Hello everyone. So I started doing daily sunscreen (for external aging), as well as intermittent fasting + periodic fasting (for both internal and external aging), at about 21 and a half years old. I now am 29 years old. Over the years while many of my friends have deteriorated pretty badly, especially in terms of either looking weathered, or simply their health has gotten quite bad (diabetes induction, etc), I have tried everything I can to keep my body and organs young. I started noticing people, once I was around 25 years old, started mistaking me for a few years younger. in addition, even at 29 now I found myself getting the same thing, and also not noticing any noticeable declines in my athletic ability. Does this mean my anti aging strategies are working? Maybe, maybe just partly, and maybe even not.
However, at least on the external end it seems my efforts (probably the sunscreen), are working. While my face has indeed aged over the years somewhat, it has largely remained the same for me, and any time I share my age, I have people surprised and guessing me anywhere from 19 (which is ridiculous overkill, no way I look that young), to 24, but usually landing in the 21 to 23 range. So I am going to share how I look now, I guess because why not. I took this photo in overhead flourescent lighting due to the fact that is the harshest most revealing lighting available. Excuse my hair, as it has not been cut since the beginning of the pandemic and is many inches longer than I have ever had it, I know it is Terrible. Also, to zoom in on the photo if you're on a small screen you can just click on the photo to enlarge it if you cannot see it well.
My next step is to figure out how well my organs are doing in regards to my efforts. At any rate, I am only reporting my real world input from people. I never make my age a topic. Sometimes it just comes up when talking about my job history and how long I have been somewhere and then I get asked, I tell it, then people act a bit surprised and say I look younger. If anything, I would think that probably most of this is due to my long use of suncreen.
At any rate, as for how I think, I feel I have kept my skin in decent condition. I try to remain very strict
Has anyone else seemed to age well based on their sunscreen usage over the years?
