For women 40+yrs If you were told in your twenties you looked quite younger:this question is for you?

Question

Do you still look younger?
Whats your secret?

Answer 1

When I was 15 people always said they thought I was about 18.....when I was 20 people thought I was about 25.....after that people have always thought I was younger than I actually am. I'm 51 now & no-one ever believes my age, putting me in my mid 30's.......I think genetics play a part but so does looking after yourself plus keeping out of the sun unless you have sunscreen on of course. I think image plays a part too. like having an upto date hairstyle.....I keep fit by working out weekly plus lift weights, I run when I can & speed walk a lot plus am cycling from London to brighton in june with my daughter & a lot of guys that she works with. that doesn't keep me looking young but it sure as hell keeps me fit.

Answer 2

Yes I did. When my husband and I went out for the evening I was still being carded in the cocktail lounge at the age of 35 before I could be served a drink. Yes, I still look young for my age. 3 years ago I moved into a 55+ mobile home park. The people in the community were very rude. Some approached me to my face and told me I didn't belong there because I was too young. Others left notes on my door. When I would tell them my age (60) they said I was lying about my age so I could live there. I'm now 63 and people tell me I look to be in my early 50's. Secret? There is none. Every one on my mom's side of the family looks young for their age. It's in the genes.

Answer 3

I'm 25 and since I was 16 I've been told I look like I'm 14. Now they say I look 16. People often think that I'm my sons nanny and not his mother. I really don't have a secret I've just always looked young. I guess I have what people call a baby face. My mom is 43 and she is just now starting to look 30ish. And every now and again she will get carded for alcohol.

Answer 4

My friend is 41 and I am 35 and she is always being told she looks younger than me. Her secret as she has told me is good facial cleanser and good moisturizers. They cost a little more but the end result is worth it. She uses Clinque products, but I use Allmay and am starting to feel a difference in my skin. That and drink a lot of water.

Answer 5

I still look younger and I attribute it to genes. I don't do anything, although I probably get less sun than the average person. My mother always looked much younger than her age and my daughter also looks younger than her age. My mother always told me that makeup was bad for your skin so I avoid that. Don't know if there's any truth in that, though.

Answer 6

Yep - people can't believe I have 2 teenage sons (15 and 17). I too think it's just good genes. It's sure not caution on my part - I love to lay out in the summer, drink beer, and I smoke.

Not good I know... I have no idea why I look younger than I am.

Answer 7

People always tell me I look younger than I am. I have no secret at all, I just hope I continue to age well the older I get. Just blessed with good genes I guess.

Answer 8

I'm 54 now and people consistently tell me I look late 30s early 40s. I think it's my smile, my sense of humor and my genes (pretty much wrinkle free). My Mom is 81 and people think she's about 70.

I will say I've used Oil of Olay products since I was a teenager. They were given to me by my Mom who still uses them.

Answer 9

Answer 10

great question! when I was 15, I looked 13, when I was 20 I looked 18, I'm 25 and I was told I look 23 or so, I guess you kind of catch up with your age at one point!!
