5. OLD HABIT: POLISHED NAILS AND SOCKS NEW HABIT: HEALTHY HANDS AND FEET ALL YEAR We figure we're constantly washing our hands and wearing slippers, Uggs or boots 24/7, so who's

going to see? You are! Aren't smooth paws and tootsies one of life's little pleasures? Nail polish — which, let's be honest, is camouflage — will get you only so far and

doesn't begin to address the issues of red rough hands, cuticles and callused feet. Make daily nail oil like Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil ($9, ulta.com) with almond, jojoba and sunflower

as well as a nongreasy hand cream like Burt's Bees Lavender & Honey Hand Cream ($5, target.com) a habit by popping them in your bag, near the sink and by your laptop to compensate

learned one thing this past year, it's the value of a quick de-stress plan. Start using the power of select notes like vanilla, lavender, rose and jasmine for a calming, soothing effect

— and don't be a scent snob! A low-cost body mist like Vitabath Lavender Chamomile Fragrance Mist ($9, ulta.com) or Island Vanilla by Pacifica Perfumed Hair & Body Mist ($13,

target.com) can help reduce anxiety when sprayed on body, hair or pillow. On the other hand, for a quick energy boost try a citrus one like Nest Fragrances Grapefruit & Verbena Body Mist

($20 travel size, ulta.com) instead of an espresso. Keep your usual fancy fragrance, of course, but now use it in rotation with mists. (Left to right) NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me

years we've been spackling and painting to hide every discoloration and splotch. It's time to stop. Like our favorite new wire-free bras, updated face makeups still do the job

they're meant to do but they're easier to wear and make us look authentic. Switch to a skin-like moisturizing formula with a dewy texture — like NYX Professional Makeup Bare With

Me Tinted Skin Veil ($15, target.com), Wet n Wild Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator ($6, target.com) or e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 ($14, target.com) — and aim for a blurring effect, not

a total cover-up. After all, trying to cover every single brown spot, red splotch and discoloration to fake a perfectly even skin tone is not necessary for real life — unless you're on

TV. (Left to right) dpHUE Color Touch-Up Spray; Color Wow Root Cover Up; Anthropologie Amber Knotted Hairband in sapphire Sephora; Target; Anthropologie 8. OLD HABIT: SALON COLOR ON SCHEDULE

NEW HABIT: STRETCH YOUR COLOR Another COVID-19 lesson here. We wrestled with the root and hair color issue during lockdown and didn't like being unprepared one bit. Make it a habit to

stock up on chic, wide hairbands (your roots’ new best friend) such as the Anthropologie Amber Knotted Headband in sapphire ($24, anthropologie.com), and get handy using a temporary touch-up

— like Color Wow Root Cover Up ($34, target.com) or dpHUE Color Touch-Up Spray ($28, sephora.com), which comes in hard-to-find shades like strawberry blonde and auburn — to extend color for

a simple DIY. After all, gray roots are very different from dark ones, which can look kind of Madonna edgy. Grays can make a part look wider and a hairline appear to be receding — and who

needs that? (Clockwise from top left) Olay Masks Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask with vitamin E; The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Hair Mask; Faith in Nature Coconut & Shea

sun exposure and public viewing for a skin rehab. If you regularly use retinol cream or other moisturizer before bed, save one or two nights a week for intensive care. Apply a supercharged

hyaluronic face mask like Olay Masks Hydrating Overnight Gel Mask with vitamin E ($23, target.com) to push the envelope on line plumping, as well as a shea butter mask for hair like Faith in

Nature Coconut & Shea Butter Hydrating Mask ($8, target.com) or The Body Shop Shea Butter Richly Replenishing Hair Mask ($18, thebodyshop.com). You don't need to use masks labeled

“overnight,” either. Any rich cream or mask applied lavishly works, but protect your pillowcase by using an old one and wrapping your hair in a plastic-wrap turban or shower cap. (Clockwise

NEW HABIT: GET A GLOW WITH BLUSH Still think bronzer is the answer for dull, tired, saggy skin? Not so fast. The best new trick for grownup skin that has lost its radiance is to apply a

cream blush — like Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Blush in coral crush or blushing berry ($9, ulta.com); Stila Convertible Color in petunia, lillium or gerbera ($25, ulta.com); or e.l.f. Cosmetics

Putty Blush in Tahiti, Caribbean or Turks and Caicos ($6, ulta.com) — high on the top ledge of the cheekbones. Forget the old blush-on-the-apples trick. As we age our cheeks sag and drop

when we stop smiling. Lifting the blush up lifts your cheeks! Stick with creams since — unlike bronzer and powder blush — they add a healthy gleam that's pure glow. Choose rose, pink

and berry shades for cool skin tones; apricot, coral and peachy shades for warm skin tones. _Lois Joy Johnson is a beauty and style editor who focuses on women 50 and older. She was the
