1. Don't Pull Your Eyelids -"When applying eyeliner, I never pull my eyelid. Daily pulling can result in sagging of the skin around your eyes over time." —@Shakone2000
2. Use Essential Oils -"I use my Trilogy Rosehip Oil religiously!" —@gwenpoth
$20, trilogyproducts.com
3. Sleep on Silk -"Sleep on a silk pillow. It’s gentle on your skin and won’t tug on it while you
sleep. Think less sleep lines!" —@EGSkincar
4. Keep Eye Cream on Hand -"I keep a small dram of my favorite eye cream in my purse and over the
course of the day dab a small amount onto my eye area, especially on
the crow's-feet. By dabbing it (not rubbing) I can apply it over
makeup. And as an extra bonus it gives the area a sheen, much like a
illuminating product, but with anti-aging benefits!

SPONSORED TIP: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum
Keeping your skin moisturized is one of the most basic things you can do to prevent visible signs of aging on the skin.
5. Protect Your Hands -"Your hands are a telltale sign of your age. Keep them well-moisturized! Use gloves when doing dishes or household work, and put SPF on them!" —@DERMELECT
6. Help Your Lotion Do More -"After you wash your face, before putting on moisturizer or any anti-aging lotions, run an ice cube over your face for a minute (or splash with some very cold water). It helps the skin absorb more of what is in these lotions, helping them become more effective. It does make a difference after a few nights of doing so! Give it a try!" —@LisaOnTheLoose
7. Up Your Antioxidants -"Use foods with antioxidants and good fats as beauty products
(e.g., blueberries, avocados). You can not only eat them, but use them in
facial masks and hair treatments!" —@yourstylishlife
8. Try Emu Oil -"I use Emu Oil on my face and hands morning and night. It's a thick pad of fat from a bird back.
I live by it, plus it's easy on the wallet." —@BGDmakeupartist
Try Pure 100% Emu Oil, $24, vitaminworld.com.
9. Ionize Your Water -"Improve your immune system and detox at the same time when you drink ionized alkaline water!" —@agingyounger
10. Apply Your Face Cream with a Brush -"Use a (synthetic) foundation brush to put on face cream using upward strokes. Not only will you avoid the skin-pulling that is common when applying cream with your hands, but the upward strokes will help to keep skin from sagging long-term." —@mayamshapir
11. Take Care of Your Hands -"Buy a less expensive night cream and use it on your hands." —@nutritionist77
12. Wash with Your Cloth -"Use a rough, nubby washcloth to bathe. It is the most inexpensive yet effective way to slough off the dead skin!" —@vintagemistress
13. Improve Your Posture -"In order to avoid getting hunched over and losing height, I sit on my sitz bones and stand with my weight in my heels — this also reduces back pain!" —@posturecoach
14. Take Your Vitamins -"Take a serving of flaxseed, cod liver, and organic olive oil daily."
—@LynnHasselbrgr
15. Get Your Blood Flowing -"I stand on my head every day for five minutes to engorge my face and head with blood and keep a youthful look." —@maxinefrendel
16. Maintain Your Lip Color -"Our lips lose color as we get older, so always use a lip stain under gloss or lip glaze. A beautiful gloss will give lips pop, but when it wears off, you may be left with a low-watt lip line. I prep my clients' lips with my Dr. KISS satin finish lip balm. It gives a small lift of color that will 'stain' the lips and give a flush of pink. This 'sets the stage' for your favorite lip color while making sure you'll have baby-hued lips between touch-ups." —@vanitymark
17. Use a Tinted Sunscreen -"The esthetician in me screams a tinted sunscreen is one product every woman should have and use! Sunscreen is the single most important thing we can put on our face to fight wrinkles and brown spots (uneven tone). The tint is because we all want a natural glow to our skin, and most tinted sunscreens provide this. If we like the way the sunscreen makes us look, the more likely we are to use it! DermaQuest ZinClear SPF 30 comes in clear or tinted forms, so that's one I always like to recommend." —@DermaMinerals $51.50, skinstore.com
18. Don't Be Aged by the Color of Your Shirt -"If you're a redhead or have brown hair with warm highlights and you're wearing pale gray or dusty lavender, you've aged yourself significantly!
Some 'anti-aging wardrobe shades' for this hair color would be teal,
olive green, and burnt orange. If you're a deep brunette, camel, olive, and mustard add years.
