I was insulted today and told I look much older than I am. Could I ask you to tell me how old you think? Blush

Be kind, but honest

Late 50's.

OldGrinch · 19/01/2020 00:07

I'm 52 with a slim face and would say you look about my age or perhaps slightly older? Sorry not read full thread. I think often people look totally different in photos anyway.

Try a recent decent vape for the smoking. I quit a 30 a day habit with one Smile

How old is the OP? I couldn't find it.

This has got to be the worst thread I've had the misfortune to read on Mumsnet

I agree. A load of highly filtered pictures with people asking how old they look in them. I really don't see the point.

Thankyou crazy. I do have good skin, as do my sisters and as did my mam. It's part genetics, part man drilling into us about good skincare- SPF everytime!

I have all boys and have drilled into the 2 teenagers about skincare.

My OH says my hair makes me look youthful. I've always had short hair so it gets cut every 6 weeks, maybe it's that regular upkeep that makes a difference.

You're right about the tan. Scarily, lots of the younger woman in work use sunbeds- I've no idea why it's had another upsurge.

Cyclelover · 19/01/2020 00:17

OldG you look wonderful for 52, the lip colour really suits you

@Monty27 what is your problem?

Snoopdogsbitch · 19/01/2020 00:20

pinkyy I don't think any are filtered except for the OPs original photo. Move on if you're not interested.

GoodDogBellaBoo · 19/01/2020 00:20

You want people to tell your age, but post filtered photos. Looked at your second photo, you look like my 64 + colleagues. That would be my guess. Why do you ask?..

lostinBristol · 19/01/2020 00:21

@zenasfuck

49-53

GoodDogBellaBoo · 19/01/2020 00:22

A bit older in the face for 64+ but the fringe is probably hiding it. Guess a lot of tanning and smoking and it tells. Noone cares though.

Smartanimal · 19/01/2020 00:23

60

Cyclelover · 19/01/2020 00:24

I'll mention again for those who haven't read all of the posts, I'm actually 42 Blush

Not sure why some posters are managing to get angry about the thread. It is the internet, if you don't like something then move on!

Horehound · 19/01/2020 00:25

I thought op was about 55
I think @RumbleDoll is 63
I think @zenasfuck is 38

OldGrinch · 19/01/2020 00:25

@Cyclelover thank you very much for your kind words! And my photo is not filtered I wouldn't have a clue how to even do one of those Grin

GoodDogBellaBoo · 19/01/2020 00:26

My friend who is 74 looks a lot younger than you in the face, not the hair though.

74NewStreet · 19/01/2020 00:26

Ouch!

Cyclelover · 19/01/2020 00:27

Nah i think you're being deliberately disingenuous GoodDogBella.

Justneedatemporaryname · 19/01/2020 00:28

Sorry OP, I'm 42 too and I thought you were 50-60. But it wasn't an accurate pic due to the filters. I'm guessing you're a smoker,?

Cyclelover · 19/01/2020 00:29

I do smoke yes, regretfully.

But not for much longer I hope

OP posts:
GoodDogBellaBoo · 19/01/2020 00:29

Oh just read, 42...? Sorry. Maybe sun and smoking and living in a bad area with car fumes then.....? What were you hoping by asking though? I am older than you.

luanmapo · 19/01/2020 00:32

I am the same age as you op but probably look mid 30s.
I too am a smoker :-((.
However, I have a facial every 4 weeks and use Tropics skincare range.
I am slightly overweight which probably helps, but I do run a lot.
To me always moisturising since a teenager is the key to my youthful looking skin.
