I have a 35-year-old friend who tells me all the time to enjoy my crow's-feet-free eyes and sunspot-less skin. She waxes poetic about "when she was my age" like she's my grandmother, wistfully telling me stories about a time before she had to spend $300 a month on anti-aging serums and night creams.

Her (very direct) message to me, her 25-year-old friend: "Smarten up, biotch. That perfect skin of yours will go to pot -- and sooner than you think -- if you don't take some preemptive measures."

Of course, she's right. I want to stave off the crow's feet and sun damage as much as the next gal. But I also don't want to shoot myself up with baby Botox now -- or drop an entire paycheck on the newest laser when those first signs of aging do start to appear. I want to age gracefully -- and look like an even hotter version of myself 10 years from now.

Skip ahead to find out how to look hot in 10 years.

And so, my older, wiser (and seriously aggro) friend inspired me to call the best nutritionists, trainers, docs, and estheticians I could find. My question to them: What should women do -- no matter how old they are -- to look hot in 10 years? Of course, "wear sunscreen" was at the top of their lists, as was eating right, drinking enough water, and working out. But since you know all of these look-hot commandments already, I grilled them for even better ones.

So now I'm going to do something that most 20-somethings never do: listen to my elders.
