[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give up alcohol. It ages people even if they are social drinkers or the "a glass of wine a night" kind. And focus on getting a good nights sleep as often as you can. Lack of sleep and alcohol age people on the inside and the outside.[/quote]

Female, mother of three, age 45, fair/dry skinned, teetotaler here.  Proud to say that I have pretty skin, but it's work.

Agree with PP who said it's your lifestyle choices of your early twenties that come home to roost and show up on your face in your mid 30s.  See Robert Plant, Lindsey Lohan for examples of hard living = aging or, attend your 25 high school reunion.  The then-gorgeous, perpetually tanned, skinny girls are now, middle-aged women who have leathery, crepey skin and could be described as "time worn" or "hard."

I'm convinced that for women, taking good care of your skin (avoiding the sun, wearing sunblock/hats/sunglasses as a matter of habit, NOT sleeping in makeup, daily moisturizer and even not drinking alcohol help) but so too does not being too thin and maintaining your weight.

Yes, genetics plays a role, but ever seen those photos of identical twins where one's a smoker/sun worshiper/drinker and the other is not?  That's telling.  I see this with my years younger sister - she had a misspent youth, lots of drinking, time outside in the sun and it all shows on her face and she's 38.  Most everyone assumes she's older than I am, and that's sad.[/quote]

Yes, I'm paying the price now for my misspent youth.  But boy do I have some stories tell!!  Lol.[/quote]
