Look younger

A recent study suggests that woman's hands look younger when she wears rings and nail polish. Also many women forget that their hands often show their age before their face does. So try the following.

• Apply sunscreen to your hands every day. Remember that when you're outside during the day your hands are constantly exposed to the sun (unless you're wearing gloves). So be sure to use a sun block with SPF of at least 15.

• As for the nail polish, avoid colors like dark blue, deep burgundy or taupe, which can make your hands look older. In a recent Allure magazine article they suggest, "Picking a color that will make your hands look younger, such as bright reds which look great on short, rounded nails, but make sure to choose an orange-y red and not a bluish red (the blue makes veins in your hands look worse)." They say you can't go wrong with a low-key, soft pink. We like Princess Charming - Your Royal Shyness (a shy beige-pink with royal presence.)
