"25 Easy Ways to Look Younger Now\\nThe simplest, fastest, and most effective ways to take off years&amp;#8212;in an instant.\\nThree words: Wear less makeup.\\nWe like [Clean &amp; Clear Morning Burst In-Shower Facial](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/clean-clear-morning-burst-shower-facial) with its gentle round beads.\\nWhiten yours with strips that show results quickly, like [Crest 3D White Professional Effects Whitestrips.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/crest-3d-whitestrips-professional-effects)\\n\\\"Full, side-swept bangs hide wrinkles and instantly update your style,\\\" says hairstylist Mark Townsend. (OK, don't do it yourself, but ask your stylist to.)\\nGet a pedicure at least once a month, year-round. Or simply exfoliate weekly with a product like [Freeman Bare Foot Creamy Pumice Foot Scrub Peppermint &amp; Plum.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/freeman-bare-foot-pumice-scrub)\\nThey brighten your complexion, and even blonde hair looks more sprightly with a blend of dark and light shades.\\nOne we love: __Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes liner in 3L.__ The color \\\"will brighten the whites of your eyes, which tend to yellow as you age,\\\" says ophthalmologist Marguerite McDonald.\\nWomen who wear them are perceived to be ten years younger. Seriously. We like __Jo Malone Grapefruit Cologne.__\\n\\\"The side that you part your hair on sees the sun the most; this can make it get gray faster,\\\" says dermatologist Jeannette Graf. (A change will also give your hair some volume.) Protecting all your hair from UV light with a product like [Rene Furterer Protective Summer Fluid](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/rene-furterer-protective-summer-fluid) spray will help preserve color.\\nPrimers and serums with the ingredient temporarily fill in fine lines. We like [Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/revlon-beyond-natural-smoothing-primer)\\n\\\"Optimists tend to look better as they age,\\\" says Christopher Peterson, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and author of *A Primer in Positive Psychology* (Oxford University Press).\\nWe love __Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation.__\\nA great curler, like [Tweezerman ProCurl Curler,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/tweezerman-procurl-lash-curler) will really open up your eyes. Clamp it at your lash line, then gradually pump it along the length of your lashes.\\n\\\"A few drops of jojoba or rose-hip oil\u2014the kind from the health-food store\u2014will temporarily plump fine lines,\\\" says facialist Julia March.\\nBrush on a lengthening formula, and before it dries, follow with two coats of thickening mascara. The best ones are [Cover Girl LashBlast Length Mascara](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/cover-girl-lashblast-length-mascara-brown) (for lengthening) and [Maybelline New York The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/maybelline-colossal-volum-express-mascara) (for thickening).\\nResearchers have found that doing so makes your hands look younger.\\nHair that's pulled back tightly draws attention to every line on your face.\\nFormulas with panthenol, like __Pantene Pro-V Volume Mousse,__ bulk up fine hair without weighing it down.\\nToo much eye makeup is aging\u2014but so is none. Choose neutral colors like bronze, copper, and cocoa that aren't overly matte (a light sheen adds radiance). [CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/covergirl-smoky-shadowblast-bronze-fire) includes two pretty shades.\\nYou'll reduce dark circles, perk up sallow skin, and improve your mood. \\\"People who claim they can get by on five hours of sleep a night age more quickly than if they were getting eight or nine hours,\\\" says neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta.\\nA halo of silver around the hairline will make your skin look dull. Dab a temporary liquid color made for this purpose, such as [ColorMark Temporary Liquid Hair Color wand,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2011/colormark-temporary-hair-color) on gray strands\u2014it dries in just a minute.\\nLight, shiny colors, such as [CoverGirl WetSlicks AmazeMint in Pink Positive,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/covergirl-wetslicks-amazemint-lipgloss-pink-positive) make lips look fuller.\\nDoing it three times a week makes women look up to ten years younger. (A Royal Edinburgh Hospital study proved it.)\\nProducts such as [Fekkai Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/fekkai-apple-cider-clarifying-shampoo) will remove dulling buildup and add shine.\\nMakeup artist Dick Page swears that it looks more like real hair than pencil or powder does.
