- Eat fish. The omega-3 fatty acids in cold-water fish like wild salmon and sardines as well as in walnuts and olive oil can help reduce the inflammation that promotes aging and wrinkles, says New York registered dietitian Lisa Young. (For more benefits of omega-3s, see pg. 12)
- Sleep on your back. Resting your cheek on your pillow all night can cause wrinkles, says Dr. Katie Rodan, author of Write Your Skin a Prescription for Change.
- Get moving. Exercise boosts your skin's glow by increasing circulation of nutrients to your skin and reducing production of the stress hormone epinephrine.
