When we reach middle age, many of us go into panic mode. We want to look younger than our years without giving in to cosmetic surgery or painful injections.There are things that we can do that will help slow down the aging process and improve our quality of life.

Here are the top 10 anti aging tips to look and feel younger.

#1
Lifestyle
If you smoke, stop! If you drink alcohol, do it in moderation. Research shows that smoking is even more responsible for aging the skin than overexposure to the sun. Facial wrinkles and "smoker's mouth" are common when you smoke. Drinking in excess will show in your face's appearance as well. Although there is proof that a glass of red wine a day is good for you, drinking more than that is not!

#2
Sleep
Sleep rejuvenates your body and it's when your skin restores and renews itself. When you do not get a good night's sleep your eyes are puffy, your skin sallow and dull and your face sags. But how much sleep is enough? Generally, around 7 or 8 hours is what most people finds works best.

#3
Eat Healthy and Take a Multivitamin
Eat a well-balanced diet, choose foods high in fiber, and drink eight glasses of water a day. Vitamins are not a substitute for healthy eating but studies show that taking a vitamin with antioxidants benefits the skin. Your eating habits also will affect your skin's appearance. Fruits and vegetables have powerful antioxidants that can actually slow down the aging process. Plus the vitamins and minerals keep your immune system strong enough to fight disease and stay healthier.

#4
Hair
A good hair style can literally take years off your appearance. Contrary to what many people think, longer hair as you get older does not make you look younger. It can actually add years to your appearance. If you can't remember the last time you changed your hairstyle, it's time!

#5
Posture
Stand up straight! Think about the sexy women that you know - they have something in common. They stand up straight and confidently. Good posture can make you look 10 years younger and lighter too.

#6
Smile
Having nice teeth can do plenty to improve your youthful appearance. A bright smile makes your entire face look younger and vibrant. Good dental hygiene is also important for your health. Problems with your gums and teeth can also have an adverse effect on other organs in your body so it's important to visit the dentist ever y 6 months and follow the dentist's recommendations on keeping your gums and teeth healthy.

#7
Skin Appearance
MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE!! The skin loses moisture and collagen as we get older. Stick to a good skin care regime, morning and night, every day. It's very possible to look younger than your years with the right skin care products.

#8
Makeup
As we age, some of us tend to use too much makeup to hide our aging skin. Don't overdo it with the makeup! It makes you look older, not younger. Using a facial foundation primer before applying makeup can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Use a makeup mirror for flawless application and vivid details!

#9
Sun Exposure
The sun is the #1 reason for prematurely aging skin. It's never too late to start using sun protection. Take preventive measures to protect your skin by limiting sun exposure, using sunscreen, hats and protective clothing, and avoiding sun beds and tanning salons.

#10
Attitude
Your attitude has so much to do with your appearance! Positive attitude is reflected in your posture and the way you carry yourself. A positive attitude will help you look and feel younger!

Follow these anti aging tips and you will be healthier and look younger than your years.
