Step1
Wear sunscreen to prevent premature aging caused by harmful sunrays. Apply sunscreen all round the year. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and eyes. Squinting in bright light causes wrinkles and crows feet on the forehead and around the eyes.

Step2
Reduce smoking cigarettes as it speeds up the aging process. Chronic smokers develop a leathery texture and unhealthy skin color.

Step3
Eat dark-colored fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and aromatic herbs and spices. These food groups rich in antioxidants, fiber and essential fatty acids help regulate blood sugar and metabolism, reduce inflammation and diseases and protect the body against degeneration.

Step4
Cut down on refined sugar as it causes inflammation, which is an element of body's natural defense system to protect against infection and toxins. Consuming inflammatory foods such as sugar disrupts this natural balance leading to weight gain, heart disease and aging.

Step5
Get a good night's sleep to allow the body to relax and repair itself. Include a workout as a part of your daily activities to reduce stress.

Step6
Tweeze your eyebrows in an arch and touch up with a pencil to get the appearance of an instant eyelift. Hydrate your body and moisturize your skin regularly.
