coca butter is so, err, buttery though. it's like slathering yourself in lard. I use it on my feet but that's about it.

ScarletLady02 · 30/09/2013 19:05

Hahaaa, fair enough. I find it too heavy for my skin as well, but DH swears by it as does my friend. It's great for everywhere else but if I stick it on my face and it's hot I feel all slippery.

SPBisResisting · 30/09/2013 19:08

I would have said early to mid 30s
You'd have to be a very nervous cashier to challenge 25 on that basis!#Shame he wasn't a granddad - the media would have loved that :)

LadyBigtoes · 30/09/2013 19:11

I wouldn't have put him at under 25 - he'd pass for 35.

I don't think he'll give Floella Benjamin a run for her money - she is still the queen of youthful looks.

Isn't it sassh? Well there is something that makes it more elastic and less dry than white skin. I read it somewhere :)

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 30/09/2013 19:19

something about black skin and collagen

Meglet · 30/09/2013 19:19

Now Floella does have a portrait in her attic. She couldn't have been that young in her Playschool days.

Tom Ford looks good for 51. He's obviously had work done, but it's good work, not a wind-tunnelly, pillow botox face.

Nancy I agree with you, was regularly refused alcohol in pubs and supermarkets when in my twenties and id'd at 31 on a few occassions in Tesco etc. Told I looked 10 years younger till I turned 40, since then I think Ive aged a lot and could possibly pass for a few years younger but not like I used to.
Ginger and proud!

Some pale people age pretty well, look at Julianne Moore! I'm 36, very pale and get ID'd in the supermarket all the time. Because I burn so easily I've had to avoid the sun a lot and as a result am less lined than someone with medium toned skin who has done a fair amount of sunbathing.

MrsLouisTheroux · 30/09/2013 19:39

The children I teach say I look 33 (10 years younger)

Shame they haven't a clue really! Grin

kalidanger · 30/09/2013 19:40

What's this chaps name? I have a policy about DM links so I want to google him Grin

squoosh · 30/09/2013 19:41

His name is Charles Brown, shouldn't throw up too many google results! Grin

Feminine · 30/09/2013 19:43

I agree with you squoosh I'm very fair.

It hasn't stopped me looking much younger. Fair skins don't tend to fry their faces!

I'm 42 but can pass for about 7-10 years younger.

motherinferior · 30/09/2013 19:44

I'm a 50 year old redhead - have inherited my Anglo/Scandinavian father's colouring not my Indian mother's - and have aged bloody well, I can assure you.

kalidanger · 30/09/2013 19:47

Hah, thanks sqoosh Grin I got a peek without clicking Cake

MumToOneMogwai · 30/09/2013 20:10

No my girly mate is youngest looking 51 year old ever, look at my profile Look! Look! It's actually unsettling....

Mintyy · 30/09/2013 22:36

Motherinferior looks like she should be her own daughter, let me reassure you!

I think Gareth Malone is amazingly young-looking. And my dbrother's partner, but none of you know him.

singaporefling · 30/09/2013 23:00

nancy66 my mum is a very very pale red-headed English rose who's just turned 73 and could pass for 50 something! It isn't just me that thinks so, people constantly comment. She never ever goes in the sun/drinks gallons and gallons of water, lives on carrots and has done yoga for forty years. I've sadly not inherited her 'habits' Blush

ImperialBlether · 30/09/2013 23:02

I knew there would be loads of people on here saying they look young for their age!

That's actually nothing to do with the thread!

singaporefling · 30/09/2013 23:03

I'm eurasian and have been told that I'm aging well, at 50 I can pass for 38 - 42 in the right light Grin

Nancy66 · 30/09/2013 23:04

oh no....lots of indignant redheads!

I didn't make it up, it is because of the low melanin levels.
