  • Sure getting all wrinkly and saggy sucks, but lots of us would prefer less drastic (and expensive) "anti-aging" measures than some of what's being offered up at your dermatologist's office. (These makeup tips, for instance, can erase 10 years!) That's why we consulted with experts to come up with 10 Anti-Aging Strategies that can be incorporated into your daily routine and done in the comfort of your own home -- sans a trip to the doc.

  • Tip 1: Start your day with sunscreen and antioxidants

  • You'd be hard pressed to find a pro that didn't place this atop their "must do" list. The sun is NOT our friend. Its UV rays do bad things to our skin. Wearing sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection is imperative.

  • See which brand to use and learn why the Director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at NYC's Mount Sinai Medical Care Center suggests antioxidants too.

  • Tip 2: Don't smoke

  • In addition to being a nasty, incredibly expensive habit that will kill you (sorry, it's harsh, but true), smoking will also make you ugly by wreaking havoc on your skin. Get the gruesome details …

  • Tip 3: Exfoliate regularly

  • While everyone should exfoliate to slough off dead skin cells and help rev up aging skin's ability to regenerate itself, how you should exfoliate depends on your skin type. If your skin isn't sensitive you can use a physical scrub but, if your skin reacts badly to aggressive treatments, opt for a chemical exfoliant instead. See which one we recommend.

  • Then check out this list of best and worst at-home peels.

  • Tip 4: Get hip to advances in anti-aging technology

  • When it comes to aging we can all be grateful that we're not Laura Ingalls. Thanks to technology, there are lots of ways we can keep father time's icky hands off our faces, we just need to know what's out there. There's a new product called Aveeno Ageless Vitality Elasticity Recharging System – Day SPF 3 that revealed impressive results to 100 percent of the women who tried it over a four-week period.

  • Learn more about what it does and what results you could expect.

    • I really do want to find some good green and healthy products for my skin! I have found a few that I love and want to buy but just have not had the money. I take care of my skin by using olive oil for my moisturizer since I know it is healthy and I take my daily Vidazorb OPC age defense. My most important concern though is just being healthy and this goes into my decision for what skin care I use.
