| What are you doing to stay looking good? I am 46 and hitting the wall hard, like all at once. I’m open to any ideas! Every category. Haha. |

| I have Botox regularly. It makes a world of difference. |

| I don’t have kids and get 9+ hours of sleep a night |

| I have an excellent skincare routine, exercise regularly, am social and get IPL every 3 years or so. I'm 58. |

Being social has nothing to do with skincare. |

Dp. No, but it brings happiness, which makes pp look good. Mean, unhappy people don't look that good when they're older. Being nice, in shape and happy goes a long way in making older people look good. Also, no booze. |

| Eat well and stay in shape. It’s nutrition more than gym. don’t do any interventions like Botox but I would NEVER stop coloring my hair. And very good skin care routine. Serums, eye cream from Dr Sturm and La Mer. |

Mom of 3 older DC, 55. I avoid the sun, wear sunblock daily and always wear sunglasses.
I’ve had the same skincare regimen I was 12: wash face with Dove soap, apply Ponds cream at night and in a.m. Garnier or Neutrogena moisturizer w/ SPF (obviously those are new products) I had severe eczema as a child (all over my face) and so had to sleep with heavy moisturizer on my face - sometimes I’d sleep with a Vaseline face mask of sorts. Sometimes still do this. I also try to keep my weight steady - learned that fast gain/loss causes stretch marks/sagging skin. Extremely light drinker. Maybe a sip of champagne on a special occasion or I’ll share a mixed drink with DH. Near daily exerciser - walking and hiking and yoga. Mostly vegetarian. Haven’t had beef in decades and lifelong fish and shellfish allergy. Choosy to picky eater - tend to eat low sugar. Never drink colas or sodas. |

You think only nice and happy people are social? And mean and unhappy people aren’t? Again, has nothing to do with skincare. |

No smoking and minimal drinking. Lots of water.
Plenty of sleep. Nothing ages you more than lack of sleep. Stay out of the sun. Sunscreen. Stay within weight. Retin-A every night at highest strength your skin can tolerate. |

You’re wrong. My very social friend is a smoker and drinks a lot when going out. She looks older than her age. |

A lot is genetic, especially skin thickness and resistance to wrinkling.
I do Botox to lift my forehead and around my jaw, my pruny mouth (never smoked) is my downfall. I must have had resting b face too much. |

| PP. Thought of more. I really try to maintain flexibility and balance. I walk and hike with a weighted vest and do daily stretches - all of those challenges to get up off the floor that you see on TikTok? I can do them all. I have very little of the aches and pains that some of my same age friends and colleagues complain about… |

Who over 45 views challenges on TikTok? Or even over 35 ish? I am serious. |

NP. I’ve seen them on Instagram. I agree with some of the basic stuff like flexibility. Also I got progressive glasses and contacts as soon as I needed them. You look old when you cannot read your work or phone. I’m not sure why people resist that one. |
