When I was in my 40s and told people my age, they’d always be surprised and say they thought I was in my 30s. Then I started thinking I shouldn’t tell, because it’s flattering to have them think I’m younger than I really am.
I wear sunscreen every day (a moisturizing sunscreen that’s specifically for the face, not one you’d wear on the beach). I think that’s part of the secret. I advocate for wearing sunscreen, which was recommended to me when I was 30 with a new job, and a new dermatologist (part of the great health benefits) and I asked him how I can reduce the signs of aging. He recommended sunscreen and he said he wears it every day. I don’t just put it on my face, but on my neck and chest too. I see a lot of older people who have a lot of sun spots, which is sun damage.
If I could pause my looks at one age in my life, it would be around age 30. Ideally, it would be nice to have those looks with the knowledge and experience (brain) of the present time.
