"  New year, new you! Our new book, 7 Years Younger: The Revolutionary 7-Week Anti-Aging Plan is available in stores now. We sat down with Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s Beauty Director Nina Judar to get her insider&amp;#039;s take on this proven program: Q: How would you describe/summarize the 7 Years Younger program? A: It&amp;#039;s a holistic anti-aging program, addressing nutrition, fitness, skin care, makeup, hair care, and emotional health. What distinguishes it from other anti-aging programs out there is that the recommendations are all backed by science. Q: How was the beauty portion of the program developed? A: Here&amp;#039;s a great example of the scientific research that went into the book: To determine the best skin care products, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 90 products by recruiting over 800 women, conducting more than 3,000 lab tests, and tallying more than 1,800 questionnaires. You can be confident that the skin care picks here are more than just hope in a jar. To go hand in hand in with our product testing, we also consulted with pros-dermatologists, makeup artists, and hair stylists, across the country and collected their best advice.  Q: What do you think is the number one piece of beauty/anti-aging advice  women should take away from the program? A: Find a skin care routine that&amp;#039;s doable for you and stick to it-every day. I was surprised to learn the majority of our panelists didn&amp;#039;t have a skin care routine-some weren&amp;#039;t even washing their faces when they went to bed at night! After 8 weeks of a simple program (in the a.m.: wash your face and then put on a serum and a moisturizer with SPF. In the p.m.: wash your face and put on an eye cream and night cream), the equipment in our lab registered impressive changes in their skin. One panelist for example had a 35% reduction in dark spots on her face. That little bit of effort every day led to big results.  Q: In putting this program together, what did you learn that surprised you? A: Price isn&amp;#039;t an obstacle to great skin care, makeup, or hair care. We test products at every price point, and find that both budget options and pricey versions perform neck and neck.  Q: What&amp;#039;s the best anti-aging advice YOU&amp;#039;VE ever heard?  A: As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Wear SPF every day (I wear SPF 50) and start using anti-aging skin care (like those with peptides or retinol) in your early 30s at the latest. My favorite trick to instantly open up eyes and lift the face: getting my brows professionally groomed (in New York, I like Sania&amp;#039;s Brow Bar). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
