And the winner is… #44 Stephanie who wrote, "Even though I'm 26, I've been using SPF moisturizer since I was a kid, it really helps preventing age spots (I have natural freckles, even though I'm asian), in addition, when I'm older, I know that I'll be thankful that my mom instilled this habit at such a young age. While I know the sun can be bad, a nice glow every once in awhile (whether it's a quick walk at the beach or from a bottle), helps me feel younger and refreshed. But the 3 keys would have to be: SPF moisturizer, water, and a sleep!"

Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put on some sunscreen and drink a big glass of water.

As I already need this, Im eating well and have started exercising.

#1 Lin DiRenzo on 2009-06-09 06:56

I use sunscreen everywhere.
Exercise daily and try to eat clean.
I love trying new products with anti aging benefits!!

#1.1 Diane S on 2009-06-09 10:01

Yeah for contests!

#2 Janna on 2009-06-09 07:33

I feel like I'm still a kid, even though I'm 38! I spend time with my nieces and nephews just being silly. I have a grateful journal and I look for the positive. I also seem to naturally shy away from things that are bad for me. When everyone else was lying out on silver mats with baby oil frying in the sun, I was inside reading a good book. I don't like red meat, I love my fruits and veggies, and I love to run. I only discovered running in the past few years--finally, I LOVE exercise! It may seem impossible sometimes, but keep searching and trying new workouts and activities and you'll find something you love, too! I think exercise is truly the key to staying young!

Thanks so much for the giveaway

I love your blog!

#3 charleney_2k on 2009-06-09 07:38

Similar to the other commenters, I attempt to stay 'young' by exercising and good eating habits. Also, I go through a LOT of water during the day at work to keep myself hydrated!

#4 Alicia on 2009-06-09 07:47

I have definitely started to try and enjoy exercising so that I do it more often, taking hikes, bike riding, and fun classes.

#5 Lindsay on 2009-06-09 08:09

I make sure to always wear moisturizer with SPF, and reapply sunscreen often throughout the day!

#6 Jennifer on 2009-06-09 08:27

I exercise daily and drink a lot of water.

#7 Sirry on 2009-06-09 08:42

I exercise and eat well every day! I try to stay stress free and happy, sleep well every night, keep SPF on my face and body, and just live, laugh, and have fun =)

#8 Amanda on 2009-06-09 08:57

To keep my skin healthy I wear sunscreen everyday, whether I am just going to work or exercising outside on my bike! I also keep an aluminum water bottle at my desk that I try to refill three times a day.

#9 Kellie on 2009-06-09 09:01

I've had skin problems since I was a teen. I find that now that I am 28, the little things I did when I was younger (drinking lots of water, not drinking, not smoking, wearing sunscreen, etc...) have helped tremendously. It's best to treat your skin as you would treat anything else--with a little TLC. You will reap the benefits in the long run.

#10 Victoria on 2009-06-09 09:41

#11 Jennifer C on 2009-06-09 09:50

...lots of preventative botox.....JUST KIDDING!...lol....I figured I'd start with a different response than the rest

Sunscreen is a must, I also eat a lot of fish, I notice it makes a big difference with skin/hair - and I try to not booze it up too often...eventually I will quit

#12 Sonu on 2009-06-09 10:05

Hi -

At 38, I'm just know seeing small signs of my age in my face. I have three kids and a demanding job that keeps me busy so I stick with the
basics when it comes to skincare. I wash and moisturize my face twice a day. I'm an African American and I grew up ignorant to the importance of sunscreen. I use it now on a daily basis and have stressed its importance to my children. I also drink lots of water. Chasing kids
keeps me young and laughing!

#13 Tiffany Mason on 2009-06-09 10:44

Love his products, they really work, hope I win!

#14 Karen on 2009-06-09 10:45

#15 Anu on 2009-06-09 11:08

use sunscreen daily and drink a lot of water!

#16 Connie on 2009-06-09 11:35

wearing sunscreen all-year round, drinking more water, and keeping a good sense of humor

#17 lise on 2009-06-09 11:58

I'm trying to take care of my skin like never before, to slow down and reverse some of the damage already done. The damage is due to aging (oh, I am so old!) and not taking care of my skin in my youth or middle years, . . .. I wish I knew back then what I know now.

