Worst: Mel Gibson
Gibson is no spring chicken, but other celebs his age (like Tom Hanks) seem to have a smoother skin texture and a brighter complexion. Waldorf attributes sun damage as the cause for Gibson's deep-set wrinkles and leather-like texture. "Improvement would take resurfacing (like several sessions of Fraxel), filler (like Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse) and sun protection," Waldorf says. Have questions about fillers? Get answers here. And don't forget to use a UVA and UVB blocking sunscreen everyday (try Avon ANEW Advanced All-In-One MAX SPF 15 UVA/UVB Lotion, $16.50).

Best: Liv Tyler
Tyler's smooth, clear and acne scar-free face is likely due to a combination of "good genes and great sun protection," Bank says. Though she may have help from Botox, it seems Tyler's been doing all of the right things for her skin (not smoking, sunbathing, picking at her skin or extreme weight change — all of the things Waldorf says can prevent damage to skin). Make sure you don't commit these seven skin sins either, as they can wreak havoc on your face.

Worst: Teri Hatcher
The flat, stiff smile Hatcher is sporting here suggests she may have had too much Botox, Waldorf says. And her large pores and sunken eyes are possible signs that Hatcher is stressed and lacks sleep. "And being too thin can create or exasperate many of these problems," Bank says. He recommends maintaining a healthy diet and body weight and making use of fillers and treatments like Fraxel and Thermage to tighten and tone the skin. If those options seem extreme, at the very least, use products containing peptides and retinol to help build collagen and smooth lines (try Rodan + Fields Anti-Age Night Renewing Serum, $89.)
