[quote=Anonymous]I'm 37 and think I look....30? I have always looked 30. People thought I was 25-30 when I was 15 and over time it is like I have just kind of stayed the same. I never had a babyface so didn't have a SUPER young look, but I see a lot of peers around me that do seem to be aging much more rapidly and it is noticeable. Very occasionally there will be someone who seems a bit salaciously tickled by my DH being SOOOO much older than me (it's 7 years, not 20) and they think I am in my 20s, but this is usually much older people so I don't give it too much credit. Things I think helped:

1) Genetics. My parents both look pretty good with no work.

2) Prescription retinoids starting at 12 used daily with high SPF. I was on this train EARLY and never stopped, barring pregnancy. Still used acids. Also always "pulled down" treatments to my chest.

3) Generally avoiding the sun due to the above medications. I don't and never have laid out to intentionally tan. I am also so fair I don't really tan and don't choose to do a lot of things like beach vacations. I don't have melanin on my side, so major precaution it is.

4) I have full cheeks and high cheekbones

5) Botox in between my brows (this is my problem area. I'm a scowler) and recently some light preventative through my forehead

6) Really limited weight fluctuations. Stayed within 10 lbs of my middle/high school weight barring pregnancy when I gained a normal amount (25 lbs) of weight. Size 0-2.

7) I did 2 IPL treatments, not sure if I'll continue but I am open to lasers.

I'm sure it will catch up to me as age does, but for now this seems to have worked ok. [/quote]