#18 DonnaG (Homepage) on 2009-06-09 12:02

I dance! Swing, waltz, whatever it is I probably do it. Makes you feel really alive.

#19 Sandra on 2009-06-09 12:05

I like to walk about 4 miles a day and drink lots of water and just things in stride these days and that seems to take care of everything else.

#20 Evelyn on 2009-06-09 12:18

I drink about 5 liters of water each day and make sure to jog for at least an hour!

#21 James on 2009-06-09 12:41

To feel young (relatively), I make it a point to dress my age. I don't want to dress like a teenager, but try to avoid dressing to conservative or boring for my age also. The BB posts are a big help in this sense. so THX!!

#22 Claudia on 2009-06-09 13:09

Moisturizer & sunscreen on the outside and for the inside - staying involved with my kids.

#23 Patricia on 2009-06-09 13:11

I try to drink lots of water, exercise, and eat fruits and veggies

#24 Gigi on 2009-06-09 13:30

Definitely exercising and eating well make me feel better, although I must admit I'm not particularly good about either. Thanks for the giveaway!

#25 Kate on 2009-06-09 13:31

I like to think young to stay feeling young. No matter what I have to do or how stressed I get, I always remember to have fun and appreciate the little things.

#26 Bella on 2009-06-09 13:32

To stay young, I spend lots and lots of time with my younger cousins...and of course try to get lots of exercise!

#27 Jess on 2009-06-09 13:44

My top two things are moisturizing and drinking lots of water. Hanging out with friends I've known since elementary school keeps me feeling young too

#28 GC on 2009-06-09 14:21

I try to go to the gym and do yoga 3 times a week. I also make sure that I have time to go out with my girlfriends, we always laugh like little school girls when we're together!

I would love to try this product. I've heard so many good things about it. Even Oprah loves it!

#29 Vanessa on 2009-06-09 14:22

1) Drink water
2) Stay out of the sun
3) Exercise
4) Strict skincare routine. Keep things simple and exfoliate.

#30 monica on 2009-06-09 14:23

Yeah, I agree with Monica. I think that a big part of looking young is our skin. Skincare is definitely the most important---elminating wrinkles and other blemishes!

#30.1 James Harrell on 2009-06-11 12:48

Besides drink lots of water and exercise, I use lots of sunscreen and exfoliate on a regular basis. I'm pretty sure my routine needs help...

#31 rayna on 2009-06-09 14:28

Moisturizing is very important to me. I also wear sunglasses to prevent creasing around the eyes from squinting.

#32 Nic on 2009-06-09 14:39

Sunscreen, water and bikram yoga are my feel young/ look young tools.

#33 Erin on 2009-06-09 14:49

#37 jasmine (Homepage) on 2009-06-09 15:46

Drink lots of water, eating healthier, exercise and suncreen/moisturizer! I use to be so horrible with not washing off my makeup before bed but I've learned my lesson.. I definitely notice the difference!

#38 Vanessa on 2009-06-09 16:04

#39 nancy on 2009-06-09 16:34

I use sunscreen everyday and moisturize often.

#40 Heather on 2009-06-09 16:58

I drink aloe juice. Don't know if it's true, but I think it keeps the acne away and makes my skin look younger xP

#41 Julia on 2009-06-09 17:27

"Looking and feeling young" is a state of mind.

While I do the usual, use sunscreen, avoid alcohol/smoking, nothing makes me feel younger than acting young. You know, goofing around with my husband and eating chocolate cupcakes with sprinkles!

#42 Jade on 2009-06-09 17:53

I do nothing special. I eat what I want, dance when I want, and enjoy my life with laughter and sunshine.

Even at that, everyone thinks I am 40 years old (I am nearly 60!) When people ask why I look so young, I always say 'oh, I bathe in the blood of virgins, but they are getting SOOOO difficult to find these days!!"

Having a gorgeous husband about 14 years younger helps, too!!! ;-)7

#43 J. A. Masterman-Thomas on 2009-06-09 18:09

Even though I'm 26, I've been using SPF moisturizer since I was a kid, it really helps preventing age spots (I have natural freckles, even though I'm asian), in addition, when I'm older, I know that I'll be thankful that my mom instilled this habit at such a young age. While I know the sun can be bad, a nice glow every once in awhile (whether it's a quick walk at the beach or from a bottle), helps me feel younger and refreshed. But the 3 keys would have to be: SPF moisturizer, water, and a sleep!

