How to Look Young with My Anti-Aging Secrets

I am no expert on youth full looking skin, But I am asked almost on a daily basis how I am looking young at my age I am also carded for everything from cigarettes to even lottery tickets.

I am 33 years old, a mother of 3, with my oldest being 15. The strangest part is, i don't see myself looking that young when I look into a mirror. But, when i look at other people, my own age, it seems they look old to me. I don't think i could ever date a male of the same age because they look old to me. My husband is 7 years younger than i am.

I have read a lot online not to smoke or it will make you age faster. But, I smoke, and have smoked for 15 years or so. I can remember when I was 19 , driving into a convenient store and the clerk stopped me just to ask, if i was old enough to drive. I thought that was funny back then.When i started working for the county nursing home almost 6 years ago one girl in particular asked me if, i was old enough to work there. I was 27 at the time. I can't count how many times an elderly patient has asked me where my mother is? So, why do i look so young? Is it genetics? My mother doesn't look young to me. Neither does anyone else in my faimly. I think when people started saying how young I look all the time it made me want to make sure I stay that way. .I started using a cream called, alpha hydroxy age defying skin cream, since I can remember. It only costs 1$, can u believe that.? Any kind of makeup or skin care stuff I buy has to say anti-aging, and I also love hot steamy baths and putting a steaming wash cloth over my face, maybe that helps my skin, and for years I have used firming masks at least once a week. Something must be working, at least that's what everyone tells me.

My mom says, I am addicted to trying to staying looking young, but its not that i'm addicted, I like the comments and especially when someone is shocked when i tell them my age of 33. I really do think, starting early with skin care is the key, with lots of hydration using lotions and steam on the face, I also used lots of lotions on my stomach when I wa pregnant with all three of my children and I never developed one stretch mark....
