1. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL

Alcohol, as we all know, causes dehydration. "Going to bed after a bender without properly treating your face is like tanning in Cozumel for a week without using sunscreen," says one famous starlet known for her work on High School Musical.

Abusing alcohol will, over time, decrease the body's ability to produce collagen and reduces skin's firmness and elasticity, which will cause dry, sagging, wrinkled skin.

2. STAY OUT OF THE SUN

This is just good common sense. But if you cannot avoid it, use a quality high spf sun protectant. "I use spf 50 on my neck and face; however, I do recommend spf 35 on your body. Doing this protects my vulnerable skin, but allows me to develop a nice brownish tan everywhere else," suggests a former Mickey Mouse club member.

3. DON'T DRINK COFFEE

A natural diuretic, coffee causes the body to void needed liquids and amino acids. A "Lord-lovin" country music diva agrees, "Drinking too much coffee stains my teeth, gives me yucky coffee breath, and causes the little wrinkles around my eyes to look so horrible, like big nasty crow's feet."

4. EAT LOTS OF CITRUS AND VEGETABLES

Spinach and other leafy greens contains vast amounts of antioxidants that aid skin health. Citrus like oranges and grapefruit have vitamin C, which boosts the skin's production of collagen. And collagen production is essential to skin elasticity, firmness and prevents the onset of premature wrinkling.

5. DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER

According to a famous hotel-fortune heiress, "If I don't drink at least ten glasses of water everyday I notice that my skin looks dull, vapid, and gray."

6. USE A HIGH QUALITY NIGHT CREAM

This is the most important step you can take to reduce the environment's wear and tear on your face. Choose a night cream that contains proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides. "My night time moisturizer is my saving grace. I use it religiously and know that it is saving my skin. I am 45 and boys approach me at the gym and clubs thinking I'm 25," says a member of Hollywood royalty who judiciously declined to be named.
