1. DO NOT ABUSE ALCOHOL



Alcohol, as we all know, causes dehydration. "Going to bed after a bender without properly treating your face is like tanning in Cozumel for a week without using sunscreen," says one famous starlet known for her work on High School Musical.

Liberal use and abuse of grandpa's cough medicine decreases the body's ability to produce collagen and over time reduces skin's elasticity leading to wrinkles and dry, sagging skin.

2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT

This one is a no-brainer, but if you must hit the beach use a high powered sun-block. "SPF 50 on my face and neck is a must and spf 35 on my body let's me get a nice brownish tan," suggests a former Mickey Mouse club alumna.

3.DON'T DRINK COFFEE

Caffeine is nature's diuretic and coffee contains it in spades. It causes the body to get rid of necessary liquids and nutrients. Jesus-lovin' Country music singers agree, "When I drink too much coffee, my teeth become noticeable stained and I can swear that the slight wrinkles around my eyes start developing into crow's feet."

4. EAT LOTS OF CITRUS AND VEGETABLES

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

"I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day, and really notice that my skin looks dull, gray, and vapid when I don't," says a certain hotel-fortune heiress.

6. USE A NIGHT TIME MOISTURIZER THAT CONTAINS RETINOL, VITAMIN C, & PEPTIDES

A night time moisturizer is the most important step of your beauty routine. A 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 time moisturizer 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.
