Why would wallpaper give anything away? I've got a photo of myself in front of the Colosseum, doesn't mean I'm 2000 years old. Although I do feel it.

Lolaandbehold · 08/08/2023 15:22

I'd have said early-mid 30s. (obviously now I know you're older)
I'd kill for your collagen levels :-)

You've probably all sent @Grannyknowsbest into a complete tailspin. She's off doing some Death Becomes Her shit right now.

I really hate these threads which is why I didn't post ... but it's really descended into hilarious chaos. (I hope Granny is ok, some brutal answers there).

She was pretty brutal to the OP to be fair.

I'm going to get my picture taken in front of The Shard. It'll take years off me.

Or drinking gallons of water. That well known method for fighting the signs of ageing.

About the sun damage on OPs face. I have 3 large melasma spots on my face and I don't believe it is the sun. It can be hormonal, medication or potentially deficiencies.

I've tried Dermactia and wear factor 50. I think only lasers will get rid of mine but the I kinda like the imperfection.

I wish we could collectively just STOP trying to 'fight signs of aging'. can't we just concentrate on being healthy and happy at all ages

Maireas · 08/08/2023 15:33

Also: ageing is not a crime or a sin. Men are allowed to age. I'm embracing my inner crone and reclaiming the word ✊

My daughter is older than you but looks younger.. she's a single mum to three ASD teenage boys.
Try some good skin products.. drink more water.. be careful of the sun.
Our genes must be good.. plus we take great care of our skin. I cannot raise my eyebrows so have no frow lines. I don't drink alcohol.. only water.
I'm 65.

You're deluded. And does your dad know you've posted her pic? Op looks younger than her anyway. You look your age plus. As others have said.

It's normal to want to look younger. There is a direct correlation between how old we look and healthy longevity. And a correlation between how we feel about ageing and our metabolic age. Basically the younger we look and feel and the more youthful our attitudes, the longer, healthier lives we live on average.

Her dad probably only looks 40 if that's where they get their good genes from.

It's amazing that celebrities spend ££££ on plastic surgery. They should just put a hose from the tap to their gob.

TheDuchessOfMN · 08/08/2023 15:36

😂😂😂 at @Grannyknowsbest post about good genes and water. Did you miss the posts where pretty much everyone correctly guessed your age? Confused

Maireas · 08/08/2023 15:38

The picture of @Grannyknowsbest 's daughter looks a bit strange.. Granny looks mildly threatening.

Sorry, thinks they look 40.

JennyBeBad · 08/08/2023 15:40

@Grannyknowsbest and her daughter both have better skin than op. I think Grannys style and hair gives away her age. Her daughter has better teeth and skin than op so yeah, teeth and skin really age a person.

Can confirm.

But Granny looks very nice. She's obviously taken care of herself and is well groomed.

TeapotTitties · 08/08/2023 15:40

Hmmm @Grannyknowsbest said yesterday her daughters are 38 and 30 🤔

So how can her daughter be older than the 39 year old OP? 🤥

RausageSoul · 08/08/2023 15:41

GrannyKB claims to not have blurring software but I reckon her Samsung galaxy beautification slider is at the max!

Energydrink · 08/08/2023 15:41

35 years old and exhausted and unhappy

TurquoiseDress · 08/08/2023 15:41

38-40?
