1. Make sure you wear sunblock and hats from birth. Much damage is done before you even turn 20. Its never too late to start. The sun the enemy pf beauty.
2. Don't have kids
3. Get 8hrs+ a night of uninterrupted sleep (see above).
4. Do not drink any alcohol, smoke, or do drugs.
5. Exercise 7 days a week. Walking 15k steps preferred, plus 2-3 days of weight training. Don't get more than 15lbs overweight.
6. Drink lots and lots of water
7. Eat a well rounded diet and take B, D, and Magnesium

While I completely agree with you that rarely does a 35 year old truly look 17 (if ever), to be fair the patients that seek out a cosmetic dermatologist are those that are looking for more assistance. If someone naturally looks very young at that age, they likely wouldn't be in your office yet!

20.11, If I posted a photo on here, it would blow my identity regardless of my posts, how is that so hard to understand?

PP, exactly. The women this lady sees are all going to be older looking so it isn't a true reflection. Women don't want to believe it but I know for a fact it is entirely possible to look late teens in your thirties but the chance of someone like me meeting this woman is very slim as clearly I don't want to look younger and so we would never meet.

I get carded at the movies for 18 films and of course for alcohol. It isn't a generation thing either. Someone my age asked how school was going the other day...
I am not trying to boast, I hate being told I look so young but, I get told on almost a weekly basis how shocked people are that I am 32 and not 17-18 like they had originally assumed. I am 5'3, quite slim, flat chested and have a very young face.
It is rare but it happens. I guess it is just frustrating when people say it is impossible to look so young at 32 as why do I get it all the time that I look 17. It isn't just one or two people who think it, everyone does and the highest anyone has ever said was 22 but even she added 'At a push'.

Give it up. I sent my 16yr old boy to see the wolverine movie with his friends and he has pimples and looks like a 15yr old and he didnt get carded at the rsted R movies. Im 38 andnget carded for alcohol all the time, that's called policy.

People are flattering you+ you are dillusional, this is what is going on.

You have made this spelling error twice. It's delusional. You think PP is having delusions.

You again! You were JUST on a thread last week "not boasting" about specifically looking 17. Find another thing to build your identity around, jeez.

You are so kind to follow me round forums, PP. Bless you.

Why not 16, or 18? Why does everyone think you look 17 specifically?

I don't follow you round forums I read these boards and you're on a thread in half of them bleating on and on about how you LOOK 17 according to everyone.

You also only see people professionally who think they need a dermatologist.

I look younger for my age than I am. Not THAT much younger, but people are genuinely surprised. They assume I don't have cultural references from my childhood, that sort of thing. And as you suggest, I never smoked, got a tan maybe a dozen times over the decades, stay fit, and rarely drink. Never had kids.

But I work with a woman who's in her thirties without a wrinkle on her, thick hair down to her waist, a girlish face, and gets assumed that she qualifies for kid discounts at theaters. Maybe a dermatologist standing next to her could peg it closer, but regular people don't. She ended up cutting her hair shorter recently to look older. She would never see a dermatologist unless her doc wanted a mole looked at -- why would she?

Good advice, but I have seen it with my own eyes. My colleague is turning 35 and I thought she was 24-26. I'm almost 34 and planned to mentor her. I'm someone who used to look younger but def looks my age now. Others were floored as well.

Why would someone who looks 10 years younger need a cosmetic dermatologist?????


I would honestly like us to meet. Maybe I am one of the 1% but I kid you not, I got told almost weekly that I look 17. I am 32. I am not lying when I say this, people are astounded by my age and as I said before, think I am looking forward to a couple of years time when I turn 21. I am not boasting here but I find it strange that you say it is unheard of to look so much younger than your years. I could even send you a photo to prove my point?

You'd be more than a 1%er. I see 2,500 patients a year and have never once seen a 32yr old woman look under 25, let alone 21.

I've also never seen an actress whose entire livlihood depends on her looking forever young at age 32 with an entire staff of people around her helping her look as good as possible look a day under 25.

I'm sure you look great, don't sweat it!

Your point being? If you don't like it, don't read it. Your issue is someone looking a lot younger than their age naturally.
You don't get to police the forums.

I am a 30 year man, people tell I look 17....LOL

My nanny looks early twenties and is 33. She has a very young face, is in good shape and has a sweet character which makes her appear youthful and childlike.
I am a couple years older but it looks like a decade or more which is embarrassing in some ways.

I am actually not policing her at all as much as pointing out how pathetic and weird it is to insist over and over on multiple threads how very 17 you look. She's probably managed to shoehorn this into jobs and food somehow too.

It's a forum sweetheart, where discussions take place around these issues. As was said before, if you don't like it, don't read it. I find it more weird you find the need to comment on all the threads you have seen about it. Sure must have a lot of time on your hands. Moreover, I am sure you 'bleat on' about a particular subject just as much on these forums. As was said before, you don't get to police or censor what people say here.
