Alterna Caviar Three-Minute Shine Boost, $25

As we age, our hair gets drier (and we color it more often to cover gray). The result: dullsville. But this semimiraculous product (and we’re not speaking in hyperbole) restores shine like no other at-home product we’ve tried.

L'Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara, $8

Aging lashes are apt to get spindly. But this über-plumping formula helps make even anemic lashes look fuller and thicker. Pair with an Rx lash-growth product like Latisse, and you’ve set yourself up for Betty Boop–like fringe.

Retin-A

This Rx cream is still the gold standard when it comes to combating sun damage, fine lines, sagging—and large pores. And if that doesn’t convince you, all the dermatologists we know use it on their own faces.

 

Available only with a prescription.

Sonia Kashuk Rock Star Nail Enamel, $5

If you sport dark-purple tips, we promise no one will ever think you’re frumpy.

Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath, $16

Crest 2-Hour Express Whitestrips, $50 for a year's supply

Teeth yellow as the years pass. To get them noticeably brighter in a mere two hours, apply strips to top and bottom teeth for two hours. Netflix night, anyone?
