Secrets To How Celebs Stay Young

by Dr. Grace Angel

1. DO NOT ABUSE 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.

If you abuse grandma's cough syrup you will pay the price. Alcohol impairs your skin's ability to produce collagen and will, in the long run, reduce skin elasticity leading to dry, saggy, wrinkled skin.

2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT

This is just good common sense. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high spf sun protectant. "I use spf 50 on my neck and face; however, I do recommend spf 35 on your body. Doing this protects my vulnerable skin, but allows me to develop a nice brownish tan everywhere else," suggests a former Mickey Mouse club member.

3. AVOID COFFEE

Coffee is a natural diuretic and causes the body to void essential liquids and nutrients. According to a Jesus loving country music star and former caffeine addict, "When I drink coffee, I notice that not only are my teeth stained but I think I actually see the crow's feet around my eyes getting more noticeable."

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. APPLY A NIGHT CREAM WITH PROVEN AGE FIGHTING COMPOUNDS

This is the most important step you can take to reduce the environment's wear and tear on your face. Choose a night cream that contains proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides. "My night time moisturizer is my saving grace. I use it religiously and know that it is saving my skin. I am 45 and boys approach me at the gym and clubs thinking I'm 25," says a member of Hollywood royalty who judiciously declined to be named.
