"I am so excited to be working with Fixodent to help you feel confident about your smile.

"As women age, our list of age-related gripes is long and includes everything from droopy boobs to saggy eyelids and bad teeth. The truth is we will continue to age whether we use the best makeup, use the most expensive skin creams, or have cosmetic surgery... there is nothing we can do to stop the process. But women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and even 80s still want to have fun with beauty and fashion and be comfortable with their true age. The key to coping with these issues is to stop looking over your shoulder and find solutions for the face and body you have now—not the one you had 10 years ago.

"As part of the "Circle of Confidence," I will offer tips to dentureliving.com visitors and answer their questions and concerns about this transition and how it relates to beauty and looking one's best."

Questions and topics Lois will address include:

  • What is the fastest, easiest fix for looking younger?
  • Will dentures make me look different?
  • How will dentures affect my smile?
  • What beauty products can I use to help accentuate my new smile?

beauty tips from Lois Joy Johnson

Switch from nudes to color for a prettier, shapelier mouth. Beige lipsticks and nude gloss are great when you’re young but they’re not your best friend now. Shades close to your skin tone make thin, flat lips look thinner and smaller and disappear when you smile.
