How To Appear Younger Than You Really Are

Take care of your teeth. Brush at least twice a day, floss at least once a day, get your teeth cleaned every six months, and have an annual dental checkup.

Simply standing up straight can make you look 10 years younger and 10 pounds thinner. Good posture also allows the nerve cells in your spine to fire more efficiently, boosting your energy by 70% (giving you the get-up-and-go of a much younger person).

Drink lots of water. It allows all your organs to function at peak efficiency and it hydrates your skin cells, plumping them up to keep your skin smooth.

Tend your facial hair. For women, that means filling in any overly-plucked eyebrows, because thin eyebrows are aging. For men, it means shaving off that years-adding beard, especially if it’s coming in salt and pepper. And, need it be said? No stray nose and ear hairs, please.

Wear more color. Yes, we know—black is slimming. Unfortunately, it’s also aging.

Treat yourself to massages. They stimulate the secretion of anabolic hormones, which help reverse aging.

Wearing SPF on your face every day will help prevent wrinkles. Also, don’t forget your neck and hands—nothing says “old” like a saggy neck and age-spotted hands.
