As with and beauty regimen, however, it's important to note that it's not enough to pinpoint one area. If you truly want to look and feel better, an entire overhaul may be in order. That means more exercise, better nutrition, staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and reducing stress.

Healthy, youthful-looking skin is like anything else worth keeping - knowledge and regular maintenance is required. If you never provided preventative care for your car, how long would it continue to run? If you never watered your garden or fed your pet, how long would your roses and your little critters live? Your skin is no different. Left to the natural process of aging, your skin is heading down a road that will end up with you looking more like Keith Richards than Dorian Grey.
