With all of the makeover shows on television, new anti-aging cosmetics, and general obsession with staying young looking, it's no surprise that people are willing to spend small fortunes on products and procedures to look and feel younger.

How Men Can Look Younger

Here are ten easy and inexpensive ways to take years off of your appearance and keep it that way.

You can use over-the-counter tooth whiteners, which have become popular, or ask your dentist to help you out with professional grade options. Either way, everyone likes a brilliant smile.

Moisturize

Dry skin looks dull and lackluster. So not only do you want to use a moisturizer on your face (including an eye cream) but also on your hands and body. And since your hands especially get a lot of abuse, and can show age almost more than your face, keep some hand cream handy at your desk or by the sink. 

Always Use Sunscreen

We all know that the sun is the single most damaging thing to your skin, so make sure to protect yourself. 

Maintain Your Brows

Wear Color

Adding a pop of color to your wardrobe helps you exude a youthful vitality. Make a point to wear color that complements your skin and eye color.
