But seriously, vegetables, fruit, lean meats, exercise, moderate sunlight, exercise again, and having a sense of humor about things seems to be working well enough so far. I'm only 27, though, so the effects of age aren't apparent beyond a few odd gray hairs and my amazing ability to pull off loafers.

I'm about to turn 30. Mostly, people guess me to be around 22.
My advice? Find a younger significant other.

With dry skin wrinkles will form easily while oily skin tends to stay wrinkle-free. If you have dry skin, moisturizing your face daily will reduce wrinkles, and prevent them from forming.

1. Not sure about the red water cleanse lol but I do partake with my fair share of relaxation assistants.
+1 for the fruits and vegetables etc. and loafers are rad.
2. Laughter is the best medicine I believe and I would think hanging out with someone younger would make one look even more prehistoric. :P
3. Oh I eat fish ie Salmon...essestial omega fatty acids and what not. I have a ebony and ivory colored rat terrier that I take for walks/play with, she does help to ease my stress.
4. I drink 2-3 cups of green tea every day, read all about its benefits. I just make sure to rinse and if possible brush my teeth afterwards since it can and will stain my chompers.
5. I think young...therefore I are young....me thinks.
6. Yeah most of my cousins who are their 40s look like they are in their 30s and those in their 30s look like they are in their 20s etc. I have been told I look 18-19 at times...feels good no doubt. And yes staying in shape is always good...not just for the exterior but for one's internals as well. Also my skin type is oily....its like I never need moisturizer but I have heard even oily skin needs moisturizer? Anyways I did read having oily skin shows wrinkles less but is more prone to pimples/acne/blemishes etc. My complexion is fairly clear now but back then I got pimps and what not...there is some slight/miniscule scarring but for most part most people say my face looks fine.
7. Yeah I am just a whore knee bastid. :P Sometimes I wish I could just turn off the libido cause at times when at work/gym what not I get distracted by attractive females and need to release.
8. Yeah stress is more detrimental than most think. As for facial hair, I ask most of my friend girls and they say it makes guys look older. I personally like having a stubble thats about it...no policeman/pron star mustache and or grizzly beard.

You're lucky because by genetics, as I had read - you'll always look younger than say, me...I'm caucasian and used to smoke cigs and have partied too hard for too may years. ** Luckily I've "gotten a clue" about those negative behaviors for my health & longevity and have stopped.
YES to the sunscreen. No matter what type your genetic DNA is - the sun's rays have gotten more intense over the last 20 years.
As a side bar: Personally I think the more fish you eat with alot less red meat makes good sense. Less additives & toxins in fish (in general) and better digestion.
Interesting topic. Thanks for writing!!

1.
Baz Lurhman's wear sunscreen....sofa king true. Everyone should watch this video....and embrace it. And props for looking young, keep up the good work.
2. Good jeans are hard to find...as well as genes.
3. I just do it a lot because A it feels good and B it reduces chance of prostate cancer (at least thats what I believe from my reading/advice)
4. Kudos to stopping the smoking and hard partying...dont get me wrong having fun is always good but within reason I say.
