1. AVOID EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL

It’s common knowledge that alcohol causes dehydration. “If you don’t take care of your skin before bedtime after drinking all night, you might as well go on a beach vacation for a week without sunscreen. You are totally damaging your skin if drink and fail to treat,” says one High School Musical starlet.

Abusing alcohol will, over time, decrease the body’s ability to produce collagen and reduces skin’s firmness and elasticity, which will cause dry, sagging, wrinkled skin.

2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT

This one is essential and simple. However, if you must venture into the light use a high powered, high quality sun block. “On my face and neck I use spf 45 and on the rest of my body I use spf. That way I’m protected but I can still get a nice tan,” says a famous former Mickey Mouse Club diva.

3. DON’T DRINK COFFEE

A natural diuretic, coffee causes the body to void needed liquids and amino acids. A “Lord-lovin” country music diva agrees, “Drinking too much coffee stains my teeth, gives me yucky coffee breath, and causes the little wrinkles around my eyes to look so horrible, like big nasty crow’s feet.”

4. CITRUS AND VEGETABLES ARE YOUR FRIENDS

Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain antioxidants essential to skin health. Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits contain vitamin C, which boosts the skin’s collagen production increasing skin elasticity and firmness.

5. DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER

“Drinking water is one the most important things you can do for your skin. I drink ten glasses religiously now. Years ago, when I didn’t I noticed my skin would dry out, become gray and dull, and look vapid.”

6. USE A HIGH QUALITY NIGHT CREAM

A night cream is the most important step of your beauty routine. Night cream with proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides will help reduce the environment’s and nature’s effect on your skin. “Using a night cream has helped me preserve my youth. Young boys always approach me at the gym and at clubs thinking I am some 25 year old starlet. I guess they haven’t seen my films from the early 1980s and wouldn’t guess I’m 45,” laughs a member of Hollywood royalty who wisely decided to comment anonymously.
