[quote=Anonymous]It definitely takes a lot more work to maintain your looks as you get older, especially once you have kids.  For me, this is what I focus on: (1) Maintain a healthy weight for your body, ideally in the “normal” BMI range.  (2) Eat a healthy diet and avoid processed foods and sugar.  (3) Find an exercise routine that you enjoy and that you can do several times a week, consistently. Ideally do something that incorporates weights a few times a week. (4) Stop drinking so much and ideally limit alcohol to only 2-3 drinks on the weekends, if that.   (5) Get as much sleep as humanly possible (at least 7 hours a night).  (6) Wear sunscreen religiously and reapply throughout the day.  (7) invest in a skincare routine that targets fine lines and signs of aging.  (8) Invest in your wardrobe and buy clothing that is flattering to you and that looks current.  (9) Maintain a hairstyle that is flattering to you and that looks neat and healthy at all times.   
Honestly tips 1-6 are the basic underpinnings for maintaining good health, so there is really no reason not to follow them to the best of your ability. 7-9 are more about vanity.  I tell myself that if I maintain my body, get plenty of sleep and take care of my skin, I can get away with wearing less stylish clothing, as long as what I wear is flattering.