#44 Stephanie (Homepage) on 2009-06-09 18:44

Looking fresh and feeling young go hand in hand with overall well being. I love to exercise, try new things, get plenty of sleep, and eat healthy food.

#45 Karen Diaz on 2009-06-09 18:44

I have to agree that sunscreen is the most important thing--nothing ages your skin like the sun. I use at least spf 15 every morning.

#46 Kitty on 2009-06-09 18:53

sunscreen,

eat right,

exercise.

#47 Justine Urbikas on 2009-06-09 20:02

Laugh a lot and play with kids

#48 Raha on 2009-06-09 20:14

What I do to stay young--inside & out: always wear sunscreen, drink LOTS of water (and green tea), get at least 8 hours of sleep a night, get OUT of the city at least once a week, pet the kitties and snuggle with the boyfriend.

#49 Robin Black (Homepage) on 2009-06-09 21:38

#57 Chrissy on 2009-06-10 10:35

At 56, I use baking soda to exfoliate, wear hats when out, moisturize, sunscreen, exercise, eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

#57.1 Rebecca on 2009-06-10 11:26

Moisturizing is key! I think people also tend to forget to include their neck as well!

#58 Ida on 2009-06-10 16:58

To try to stay looking young, I eat well, work out, and try to use good cleansing products with my Clarisonic. I also believe travel and new experiences keep you young!

#59 Kat on 2009-06-10 17:15

I live in Arizona, so it is HOT! I always try to take care of my face. It is always so dry here. Eating right, water, and exerise (swimming).

#60 cherie on 2009-06-10 17:15

I drink water and stay out of the sun as much as possible!

#61 Jessica on 2009-06-10 21:52

I always wear a moisturizer with SPF, use self-tanner instead of laying out in the sun, and use natural mineral make-up. Also, I don't drink any caffeine - it's all water and decaf green tea for me!

#62 HLS on 2009-06-10 22:01

Drink tons of water and use natural mineral make-up!

#63 Jasmine on 2009-06-11 10:43

To stay looking young, I try and exercise daily. I try to walk everywhere I go (whenever possible) and drink lots of water!

Moisturizer is always good too!

#64 Emily on 2009-06-11 12:13

I think it's all about attitude - I like to have fun and I think that will keep me young for quite a long time. But certain steps I take certainly help: I wear lotion and makeup with SPF 15, jog an hour every morning, and eat lots of fruit (esp. blueberries) and veggies.

#65 Kara on 2009-06-11 12:49

I exercise, drink lots of water and play hard with my boys. Thanks for sharing~

#66 Sue on 2009-06-11 21:48

Whata great giveaway!
I live my life to the fullest while being smart, excercising, using sunscreen, and use lotion everyday!

#68 Shea on 2009-06-12 15:53

I try to moisturize but I am still looking for the perfect one!!

#69 Alexis on 2009-06-12 21:53

Drinking water is obviously a basic necessity to stay younger-looking but here's what can also really make a difference: practicing belly-dancing! Don't laugh! Belly-dancing gives you a gentle workout and opens the skin pores so they detoxify and breathe. Your face will glow and really does look younger after regular belly-dance sessions (practice 3x a week for 20-30 min.).

#70 Nan on 2009-06-12 22:55

I do the following daily:

1. Wear makeup and lotion with SPF 15.
2. Laugh.
3. Exercise daily.
4. Write.
5. Graze throughout the day.

#71 Kara on 2009-06-14 22:53

Thankfully the young look gene is n our family. However, I eat my veggies n fruit daily n drink water (not 8 glasses either). I workout cardio n weights 3x a week.I stay optimistic, don't take things too serious and most importantly, I PRAY!!

#72 teresa on 2009-06-15 07:12

Sunscreen everyday! SPF 30+ minimal. I also use eye cream every night.

#73 Julie (Homepage) on 2009-06-15 16:27

I'm trying to feel and look younger by drinking lots of water, eating lots of fruits and veggies, and using sunscreen every day.
