40s: Get an Rx for retinol
"Retinol is the most important anti-aging ingredient you can use," says New York City dermatologist Jeanette Graf, MD. If you've been dabbing on retinol for decades, your skin probably looks fantastic. But if you've held off for whatever reason (like sensitivity or peeling), now's the time. Especially if you're starting to see crow's feet, frown lines, sun damage or any of those other inevitable signs of aging -- get a prescription, and use it regularly.

There are two kinds of bucket lists. One involves smug, self-congratulating posts on Facebook about death-defying, overachieving feats no one really cares about but you. The other is the one we should be plotting out in the hopes that, when we do finally kick the bucket, we look fabulous. Because no one will remember you taught yourself to knit or did a handstand on the Great Wall of China. But they will talk about your 70-year-old skin looking rosy and fresh like a newborn baby's butt.

This is your beauty bucket list -- a guide to the products, treatments and skin care, makeup and hair adventures you simply must try before you die. Yeah, we know. You're welcome.
