Most of us realize we can’t look like we are 30 when we are in our 60s. Sure, celebrities can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, with mixed results. For most of us, there are some things we can try. Some may work, and some may not. With that in mind, here are some tips for looking. or at least seeming younger.

1: Smile a lot.

A study indicated that faces look younger when smiling. Keep in mind this only works if you remember to put your dentures in. Without your dentures, you’ll look old and senile if you walk around smiling all the time.

2: Hide your problem areas.

No, don’t put a bag on your head. But if you have neck issues, wear a scarf. You say you’re in the desert? Hey, work with me here. Do you want to look younger or not?

3: Consider a short, stylish haircut.

If you’re a female, consider a pixie cut. If you’re a male, the Moe Howard cut may take you back in time. By about 80 years.

4: Get your beauty sleep.

Depending on your current situation, a beauty coma may be in order.

5: It’s ok to go gray.
