I am 54. Always looked younger than my age. I still do not have wrinkles and my neck is good. However, one of the earlier posters has mentioned a hardening of the features, and that is me. My face looks harder. If I have not been eating well, or am dehydrated, I have a slight wrinkle on one side of mouth which changes depth depending on how well I have been. Sounds odd, but sometimes it is noticeable, others not. Drinking lots of alcohol really dehydrates me now. I drink less now. The skin on my body has improved weirdly. Hair growth is slow so not much hair removal going on, skin is soft, and the ketaris pillaris (sp?) has disappeared on its own. I take 1000mg of flaxseed or starflower oil a day. Helps to moisturise from within.
Stress has more of an effect and really shows on my face, particularly if there is a lack of sleep too. Menopause has not been too bad for me, but anxiety has been one of my symptoms and every now and again the anxiety causes stress and then I suddenly look older. So I try to keep things simple, let things go, minimise stress.
My hair is a natural dark blonde, just a few wisps of grey underneath so you can't see them. So hair looks good but the texture has changed, it's harder to style, and I now have scalp issues. My hair is getting on my nerves actually. That has always been low maintenance but that is changing.
Losing weight made me look younger. But I lost the weight extremely slowly, about 2 stone over 2 years. My face became a nice shape. And my posture and general sprightliness improved. The way you move can make you look old. If you have a couple of stone to lose but worry about the effects on your face, lose it very slowly and it allows your face to keep up, if you see what I mean! And being able to wear more stylish clothes makes you look more engaged with life, rather than chucking on the same old things to hide the bum or belly.
Wearing too much make up makes me look older. I like a light base. I am a fan of glowy products, but not those aimed at teenagers, but subtle glow. Becca Backlit Primer is good. Locking make up in place is good too, as I used to top up blusher etc at lunchtime and sometimes overdo it. Now I only apply once a day but lock it down with fixing spray - Urban Decay All Nighter is my first choice, although ELF one in black bottle is a good cheaper option.
I would like to find something good for hands. I look like I am a downstairs maid cleaning out the grates all day, dishpan hands. I do minimal housework so it is not that. They look worse in winter, better when the temperature increases. I am not wearing mesh fingerless gloves a la Madonna but they are letting the side down.
You are what you eat. Endeavour to fill yourself up with good stuff most of the time. Take a good multivitamin as insurance.
