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.

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

You're being overly literal. PP is saying that by living a good, fulfilling, happy life, it helps her look good.

You and pp are being overly literal if you think being social helps one look more youthful.

Interacting with people and not being constantly alone make people happier, since humans need social interaction. Happier people look more youthful and attractive. Isn’t this common sense? Are you a self diagnosed introvert who believes she looks young?

Here’s what I do
Exercise regularly, keep a healthy weight im size 4.
Eliminate gluten decrease carbs- you’ll be less swollen
Botox a few times a year
Throw out your makeup routine, watch you tube vids start over, use Cream based foundation and blush not powder
Also having Brown skin helps, we don’t wrinkle as fast,

I have Botox once a year, exercise daily, and work, and work, and work, which keeps my cognitive abilities good. I use snail mucin every day. I am on the slimmer side but not too skinny, which makes me look older.

In the meantime, I’m doing Botox in my 11s and considering filler in nasolabial folds.

Don’t do the nasolabial folds. They suck but there is literally no way to fix them that doesn’t make you look really weird.

That’s late to not be in menopause.

NP. My mom was like this too. Im 45, my cycles are a bit shorter (26 instead of 35 days) and my skin is a bit dryer but that’s it so far in terms of peri symptoms.

Positive mental health absolutely shows on the face.

Being social is the number one method to living long, aka anti aging.

NP here. OP said nothing about skincare! She asked what are you doing to stay “looking good” and specifically mentioned “in all categories.” Sheesh.

It’s interesting that so many people are recommending staying slim. I’m slim myself but look older at 40 than my obese in laws who are mid 40s. They have baby faces. I look tired.

Hanging out on a parents forum makes you seem so happy with your choice!

Have you noticed there are boards in this forum, like Beauty and Fashion, that have nothing to do with kids or parenting?

You’re full of sh!t.

Uh, no. Being unhappy and stressed out stimulates cortisol levels which is bad for you and aging to the face and body. But I guess you’re trying to make yourself feel better about not having friends.

Tretinoin, Botox, and keep my hair colored.

Being social has a great deal to do with satisfaction and happiness. These have the biggest impact on health and looks.
