Go Glossy: Trading in your lipstick for gloss is the single most effective way to look younger. Lipstick acts like a neon sign, directing eye traffic straight to fine lines around your mouth, while gloss gives lips a youthful gleam.

Lighten Up On Foundation: Heavy foundation also sets into fine lines and wrinkles making them more visible, not less. Opt for a lightweight foundation or concealer with a soft dusting of translucent powder instead of full-coverage liquid foundation.

Whiten Those Choppers: Yellow teeth are the Scarlet Letter of aging. Do a gentle baking soda brush over teeth once a week to whiten them naturally.

Exfoliate Skin: Gentle exfoliation removes dead, drab skin cells and restores complexion to a peachy glow. You don't have to splurge on an expensive cream, just massage face with a warm, damp washcloth in circular motions gently after cleansing once or twice a week.

Get Your Beauty Rest. Sleep is one of those obvious no-brainers that actually works. Nothing will age you faster than lack of sleep, leading to dark circles and sallow skin. Get at least 8 hours a night for inner and outer beauty.

Let Your Hair Down: Soft, natural hair is synonymous with youth. Avoid severe 'dos, including over-styling and OD'ing on styling products. Above all, don't let your stylist steer you toward a "granny" 'do. Letting hair fall naturally and softly around the face will instantly take years off your age.

Get That Eye Lift. Just not the surgical kind. If you don’t use a eyelash curler, now’s the time to invest in one as giving eyelashes a gentle boost gives eyes a youthful appearance. Try warming your curler by blowing it with your hair dryer for 10-15 seconds and pumping lashes gently at the root for a natural curl.
