Quit Drinking/Smoking
With the exception of a glass or two of red wine a day, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking (separately or together) is one of the fastest ways to looking years older than you are. These bad habits suck the life out of your skin and make it look dry and old. Consider kicking these poor habits and your skin and body will thank you later.

Ditch the Makeup
Many women think that wearing makeup makes them look younger. Maybe that’s partially true but there are two very important things you should know if you want to stay looking young and beautiful: Cream foundations and powder foundations are your worst enemy. As you get older, fine wrinkles around your eyes and mouth are inevitable. You can decrease them by using creams and moisturizers but you won’t be able to eliminate them completely.
When you apply cream or powder foundations to these areas, the makeup seeps into the wrinkles making them appear way more noticeable than they were when your face was free of makeup. Throw these products in the trash and you’ll look years younger instantly.
