If Botox, collagen injections or plastic surgery aren’t on your top list of to-do’s to help yourself look younger, read on. You don’t need to take extreme measures to reveal a more vibrant you because there are many simple and natural ways to refresh your appearance and help you look younger without surgery.

Straighten Your Teeth

One of the first things I recommend is to put your money where your mouth is, literally. Fix your smile. A recent national survey conducted by Roper Public Affairs found that more than six in 10 Americans (62 percent) believe straightening crooked teeth can make an adult look younger and 77 percent agree that doing so is one of the best investments a person can make in improving one’s appearance.

Don’t just focus on your face to look younger. Think about your body, too. There are many inexpensive and fun things you can do to your body to look younger and feel your best. Some of my top tips include:

Wear Brighter Colors

Adding color to your wardrobe makes you look happier and feel more alive. Let everyone else wear depressing black to the reunion.

Stand Up Straight

When you focus on your posture you can avoid painful back aches, and you’ll instantly appear more confident.

Work Magic with Body Slimmers

These undergarments can help you achieve your ideal figure in a matter of moments and are excellent for smoothing under tighter fitting dresses.

Experiment with Makeup

Get makeovers and advice at the cosmetic counter of your local department store or makeup store. Take pictures of yourself to see what looks best.

Be Yourself

My final advice is to just be honest and accepting about who you are because people can see shame in your game. And most importantly, make sure any investment you make is the best one for you.
