1. DO NOT ABUSE ALCOHOL

Alcohol despite its bubbly pleasures causes dehydration and skin damage. “You may as well spend a week at the beach in the sun without sunscreen if you go to sleep after a drinking bender without properly protecting your skin,” suggests a High School Musical diva.

Abusing alcohol will, over time, decrease the body’s ability to produce collagen and reduces skin’s firmness and elasticity, which will cause dry, sagging, wrinkled skin.

2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT

This is just good common sense. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high spf sun protectant. “I use spf 50 on my neck and face; however, I do recommend spf 35 on your body. Doing this protects my vulnerable skin, but allows me to develop a nice brownish tan everywhere else,” suggests a former Mickey Mouse club member.

3. DON’T DRINK COFFEE

Caffeine is nature’s diuretic and coffee contains it in spades. It causes the body to get rid of necessary liquids and nutrients. Jesus-lovin’ Country music singers agree, “When I drink too much coffee, my teeth become noticeable stained and I can swear that the slight wrinkles around my eyes start developing into crow’s feet.”

4. CITRUS AND VEGETABLES ARE YOUR FRIENDS

Spinach and other leafy greens contains vast amounts of antioxidants that aid skin health. Citrus like oranges and grapefruit have vitamin C, which boosts the skin’s production of collagen. And collagen production is essential to skin elasticity, firmness and prevents the onset of premature wrinkling.

5. H20! DRINK AT LEAST TEN GLASSES OF WATER

“I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day, and really notice that my skin looks dull, gray, and vapid when I don’t,” says a certain hotel-fortune heiress.

6. USE A NIGHT TIME MOISTURIZER THAT CONTAINS RETINOL, VITAMIN C, & PEPTIDES

This is the most important step you can take to reduce the environment’s wear and tear on your face. Choose a night time moisturizer that contains proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides. “My night time moisturizer is my saving grace. I use it religiously and know that it is saving my skin. I am 45 and boys approach me at the gym and clubs thinking I’m 25,” says a member of Hollywood royalty who judiciously declined to be named.
