How do men like George Clooney manage to look more and more handsome as the years go by? They've obviously got good genes, and even more importantly, top skin advisers who can help them age gracefully.

A New York City dermatologist Paul Jarrod Frank drops some tips for men to achieve younger-looking skin:

1. Use SPF
"It's the best anti-aging product on the market," says Frank. 90% of wrinkles come from the sun. Slather on a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher every day to protect your skin from UV rays, even in the winter.

2. Exfoliate Twice a Week
"Men don't have as many wrinkles around their mouth because we shave there every day, it's a type of cosmetic exfoliation," says Frank. You should still use a scrub even if you shave daily, or use a Clarasonic device twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells and even out the skin's surface. If you want to take it a step further, get a glycolic-acid peel at the dermatologist's office to take off the top layer of skin and smooth out fine lines.

3. Use Eye Cream
"Guys come in and complain not about looking old, but looking tired," says Frank. So pat on eye cream, like ClarinsMen Anti-Fatigue Eye Serum, to tighten the delicate skin around eyes and reduce dark circles and puffiness.

4. Strengthen Skin with a Retinol
As you age, your skin will sag due to the breakdown of collagen. A retinol like RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream (available at the drugstore) boosts collagen production and cell turnover to firm skin up and smooth out fine lines. Apply it only at nighttime (retinols make your skin sensitive to the sun) and start with a pea-sized amount.

5. Cut Down on Sugar
"It's a tough pill to swallow, but gluten-rich foods like pasta and dairy create inflammation in your intestinal system and affect major organs, including the skin," says Frank. Basically, sugar makes you look old. So try to cut back on bad carbs (white bread, processed foods) and eat more fruits and veggies.
