People still mistake me for early 20s to mid 20s because I took care of my skin, but I saw someone on an old Reddit post say that even if I look good in early 30s I can expect a sharp decline into hag territory at around 35. Any old anons have experience with this? How can I push that back to at least 40?Also we can make this a 30+ queers general I suppose.
>>35547984people often dont care to take care of themselves, and the point they start seeing the consequences varies. they blame it on age rather than their own self care. my therapist wore sunscreen, moisturized every day, and took hrt (she had her ovaries or something removed iirc)shes late 40s but looks mid 30s its crazy
I'm 36 and haven't changed much. My dad didn't look significantly older at 50 than he did at 18 (I have two pictures, one 18 and one 52, where he looks similar to the other).
>>35547984Not queer, or 30+. However, why do you give a fuck about a Reddit post? Has your life been going alright, sans worries about the future?
>>35548025are dark skinned individuals supposed to use sunscreen?
>>35548065i dont know, i havent spoken to many of them but id assume so right?
>>35548065Generally not, but it might help. To my knowledge, the elevated melanin levels tend to reduce the risk of skin damage and skin cancer from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
>>35548111alright, coolmaybe if i sunmaxx i can get freckles like morgan freeman though
>>35548065Black don't crack (just don't smoke crack)
>>35547984Happy bday, nona! I'm turning 35 in a few hours :vHonestly, I can't really help you here. After I hit my 20s I've always looked older than I actually was, but because of HRT I now look my age more or less, maybe slightly younger. Basically, YMMV :<>>35548065Nta, but yes, even black people need to. Although for darker people it's more about skin cancer prevention. That shit is severely underdiagnosed among them, and some skin cancer types are more common among darker skinned people. Melanoma, the very scary one, is generally relatively rare, it doesn't affect as many black people, but hispanics are only marginally better than whites in this regard. Also, fun fact, skin cancer is more than two times more common among men than women.
>>35548065yes
>>35548160>>35548165-1 perceived buff i guess
>>35548126>i can get freckles like morgan freeman thoughYou are fucking with me, but that is very likely genetic. So do not pursue it.Skin cancer does still occur amongst those with darker skin, but due evolution is less common, even with elevated levels of exposure.
>>35548276i actually have a vague memory as a kid of looking up morgan freeman and swearing that he only had those freckles in photos of himself when he was old. so i genuinely thought that maybe that were true. but yeah i am not trying to skin cancermaxx. i think i've heard people say that sunburn would be taken a lot more seriously if it were called "radiation burn" instead, or something. maybe i've gotten the terms wrong. but i know it's no joke, so i shouldn't play any games with it, even beyond the only reason it was brought up ITT being retaining youthfulness, which is of course only a skin deep concern
>>35547984>Be me>Be 29>Be 5'4>Was chain smoker for 9 years>Still look 18>People dont believe me when I tell them my real age>Always get carded when ordering / purchasing alcoholic drinks>Always get strange looks from bar tender / cashier>Still get treated like I'm barely 18At this point I'm curious as to whether or not I will ever age.
>>35548356people used to say this about keanu reeves, but now it's over for him. i've heard people say his beard even hides his lack of jaw/chin nowadays. it will happen to you too. also grats on kicking the cancer sticks, cause that shit is gay
>>35548325ITT is probably more biased towards light-skinned people (we both know I am talking about Whites, am White). Morgan Freeman is a champ, and every time someone mentions him, I immediately think about God (Bruce Almighty). He is a great actor. Eh. It would probably be best to understand it as something you are far more resistant too, than lighter-skinned people. In a similar way to the fact that Europeans/Whites (honestly, it doesn't really matter) can generally (important) metabolize alcohol better than others. Just because they are better at tolerating it, doesn't mean it is good for everyone else.
>>35548356>At this point I'm curious as to whether or not I will ever age.You will.
