🧐25 Genius Hacks for How to Look Younger

Just before you walk into the boardroom, take 10 minutes for a quick warmup. Relax. Drop a few golf balls into a gym sock and place it on the floor. Take your shoes off and roll the balls around with the bottom of your feet. Each of your feet contains more than 7,000 nerve endings. Stimulating them can trigger the release of endorphins, which reduces anxiety, says Kevin Kunz, co-author of Reflexology: Healing at Your Fingertips.

20. Choose your liquids carefully.

Drink lemon water. Avoid caffeine, says Grant-Williams, it will dry your throat. Instead swig from a glass of cool water with a bit of lemon. It’ll help your voice to sound deeper, richer, and more commanding. Just like it did when you were 25. Red wine also boasts fantastic benefits—the stuff is chockfull of resveratrol, an antioxidant known to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

When it comes to wanting to look younger, sunscreen is key (no matter what skin tone you’re working with). Not only will this protection prevent wrinkles and other signs of skin aging, but it might just save your life. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, using broad-spectrum sunscreen every day can reduce your risk of developing certain kinds of skin cancer by up to 40 percent.

Other signs of sun-damaged skin include freckles, liver spots, and uneven pigmentation. Lotioning up rain or shine may seem excessive (yes, the sun’s rays can hit you even when it’s cloudy), but believe us when we tell you it’s worth it. It’s easy, non-invasive, and a whole lot cheaper than laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels.
