Erase 11 Years From Head to Toe

You want to look younger

If you want to look younger than you are, it helps to consider the total package. Because women who look forever 31 don't just have great complexions, they also have, "thick hair, smooth hands... even a whiter smile," says New York City dermatologist Marsha Gordon, MD. So, how do you become one of those lucky types who goes to her class reunion and elicits comments like, "Wow, she hasn't aged a bit!"? Follow these age-proofing tips that start with your head (well, your hair) and end with your toes (even they can date you, believe it or not).

Give your hair a boost

Hair naturally thins as you get older, so anything you can do to counteract that process will help you stay gorgeous. Volumizing shampoos are great, but the most effective (and quickest) youth boost comes courtesy of a volumizing spray gel, like Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Spray Gel Root Lifter ($5; walgreens.com). "These sprays are like a collagen injection for your hair," says Jet Rhys, owner of Jet Rhys Salon in San Diego. The key, Rhys notes, is not to spray it all over your crown but to get it onto the underside of your hair, near the roots.
