22. Go easy on the foundation.

It makes sense to lean on makeup when trying to disguise dark circles and improve the overall appearance of aging skin, but too much of it can create the opposite effect. Foundations, in particular, are known for drying skin out, which actually accentuates pores and highlights fine lines and wrinkles. If you’re not ready to cut it out of your routine, stick to creams over powders and make room in the purse for a hydrating mist.

23. Start incorporating facial massages into your routine.

Facial massage may sound like a new concept, but people have been performing them for centuries. Though there are different techniques, they all revolve around manipulating and rubbing the skin to stimulate circulation. In doing so, practitioners can improve elasticity, decrease muscle tension, stimulate the lymphatic system, and even achieve a temporary “lift.”

24. Don’t forget to take care of your teeth.

Nothing says “I’m aging” quite like stained teeth. As we grow older, tooth enamel gets thinner, leaving our teeth more vulnerable to discoloration. Maintaining your pearly whites is one way to disguise this ugly reality of aging.

25. Embrace your gray hair.

Yes, going gray is an indication of age—but hiding it through hair dyes and other treatments doesn’t always help you look younger. Some stylists say they would rather see their clients rock a healthy head full of gray hair than allow their roots to start showing anytime upkeep becomes an issue.
