oh god, the provinces
age has less than nothing to do with appearance if one has a decent salon and a decent face cream, darling. esp not an age gap of about 2 years!

sounds like you've been having to resort to that for a while though
a salon and face cream can only do so much....

staying out of salty water, sun and wind helps enormously too
as does not having kids. all my friends with kids look about 10 years older than those of us who don't.

i got ID'd at an over 25 bar the other night, thank you very much!

edit - also, fat is enormously effective at pushing out wrinkles :(

I suspect that living in London isn't good for the skin either
might want to consider that.

Smoking NFTW!
Both my sisters are younger than me by at the most 4 years and everyone thinks I'm the youngest.

i don't see how it can be a bad thing
you never see sunlight for a start!

for your lungs, maybe.

bgb is totally right, smoking wrecks your skin. doesn't show til you're about 35, though, and the elasticity suddenly dries up overnight.

good point.
I'm not too concerned about the elasticity of my skin. Most of it is covered in hair anyway
