Look Younger Longer

Turn back the clock with these tips for beautiful skin

As you age, collagen production, cell turnover, and oxygen flow slow down and start to show in the form of dullness and fine creases. Luckily, damage isn’t a done deal. Start your one woman anti-aging war now. Here's how to look younger longer without resorting to facial surgery. In the meantime, try on makeup in our virtual makeup studio.

If you spent your youth frolicking in the sun, say hello to your new brown spots. Other physical changes include deeper expression lines, enlarged pores, broken capillaries, and puffiness or dark circles under the eyes. Don’t discard your zit-zapping potions just yet—hormonally driven acne is still a possibility.

For younger looking skin, treat it like precious silk. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your neck—just like your face—day and night. Speed up skin's cell renewal process by gently exfoliating your face, neck and chest two to three times a week. Sleeping on a satin pillow case can prevent tugging and wrinkling of delicate skin.

Skin care should become more specialized as you age, which makes neck and eye cream non-negotiable for day and night. Think of the eye skin as tissue paper, the face as wrapping paper, and the neck like crepe paper. Each one has a different texture and function that needs care. Product portion control and application are key. Warm a small amount of eye cream between your finger tips and gently apply it, using your ring and middle finger, to the orbital bone surrounding the eye, working toward the nose. Neck cream should be applied in a downward sweeping motion from the chin all the way to the décolletage. --Stephanie Simons