Try a top in royal purple, fuchsia, or cobalt blue for a quick fix.
If you have warm blonde hair, cranberry, dusty rose, or taupe — not so
much.
Try a turquoise, tomato red, or orange tee and you'll look so much
more alive.
If you have ash blonde or gray hair, avoid mustard, rust, and coral.
Go for a lavender, dusty rose, or mint green cami to turn back the
clock.
Before women start nipping and tucking and spending a fortune on the anti -aging product du jour, why not first change the color of your tee and
lip gloss?" —@jillkirshcolor
19. Drink Green Tea -"I drink green tea for its powerful antioxidant properties for staying
youthful. Plus, you can wake up tired, puffy eyes with cotton pads soaked in
it."
—@ann_m_brown
20. Always Use Sunscreen -"Use sunscreen even on days you don't think the sun is out: Skin cancer is a silent killer. Know the difference between UVA and UVB. And remember, it takes 30 minutes for the sunscreen to activate. Fewer wrinkles and sun spots, and less of a risk of cancer!" —
@FaceForum
21. Treat Hands and Neck -"Apply facial serums or lotions to the back of your hands and then "roll" the back of your hands up your neck. Now you've treated your neck and hands at the same time. These are the two telltale areas often forgotten that show signs of aging." —@customizdbeauty
22. Sleep on Your Back -"I always sleep on my back. Doing so prevents wrinkles and keeps my boobs from sagging.
" —@elle_swan
23. Moisturize Naturally -"The best moisturizer for your skin should be loaded with antioxidants, will not clog pores, and will help protect against skin cancer. Dab a little extra virgin olive oil on a cotton ball and use it as a nighttime moisturizer for your face and neck (and anywhere else you want to be soft!)." —@SweetCheeks
24. Find Your Favorite Products and Stick with Them -"I use Arbonne's RE9 Advanced anti-aging skin-care system!" —@fridovichlee
25. Avoid Drinking Out of Straws -"The pursing of the lips causes unnecessary wrinkles. Save that expression for kissing!" —@ReneeRouleau
26. Use Honey as a Moisturizer -"As soon as the weather turns cold, I put ordinary honey on the back of my hands for 3-6 days or nights. This stops red, scaly, bleeding hands from starting and keeps them smooth all winter." —@Sondra
27. Extend the Reach of Your Eye Cream -"I never put eye cream just on my eyes — I always extend it all the way out to the hairline. The skin between the eyes and the hairline is more like that of the eyes than the rest of your face. So far my eyes have been good to me!" —@MySkinConcierge
28. Just Breathe -"I take 10 breaths, three times per day (in through nose, out through mouth), at a 2-to-3 ratio. For example, breath in four seconds, then breath out six seconds. Focusing on your exhale releases more toxins, and allows more oxygen in cells. And when you're working out, do two to three all-out bursts for 12 seconds each during cardio...this can strengthen the inner membrane of mitochondria, which slows or prevents deterioration of cells." —@sergiorojasfit
29. Eat Your Antioxidants -"Find them in foods such as blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, kale, beans, prunes, raisins, tea, and whole grains." —@BodyVerde
30. Start Your Days with Lemons -"Juice one Meyer lemon into a cup of water every morning to begin the day chasing free radicals (which are harmful and aging) out of your body." —@POMEGA5
31. Take Care of Your Lips -"After I apply my eye cream, I rub the remainder that is on my finger around my lips. The skin is very similar." —@StormSister
32. Use Tea as More Than Just a Beverage -"Wet (but don't drain) caffeinated tea bags and freeze. Use the frozen tea bags on closed eyes for 20 minutes three times a week to reduce dark circles, puffiness, and discoloration. Tea bags can be any brand but MUST have caffeine, which does the work."
—@VinceSpinnato
33. Love Your Job -"Find a profession or occupation that you enjoy!" —@DietsInReview
34. Cool Down -"Take cooler showers to combat dry skin. You'll notice the difference in less than a week. Especially on colder, windy days when you're tight on time and skip your body cream."
—@PerfectPitchPR
35. Take Biotin -"I've been taking biotin for years, 7.5 micrograms per day. It helps keep your nails harder and thicker since they tend to thin and peel with age." —@Dermatologic
Love Honey C.
