Let us introduce you to part two of the “our job rules” series. Last month, we shared with you the best makeup tips we’ve learned as beauty editors, and now, we’re spilling the anti-aging tricks and rules we live by every single day. Some of our trusted anti aging tips are things we’ve learned from dermatologists, some are things we’ve learned from celebrities, and some are things we’ve discovered all on our own from testings hundreds of products a year (we know, our job is a struggle). Here are the best anti aging tips only beauty editors know (besides from always wearing sunscreen, because we expect you to know that by now).

Make hats your best friend. “I love sunglasses but they don’t really provide a lot of coverage, and I’m trying to stave off hyperpigmentation as best I can. So in addition to sunscreen (because obviously) anytime I’m running out and I know I’ll be bathed in even the tiniest ounce of sun, I put on a hat with a decent sized brim (like a baseball cap or fedora). It’s cute, hides a bad hair day, and shelters my skin from unnecessary sun damage.”—Ariba Alvi, associate social media producer
Put on your creams and serums with serious thought. “I like to use my weakest finger, my ring finger, to apply eye cream. If there’s any leftover cream on my fingers, I apply them on my laugh lines. After I put on my moisturizer, I tap my face (not to the point of pain, but with just enough force) a couple of times to improve blood circulation.”— Seunghee Suh, digital editor
And when it comes to eye creams, always tap. “I remember once at a desk side with Clarins, their expert told me the best way to apply eye cream around the eye area is by gently tapping it in with your finger since the skin around the eye is so sensitive. I also keep my eye cream in the fridge to help with puffiness…that I learned from Chrissy Teigen.”— Chantel Morel, digital assistant beauty editor
Never forget your neck. “I used to always apply all my fancy creams and serums just on my face. But then I looked at my neck and realized that it’s out in the sun and the environment as much as my face. It needs those serums and creams just as much as my forehead does.”— Renee Jacques, associate digital editor
Always wear shades. “My eyes have always been really sensitive to light, so I tend to squint even when it’s cloudy (and squinting leads to crow’s feet). Sunglasses all day, every day.”— Lexi Novak, beauty editor

Trust your drugstore finds. “A couple of times a week, especially if I’ve worn a lot of makeup or was particularly sweaty, I cleanse my face with witch hazel before going to sleep. When I wake up, my skin appears youthful and supple.”— Simone Oliver, digital director
Protect your hands. “I always use hand cream with sunscreen. We’re always on our phone or driving and we don’t realize how much sun exposure hands are subject to. My favorite hand cream with sunscreen is the Supergoop Forever Young Hand Cream Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40.”— Kat Suico, beauty assistant

Over-moisturize. “It might sound incredibly basic, but my best anti-aging tip is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I have combination skin—my T-zone is pretty oily—so for the longest time I held back on moisturizing a ton because of it. But even oily skin needs moisture, and the more you hydrate, the younger your skin looks (sad, but true, your skin gets about 10 percent drier every decade). So after getting schooled by my dermatologist, I began to focus on keeping my skin hydrated, using serums and lightweight creams that are packed with gold-standard hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid.”— Sophia Panych, deputy digital beauty editor
