[quote=Anonymous]I'm not uploading my pics for praise on Insta. But I am regularly told I look 30-38 years old (I'm 48). People, men and women, volunteer this opinion, I'm not asking.

I think the reasons why are:

-I'm black and Asian
-Genetics (e.g., my grandmother was always mistaken for my mother)
-Sunscreen daily and avoiding the sun since I was 16 (had a skin cancer scare when I was a tween)
-I'm 5-10 lbs overweight, have a round face and full cheeks
-Never smoked, rarely drink

I noticed that I looked like I aged recently, gaining a forehead line and a bunny line and some crows feet, and my skin is looking duller (I'm perimenopausal; the drop in hormones has  caused the new wrinkles, I think). So I've started an actual "beauty regimen": vitamin C serum under the sunscreen in the AM; vitamin C serum plus eye cream plus a moisturizer in the PM; occasional exfoliating with an AHA treatment. These are Cerave and The Ordinary products. So far I'm liking the results -- still have lines, which I'm fine with, but skin looks a little dewier.

I think most women nowadays look younger than their age due to the popularity of daily sunscreen and the unpopularity of smoking. Plus the availability of injectables and different says to resurface facial skin. I don't know why someone thinking they look ten years younger seems to be such a controversial notion on this thread.
