[quote=Anonymous]I’m overweight so I know if I can get some off I will look younger than I do today.

But at 50 I have nice skin that is generally even and that gets nothing applied to it except sweet almond oil and some serums occasionally. No foundation, no makeup except light eyeliner applied under lower lash line. I curl my lashes so they are better defined but only very, very rarely apply mascara. I do use castor oil on my lashes and brows to help them stay fuller in these post menopausal years. I typically only use lip gloss but occasionally tinted lip gloss. Very natural, low maintenance.

My one concession to aging is that I still color my hair. I let it grow out to natural in 2019 and wasn’t excited about the gray and mousy brown mix, so went back to color. I stick to an auburn/cinnamon color that is very flattering to my fair skin tone and hazel/green eyes (I’m of Celtic stock).

Other than a little bit in my long ago youth, I am not a sun tanner. I love being out in the sun - gardening, hiking, sitting in an Adirondack chair to read in my yard - but I apply a good mineral based sunscreen. I think this eschewing of sun damage is the top reason I have such young looking skin at 50.[/quote]
