Skin Problems Solved

Crow's feet, eye bags, frown lines, and liver spots.

You can't turn back the clock, but you can hide the hands a little.

To prevent future damage...
First, always protect your skin with sunscreen (use one with a four-or-more-stars UVA blocker and an SPF 45) and quit cigarettes, say researchers. This will go a long way in giving you smooth and glowing skin.

And here's what they say works for damage that's already done...
Eye bags: These are caused by a collection of fat around the eyes and are usually genetic. But a lack of sleep and too much alcohol can exacerbate the problem -- so sleep well and sip less. Having trouble sleeping six to eight hours a night? Try a deep sleep plan to get your shuteye.

Fine lines: Fine wrinkles caused by frowning can be reduced with glycolic peels used over several months. A moisturizer with glycolic acid is good for your skin.

Liver spots: Fading creams that bleach can soften their color.

Wrinkles, crow's feet, facial lines: Unfortunately, nothing short of a cosmetic procedure is likely to make much difference with deep lines. Medical options include injections of fat, collagen, and Botox.
