Charla Krupp  &amp;quot;Look younger with little effort&amp;quot; is the mantra of this style expert and New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Look Old. My daily skincare routine isn&amp;#039;t complete without\u2026 swiping on a rejuvenating facial serum like Boots No7 Protect &amp;amp;amp; Perfect Intense Beauty Serum ($23; Target.com). I take comfort in knowing there&amp;#039;s a layer of product fighting deep lines and wrinkles every day. Once a week, I\u2026 apply a moisturizing facial mask to keep my skin glowing.

If I could go back 20 years, I&amp;#039;d tell myself\u2026 never to sit out in the sun with a reflector. Most weekends I\u2026 escape from NYC to my beach house with my husband to relax. I also love to take spinning classes to get my body moving. My favorite place to shop for makeup\u2026 Sephora. It&amp;#039;s like a candy store for women. Every night, I\u2026 apply foot cream and cover my feet with a pair of cotton socks. I wake up every day with soft, crack-free heels. My beauty idol\u2026 Christie Brinkley.

You don&amp;#039;t need to spend a lot of money to subtract years off your look. When you&amp;#039;re fighting the war on aging, it&amp;#039;s all about maintenance. To cut down costs\u2026 I wash delicate clothes with Tide Total Care ($6.99; at drugstores). My dry-cleaning bill is a lot lower these days. Most days I wear\u2026 a dress. Step in and zip up\u2014a dress takes the guesswork out of getting ready in the morning. Plus, the older we get, the harder it becomes to whittle our middles. Dresses are so forgiving, which makes them a simple solution to a common problem. Wear one in a youthful, bright color like cobalt blue or yellow.

($39.97; at Walmart) 2. Keep lips moisturized. Apply a balm with sunscreen to protect your lips from the sun&amp;#039;s harmful rays and to prevent them from looking dry or cracked. 3. Create a youthful glow. Switching from powder to cream blush is a simple way to freshen up your look. The creamy texture settles beautifully on skin. 4. Wear bangs. This is an easy way to hide wrinkles and fine lines along your forehead. Try a side-swept version to help frame your face too. Never wear short, cropped bangs\u2014leave that style for little girls! 5. Give eyes a lift. Stay away from wire-frame lenses (especially the ones you find in the drugstore). Instead, try wearing plastic frames that rise up at the ends or thicken at the corners of your eyes. They&amp;#039;ll give your eyes and face an upward boost.
