(ARA) - It wasn't so long ago that you were getting ready for your high school prom. Now you're an adult with a family, a career and bills to worry about. Look in the mirror. Is all the stress you're under beginning to show?

Whether you're 25, 35, or older, if your hair has started turning gray, your skin is beginning to sag and you're getting wrinkles on your face, now is the time to do something about it! Ask any dermatologist and they're sure to tell you, "Aging has less to do with how long you've been alive than with your lifestyle."

That's a good thing because lifestyle changes are easy to make. Here's a guideline of some dos and don'ts when it comes to skin care:

* The DOs

Do Drink Plenty of Water.
Drinking plenty of water hydrates your skin, and keeping your skin moist helps plump up skin so wrinkling is less noticeable. The Institute of Medicine recommends women consume 2.2 liters or 9 cups of total beverages a day.

Do Use a Daily Moisturizer.
As we age, skin thins and dries out, making it more apt to become damaged. For best protection, use a moisturizer with sunscreen. To best lock in moisture, apply your moisturizer to damp skin.

Do Use an Eye Cream Daily.
Eyes are very susceptible to aging, particularly since the skin around them is very thin. You can reduce the visible signs of aging with the help of the Dermitage Eye Renewal Collection, which contains a unique system of ingredients that have been clinically studied for their ability to specifically improve the appearance of the delicate skin around the eyes.

The collection includes a Dark Circle Eye Crème which brightens and lightens the under-eye area by reducing dark circles and promoting healthy circulation; The Anti-Wrinkle Eye Serum which firms and tightens skin, and reduces the appearance of crow´s feet and other types of wrinkles and fine lines near the eyes; and The Lash Revitalizer which strengthens and nourishes eyelashes to prevent thinning and breakage. Its unique, transparent formula makes lashes look thicker, fuller and more lush.

A recent study found that 93-percent of women who tried the products in the collection noticed brighter under-eye skin, 92 percent saw less under-eye puffiness, 92 percent had firmer, tighter skin and 91 percent saw a reduction in crow's feet and fine lines.

* The Don'ts

Don't Smoke.
Nicotine squeezes blood vessels and cuts the flow of oxygen to the skin. That's why a smoker's skin becomes wrinkled, especially around the mouth.

Don't Forget Your Neck and Chest.
With less oil glands in the neck and chest, aging signs show up here quickly. Don't ignore them. This area is another place to apply moisturizers with anti-aging ingredients like retinols, copper or vitamin C.

Don't Pull and Rub Your Skin.
Aging skin has been under attack by UV rays, stress and carbon monoxide so don't stress it more by pulling on it.

In addition to following this checklist, other daily rituals that will help keep you looking young include getting regular exercise, eating healthy, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun.
