One of the most important ways to look young is to stay thin. Eat a low fat balanced diet with discipline and do cardio at least a few times per week.

Long term youth is caloric restriction, meaning eat less, thus implying you should not overexercise because that would require you to eat a lot, taxing your internal system by oxidation producing free radicals. Look up lifespans of professional athletes. "The average elite athlete will die by the age of 67."

That would depend. If the anti-wrinkle cream contains exfoliating agents, i.e. causes new skin to grow, in the long term there is a Hayflick limit whereby your cells can longer divide and thus die.

Ummmm, I think you have a bit of spare capacity.

Quote:When all of the cells created in the human body before birth (and all of the cells these cells produce) are multiplied by the average time it takes for cells to reach the end of their lives, you get roughly 120 years. This is the ultimate Hayflick limit -- the maximum number of years that a human can possibly live.

I think two of the best things you can do which are pretty easy is pluck or get eyebrows threaded and whiten teeth, white teeth make everyone look younger. You may also have a certain hairstyle that makes you look younger and I'm not talking about geting some stupid mohawk or something just to look younger but I get told all the time I look young when I shave my head as opposed to when I grow my hair a little longer. Whatever you do, do things which physically make you look younger don't do stupid stuff like run out and buy ed hardy tshirts or something try to look younger with objects or image as it usually comes off as kinda sad.

Be a devoted user of sunscreen, even better is to minimize sun exposure. That's difficult if you're an outdoors guy or into outdoor/extreme sports.
I remember a high school coach's skin was shriveled up like a prune who subsequently died of skin cancer. Light skin is more easily damaged by UV sun rays due to being thinner and less melanin production.

Sometimes using sunscreen can actually be worse for you. Be very careful about the chemicals in your sunscreen. Some of the most widely used chemicals penetrate your skin and known hormone disruptors. Not only that, chemical sunscreens might actually increase your likelihood of skin cancer.

Moisturise your skin – I’ve got dry skin on the lower part of my face so I’ve been moisturising since I was in my mid 20s. I’m now nearly 40 and I have no wrinkles & I can pass for 8 or 9 years younger.

I agree with staying out of the sun. I used to live in beach city and a lot of the people there look like shit by the time they're in their 30s.

I went direct on a college age girl today. SHe said thank you when I told her I thought she was cute but was trying to walk off. When I asked her if she was off to work she said "Yes Sir" .....oh buzzkill!

I think I may need to shave my 10 day stubble and go clean shaven. Maybe that will knock a few years off.....even though I have no grey in my stubble.
