Healthy skin habits can make you look younger and reduce your risk of skin cancer.

While ointments, creams and eye serums can mask the effects of aging, nothing beats a good skin-care routine, the American Academy of Dermatology says.

The academy suggests:

• Protect your skin from the sun by seeking shade, wearing a hat and applying sunscreen daily.
• Wear sunglasses to limit fine lines around your eyes.
• Never use an indoor tanning bed.
• Apply moisturizer daily.
• Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleaner.
• Don’t smoke.
• Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water.
• Get a good night’s sleep.
