You don’t need a pricey cream or a trip to the dermatologist to make you look younger. It can be as simple as just making a few quick changes. Here’s how.

Hydrate: When you are dehydrated, lines are enhanced and your skin looks dull. Drinking at least eight glasses of water a day should be your target. If you need to be reminded to hydrate, try an app like Waterlogged, which will ping you when it’s time drink up.

Moisturize: To plump skin and fill in fine lines, try layering moisturizers. Start with a serum, then pat a moisturizer on top. For extra-dewy skin, finish with a facial oil.

Brighten up: Under-eye circles add years to your face. Cover them up by using a corrector to neutralize and counteract any discoloration. Concealer will cover up darkness and brighten up your eye area to give you an instant lift.

Lighten up: As you age, most women need less coverage. Swap foundation for a tinted moisturizer that gives an extra boost of hydration and lets your skin show through.

Gloss: Did you know your hair ages too, becoming dryer and losing its luster? A gloss will condition and add shine to your hair. Apply every three to four weeks either at the salon or with an at-home treatment.

Whiten teeth: Over time, your teeth can yellow or turn gray. At home whitening kits make it easy to remove stains and take years off.

Wear skinny jeans: Jeans are cool at any age, no matter what size you are. My favorites are Rag & Bone and AG.

Update your shoes: There is something about a pair of slip on sneakers with a thick heel (my favorites are Ash & Opening Ceremony) that updates everything from black pants to jeans.

Wear short, dark nails: French manicures or long red nails look dated. What’s fresh right now are short, dark nails in unconventional colors.
