Today's post is on looking younger than 18!!! This week I sat in a breast clinic waiting for my mammogram and looking at ladies between ages 50 and 70 and the most aging factor was obesity! I analysed their faces and saw how excess fat distorts. So when you get older you can either have too little fat postmenopause that gives your face a bony skeletal look which happened to me or too much fat which then weighs down the face. Sigh. So it means maintaining an optimum weight and facial fat forever if you want to stay looking young into your 50s-70s.
Yesterday I went to Homebase to buy silver dip solution and went to pay. The elderly Asian female cashier surprised me by asking if I was over 18? I replied yes and wondered why I needed to be 18 to buy silver cleaning solution. She did not accept my answer and again asked me if I was over 18? I wanted to blurt out I am 52! But thought why admit your real age so I just said yes again. She looked dead serious so it was not said as a joke.
I got into my car and looked in the visor mirror. Did I really look younger than 18?
Wow and thought yes I can see why she asked! I took a selfie and analysed it. So less makeup, no false lashes and no lipstick makes me look like a teenager! I guess that means no more lipstick for me now. What do you think?
Praise be to Dr Seo of MVP who fixed my triple wrinkled eyelids in May 2016 and facial fat graft with ulthera in Feb 2018! The permanent fat in the upper lid has given me back my youthful eyes! And my high-pitched baby voice will always make me sound like a kid! lol. I guess the lesson is that if you succeed in looking 20s or younger then you cannot go around saying you are retired or in your 50s as it upsets people who see a young girl. Just go with the flow and if they ask if you are working or what your job is keep it simple and say no I am not working, I am attending school and learning korean. lol. Much more believable.
