Simplify Your Beauty Routine

Day 1: Younger Looking Skin routine

Welcome to the first day of your 9-day skin renewal plan! Start by establishing a simple beauty routine -- and a beauty-sleep routine. Here's how:

Pare Down Your Beauty Products: Over treating your skin with multiple products is one of the most common problems dermatologists Amy Wechsler sees, so narrow your collection down to a few select items. Dr. Amy's must-haves:

One gentle everyday facial cleanser
Two good moisturizers -- one with sunscreen for day, and another for night
An exfoliant to use two or three times a week

Simplify Your Skin Routine: In the morning, wash your face with your hands -- they're naturally thorough, but gentle. Apply your daytime moisturizer to still-damp skin; let it soak in before applying makeup.

Repeat at night, but spend a minute longer washing your face to be sure you remove all makeup, dirt, and residue from the day. Then, apply your nighttime moisturizer.

That's your new skin routine. It's that simple.

Get Ready for Beauty Sleep: Start by asking yourself: How many hours of sleep do I need to feel really refreshed? If the answer is 8, and you normally get up at 6 a.m., you should be in bed by 10 p.m. That means you need to call it a day by 9 p.m. to give yourself an hour to wind down and wash up.

Soothe Stressed Skin

Day 2: Stress relief for younger looking skin

Relaxing never seems to make it onto the to-do list. But today, relaxing is your to-do list. Stressed skin looks stressed, so keep your psyche and your skin healthy, calm, and clear with these stress-relief tips:

Start Breathing

Try these breathing exercises. Then, pick the one you like best, and do it at least twice a day for the next 8 days, preferably at around the same time each day. This will help establish a breathing routine that calms you, refocuses your energy, and changes your body chemistry to support well-being from the inside out. So long, stressed skin.

Relax and Unwind

Here are some ideas to help you destress:

Connect with friends. Pick up the phone and call someone who can make you laugh, take a load off your stress level, and help you put things into perspective. Later in the week, you'll have dinner with friends, so maybe call someone you want to invite.
Book a massage. If you can get in for a spa treatment today, great! If not, you have something nice to look forward to.

Go Green for Great Skin

Day 3: Green tips for younger looking skin

Green is beautiful. So today, start nurturing the green goddess in you with these green tips for naturally glowing skin:

Drink Green Tea: Green tea keeps you hydrated, as does water, but here's the difference: Tea is brimming with good-for-you flavonoids. So fill a big thermos with green tea in the morning, and sip it all day -- hot at first, over ice later, if you like. Start today, and continue drinking green tea every day for the rest of the week.

Green tea's for a lot more than your skin -- see for yourself.

Go Outside, Take In Nature: Spend at least 20 minutes outside today -- and over the next 6 days -- soaking in some "vitamin G" (for green). Mother Nature can be extremely therapeutic, and the fresh air will do you -- and your skin -- a world of good. Walk this way to chase away stress.

And remember to keep doing the activities from Day 1 and Day 2 – relax and simplify.

Eat Foods That Are Good for Your Skin

Day 4: Best foods for younger looking skin

Avoid Food That's Bad for Your Skin: Focus on eating as cleanly as possible today. Avoid fast food, fried food, and anything processed. That includes refined sugar, soda (diet and regular), and processed meats and cheeses. Why? They keep your body and your skin off balance.

Instead, eat foods that are good for your skin. Here's a quick list of foods for healthy skin:

Oranges
Cantaloupe
Tomatoes
Leafy greens
Salmon
Tuna

Curb Cravings: To curb cravings and make sure you're eating only the best foods for your skin, drink water or tea throughout the day. Mix it up with sparkling water, a splash of natural (no sugar added) cranberry juice (rich in antioxidants), or a wedge of lemon, lime, cucumber, or melon.

Keep going green, relaxing and simplifying.

Reap the Benefits of Physical Activity

Day 5: Be active for younger looking skin

Get Moving for Better Skin, Better Sleep: Do at least 30 minutes of physical activity today, and schedule some time for a few more active half hours over the next few days. Whether it's taking a class at your gym, going for a power walk with friends, taking a bike ride, or playing Frisbee in the park -- there are lots of options for doing your body good. Choose something you enjoy. There's no point in being miserable.

Remember to eat well, go green, relax and simplfy.

Have Fun with Friends

Day 6: Quality time for younger looking skin

Spend Quality Time with Friends or Family: Spend time today with people you care about. If you love to cook, invite them over for a scrumptious meal. If you don't want to cook, go out. The point is to get together with people who are meaningful in your life -- who make you laugh or inspire you -- and share stories and time. Put together the perfect dinner-party menu with healthy recipes from the RealAge Recipe Finder.

Extend the Evening for Extra Value: If you and your dinner mates live close to one another, invite them back to your place for dessert or an after-dinner drink. If it's winter, light up the fire; if it's summer, sit outside in candlelight (for more vitamin G). Just make sure you're not up past your bedtime.

Keep moving your body, eating right, going green, relaxing and simplifying.

Focus on Your Inner Beauty

Day 7: Be positive for younger looking skin

Today is all about inner beauty. Use these inside-out beauty tips to get the radiant glow that comes with inner peace:

Focus on the Positive: Try this tonight: Make a gratitude list for the day. Write down three great things that happened during your day. They don’t have to be out of this world. They can be as simple as the fact that you ate well all day, or that you hit a big deadline at work, or that the sky at sunset was beautiful. Just three good things, simple as that.

Meditate Stress Away: Stress takes its toll on your skin, your hair, and your natural good looks, so make sure to keep stress well under control. Meditation is a great way to work through stress, calm your mind, and keep your brain functioning at its peak. In the hour before your bedtime tonight, Try this simple meditation.

Continue to foster friendship, move your body, eat right, go green, relax and simplify.

Get Enough Beauty Sleep

Day 8: Sleep more for younger looking skin

Get More Beauty Sleep: If you don't have any early obligations today, sleep in as long as you like. If you have to get up early, take a nap later in the afternoon. The ideal time for a nap is about 8 hours after you get up -- that's when your body temperature naturally takes a little dip (a sleep inducer); it's part of your normal biological rhythm. So give in, and experience the beauty benefits of a little power nap.

How to Power Nap

Take off your shoes, and get comfy on a reclining chair, couch, or bed. Close the blinds, or turn away from any direct sunlight.
Set an alarm for 30 minutes. That gives you 10 to fall asleep and 20 for your actual nap.
Avoid napping after 3 p.m. -- it can disrupt your nighttime sleep.

Here's a great reason to get more sleep
Keep focusing on your inner beauty, fostering friendship, moving your body, eating right, going green, relaxing and simplifying.

Day 9: Younger Looking Skin plan

Reflect on Your Journey: This is the final day of the Younger Looking Skin plan! Think about how the last 9 days have been for you. What's gone well? Do you feel physically and emotionally different than you did last weekend? What helped you most? Was it getting more sleep, connecting with friends, having more sex, or learning to meditate?

Take Two Just for You: Pick the stress buster that you've liked doing best -- meditating, breathing, making love, having a worry session, whatever -- and do it twice today.

And don't forget to get your beauty sleep, be positive, foster friendship, move your body, eat right, go green, relax and simplify.
