1. DO NOT ABUSE ALCOHOL

Alcohol despite its bubbly pleasures causes dehydration and skin damage. "You may as well spend a week at the beach in the sun without sunscreen if you go to sleep after a drinking bender without properly protecting your skin," suggests a High School Musical diva.

If you abuse grandma's cough syrup you will pay the price. Alcohol impairs your skin's ability to produce collagen and will, in the long run, reduce skin elasticity leading to dry, saggy, wrinkled skin.

2. DO NOT EXPOSE UNPROTECTED SKIN TO SUNLIGHT

This one is essential and simple. However, if you must venture into the light use a high powered, high quality sun block. "On my face and neck I use spf 45 and on the rest of my body I use spf. That way I'm protected but I can still get a nice tan," says a famous former Mickey Mouse Club diva.

3. DON'T DRINK COFFEE

Coffee is a natural diuretic and causes the body to void essential liquids and nutrients. According to a Jesus loving country music star and former caffeine addict, "When I drink coffee, I notice that not only are my teeth stained but I think I actually see the crow's feet around my eyes getting more noticeable."

4. EAT PLENTY OF VEGETABLES & CITRUS

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

"I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day, and really notice that my skin looks dull, gray, and vapid when I don't," says a certain hotel-fortune heiress.

6. APPLY A NIGHT CREAM WITH PROVEN AGE FIGHTING COMPOUNDS

A night cream is the most important step of your beauty routine. Night cream with proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides will help reduce the environment's and nature's effect on your skin. "Using a night cream has helped me preserve my youth. Young boys always approach me at the gym and at clubs thinking I am some 25 year old starlet. I guess they haven't seen my films from the early 1980s and wouldn't guess I'm 45," laughs a member of Hollywood royalty who wisely decided to comment anonymously.
