48 and no wrinkles, what can I do to continue to keep them at bay?!

[allfalldown47]

Although I clearly don't look 20, I do look considerably younger than I am and as I'm close to 50, what can I do to help my skin further?
My friends jokingly say I'll hit 50 and rapidly start to age
I have no wrinkles but can see the start of a little sagging around my jaw and my skin generally doesn't look (understandably) young anymore but generally is pretty good.
My skincare routine is a bit shabby, I use the Aldi serum day & night and have a simple moisturiser with spf that I put on as well for daytime. And that's it, so clearly I could do better!!
I don't have endless time or money but would love to up my game and keep my skin looking youthful(ish) for as long as possible!

Botox makes you look weird.

Do you not have any when you smile at all? I'm 46 with no visible ones but my neck is starting to show them .. I have some crows feet when I smile but none at rest .., I use retinol and have used a night cream since 16!

@rogueantimatter

Avoid getting spectacles Spectacles can lead to an immediate onset of wrinkles in my experience.

Glasses are awful- they make my house look grubby too!

When I got laser eye surgery (being serious here ) and stopped wearing glasses I immediately became less invisible. It's bizzarre.

My skin and eyes improved considerably when I upped my fresh food intake and gave up eating wheat and most sugar. It really does make a difference ,what you eat. I do face, ,also whole body, exercises too.

@allfalldown47 I use La Roche Posay Anthelios spf 50

It’s lovely, really light, it’s not like the sunscreen you are used to wearing on holiday (all greasy)

I apply it after moisturiser and before primer / foundation

I wear it every single day, even cloudy rainy days. I’m 43. I also use retinol though so using a separate SPF is an absolute must. But honestly a decent sunscreen separate from your moisturiser/ foundation is the best anti aging thing you can do

But, everyone gets laughter lines when they Smile/laugh surely? I thought crows feet/laughter lines are when they are still there when the face is at rest because it sort of stays. My six year old son goes crinkly around the eyes when he smiles. I've noticed it more in other people recently because when people are in face masks its the easiest way to tell someone (of any age) is smiling or not.

People get old, it’s part of life. Why are we so obsessed with fighting it...surely good health is what’s most important.

I think if you are nearly 50 with no wrinkles then I wouldn't change anything, I would just keep doing what you are doing

I’m the same, I only gave laughter lines at my eyes. SPF and moisturiser every day and at night, Retinol, but preferably Tretinoin will help your kin looking good x

@PeacefulPlease I'm not obsessed with staying young looking, I like how I look at 48 and think I look better than I have done in years. I'm just aware that my skincare routine is far from great and I've often pondered if I should up my game.
I can't deny I love it when people think I'm in my 30s and if I can keep that up for a few more years then why not?!!
There's lots of great ideas on here, so thank you so much everyone.

A good diet and excercise shows in your skin, keeps you looking young.
Also be mindful of the expressions you pull as they can ingrain in your face such as too much frowning, raising your eyebrows too often etc

seensome unless we go around constantly checking that we aren't using those muscles , how can we avoid it? I'm nearly 70 and prefer to have some expressions that show I've lived rather than look like someone in a mask like Joan Collins or jane Fonda (it amazes me how some 'celebs must spend a fortune on plastic surgery and look like someone else or else masked.

Peace is right.
