1. Looking younger starts the night before.
Yes, you hear it all the time. Get a good night's sleep. Here's one way that might help you achieve that. Spray your pillow with a light lavender scent. Lavender has been proven to relax and soothe anxiety.
2. Once a week, give your complexion a good steaming.
Pour boiling water over a couple of herbal tea bags and steep a couple of minutes. Then with a towel over your head to create a "tent" lower your face to within a few inches of the steaming tea for five minutes.
3. Hands reveal a woman's age more than anything.
Mix up an exfoliant paste of sea salt and olive oil. Once a day, plop a spoonful of the mixture into your palms and massage onto hands and forearms. Massage a few minutes then remove with a warm cloth.
4. Skin dries out as we age. Be sure to hydrate yours with enough water.

Drink at least 8 glasses of good, filtered water every day.
5. Don't resign yourself to dry, brittle nails. Once a day, soak your fingernails in a couple of spoonfuls of olive oil. Save the oil in a covered container to reuse.

6. When you buy hand lotion, be sure to get a product with ceramides and hyaluronic acid. According to dermatologists, those two ingredients actually can change skin moisture if used consistently.
The one I use is CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin with Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides. It's a 19 ounce bottle, and it's fragrance free.
Takeaway Truth
Although genetics and environment play a huge role in how one looks after a few decades, there really is a lot a woman can do to improve upon what God gave her—or didn't give her. Try these and let me know if one or more makes a difference.
