Keep Your Cool While Dating Over 70 This Summer

Dating over 70 is great fun and gets you out and about meeting new people, but don’t forget…

Avoid the tomato factor

We all have sensitive skin in our 70’s, so protection from the sun is vital. We suggest using a sun screen with a sun protection level of 30 or maybe even higher. Applying sun block to your face, ears and neck is important, but don’t forget your arms and any exposed skin on your legs.

Hat should do it

Taking a hat out on a sunny day is a great idea. A hat will help defend your head from intense sunlight, protecting you skin and reflecting heat away from your head.

Sunglasses

Ok, so maybe you don’t want to look like a 70+ rock star on your first date, but wearing shades is essential in any bright sunlight. Buying a pair of sunglasses won’t break the bank these days and you should be able to find an affordable pair with a high level of UV protection (100% would be best). If the packaging doesn’t state any level of UVA or UVB protection, move on to the next pair.

Water… water…

You might not need gallons and gallons of water during the British summer, but it’s always a great idea to have at least a small bottle with you. Dehydration can creep up on you unaware’s while you’re chit chatting on your sunny date.

5 Tips For Keeping Warm For Seniors This Winter

1. Layers, Layers & More Layers…

Ok, so you might not be the coolest looking senior in the street if you’re wear 5 jumpers at the same time. Don’t let that bother you too much. Anyone wearing any less than that in British winter must be out of their minds. You’ll be warm and toasty and they won’t. You can always peel off a layer if you’ve over done it a little.

2. Tea And Biscuits…

If you’re chilled to the bone, put something hot inside you. Now, that might sound a bit saucy, but it’s true. A nice hot cup of tea or bowl of soup will warm you through right from your core. You’ll be toasty in minutes. Keep off the alcohol, even a hot toddy might make you colder. Alcohol lowers your metabolic rate which slows you down, which in turn, cools you down.

3. You’ve Got To Move It, Move It, Move It…

Keeping active in the cold is a great way of keeping warm. You don’t have to run a marathon, or do 50 squat thrusts, just keep active, do a bit of vacuuming or dusting. The more you move, the more you generate heat in the core of your body and the higher your metabolism will get, pushing warmer blood into your chilly fingers and toes.

4. Worried about your heating bill?

If you have several rooms in your home that you don’t use very much or don’t even use at all, it might be worth turning off any radiators in those rooms and keeping the doors closed. There’s no point in heating your entire house, if you use just a few rooms. This should help slice chunks off of your heating bill, which means you might not worry too much about having your heating on in the first place.

5. Snuggle Up To Somebody Else…

What better way to keep warm than to snuggle up to somebody else on the sofa in front of your favourite film. Join Singles Over 70 For Free and find your local matches and get snuggling today.
