — they have a profusion of vitamins and minerals. Usually, the worse they taste, the more nutritious they are. Also, hair is a protein filament — eat plenty of protein-rich foods. [6]

Foods like cruciferous vegetables, kale, brazil nuts and eggs also increase testosterone. [12]

Go on a diet. Studies have shown overweight men can boost their testosterone by losing weight. [7]

E) SUPPLEMENTS

They aren’t crucial if you are on a well-balanced diet. However:

“Iron, vitamin E, vitamins B (particularly biotin), vitamin D, selenium, copper, magnesium and zinc” — all play a crucial role in hair growth. Vitamin and mineral deficiency can even cause hair loss. [6]

You can also find oral supplements for facial hair growth. A popular example is Vitabeard. Beard champions like Jack Passion claim they take it with excellent results. [2]

6 Simple Steps On How To Draw Your Eyebrows

Drawing your eyebrows is an easy way to add definition to brows and face. Eyebrows frame the face so its very important they come out just right so you don't look like you just got hit by a bus.

Are you having troubles drawing that perfect brow? Not to worry, here are 6 simple steps on how to draw that perfect eyebrows:

2. Draw a slanted line just below your brows.
3. Then draw another slanted line a little above your brows.
4. Mark your arch by lining up the end of your pupil, place a dot on that line on your brow bone.

5. Using dots lightly outline the shape you want your eyebrow to take.
6. Fill in your brows by using tiny strokes. Blend the pencil strokes with an eyebrow brush to soften the lines and highlight the brows using highlighting powder or concealer or eyeshadow.

                 For a more sophisticated eyebrow, watch the eyebrow tutorial below:
