1. Say Yes to SPF
"It's the best anti-aging product on the market," says Frank. (If you hadn't heard90% of wrinkles come from the sun.) Slather on a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher every single day to shield skin from damaging UV rays, even in the winter.
2. Exfoliate Twice a Week
Another point for the guys: "Men don't have as many wrinkles around their mouth because we shave there every day, it's a type of cosmetic exfoliation," says Frank. Even if you shave daily, you should still use a scrub (try Baxter of California's Facial Scrub) or a Clarasonic device twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells and even out the skin's surface. If you want to bring out the big guns, a glycolic-acid peel at the dermatologist's office will take off the top layer of skin (yepnot going to feel good) and smooth out fine lines.
3. Use an Eye Cream
"Guys come in and complain not about looking old, but looking tired," says Frank. Pat on an eye cream, like ClarinsMen Anti-Fatigue Eye Serum, to tighten the delicate skin around eyes and reduce dark circles and puffiness. (If you're looking for something to disguise a rough night out, this is it.)
4. Strengthen Skin with a Retinol
As you age, collagen breaks down and causes skin to sag. A retinol like RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream (available at the drugstore) boosts collagen production and cell turnover to firm things up and smooth out fine lines. Apply it only at nighttime (retinols make your skin sensitive to the sun) and start with a pea-sized amount since a little goes a long way.

on edit:
When I was in the Target health and beauty section looking for Retinol and under-eye cream the ladies working there asked me if it was for my wife. Of course I'm gay as a box of birds, so no. I told them hell no, it's for me, look at the circles under my eyes. They got a little laugh out of that. I've been out and proud for so long now I just don't give a shit what people think. I've been known to use a little concealer, sparingly, from time to time too.

(482 posts)1. drink 1-1.5 gallons of water everyday..clears out toxins and really helps clean up the faces complexion..water hydrates the skin and helps get rid of wrinkles..No pop or soda depending on what part of the country you live in.
2. Of course ..eat right..lot's of greens..eat little or no processed foods.No fried foods..
I would say stay out of the sun but it's usually too late for most people..that damage has been done.
