5 Proven Ways to Look Younger
Just because you have a few wrinkles and strands of silver hair doesn't mean you can't look 10 years younger.

AP9 Shopping Essentials offers five tips every woman should know to look and feel not just two or five years younger--but a full decade!

1. Learn new make-up tricks.
The beauty regimen or products that have always worked in the past may not work as well as you age. Don't get flustered. Follow these three make-up tricks to help erase the years:

  1. As you age, your skin will become drier. Constantly moisturize your skin, especially your face and hands. Once your skin is properly moisturized, sparingly apply a cream formula concealer to hide imperfections, such as age spots and sun damage.

  • Use a liquid base instead of a powder since powder can settle into fine lines and wrinkles, making you look older.
  • Use a brightener around your eyes to hide circles and dark shadows between the nose-to-eye area. It wakes up the eyes and, more important, sheds the years.2. Treat your skin as your best friend.
    Your skin needs more care as you age. Tanning salons and the sun are two things to avoid in the battle against wrinkles and dry skin. Using sunscreen is an easy way to take care of your face, neck and hands. Apply it every day to help prevent skin damage.
  • 3. Sleep seven hours every night.
    Sleep rejuvenates and heals your body. Seven hours is the absolute minimum for a good night's slumber. Less than seven hours a night can hamper your metabolism and hormone production--similar to the effects of aging.

    4. Keep your body and mind going.
    An excellent way to feel 10 years younger is to keep your body and mind in motion. Eat the right foods, exercise regularly and read books to keep your body, mind and spirit in check.

    5. Let your wardrobe speak for itself.
    Once the body, mind and spirit feel younger, it's time to show it off in the proper clothing. Clothes that fit properly can make anyone look, feel and act years younger.
