How do I keep my babyface?

[Saft]

I can still pass for about 10 years younger than I actually am. Looking younger used to bother me, but now I wouldn't have it any other way.

So how can I keep it this way for as long as I can? I don't use any kind of face creams, moisturizers, or anything like that. In fact I don't use anything on my face other than water from the shower, but should I start using something? Should I start some kind of 'manly' beauty regimen so that I can keep my babyface for as long as I can? If yes, what kind of beauty regimen should I do? What kind of products?

Anyone else got a babyface?

You could bathe in the blood of virgins like a certain Blood Countess.

(If you're not squeamish).

i heard that the best cream for wrinkles is actually suncream, but it's not practical to be oily and smelly all day.

i wonder what other people think ...

The number one cause of premature skin aging is the sun. If you want to keep looking young, a moisturizing sunscreen is your best friend. (And they do make sunscreens that aren't greasy.)

I looked online and there's so many choices. I don't know which one to get. Any ideas?

I think I'm just going to get the most expensive one and call it a day.

I've had very good results with prune juice and balsamic vinaigrette. It was better than the Countess Elizabeth Bathory regimen.

This is what I use. It's pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure it works, because as the forum can attest to, I'm thirty and I look fourteen.

My sons have great skin but dryness issues and that's a big culprit as is the sun (use sunscreen). Start with a cleanser made for your face. They like the Nivea line. I don't think it's too expensive.

NIVEA Men's Care - Face Moisturizer - NIVEA

Dunno, I want my face to look like well tanned leather, like Edward James Olmos.

If we ever become partners in crime, I will refer to our duo as The Babyface Bandits.

Well you didn't mention SPF, so I'm guessing its not that important.

This stuff is legit.

For night, use that brand's Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream. Retinol is your friend.

Stay hydrated, eat healthy foods. Include a lot of leafy greens.

I dream of my weathered visage, a face that's seen a thousand suns.

Just make sure you cook both sides evenly.

Niacinamide: A B vitamin that improves aging facial skin appearance.

METHODS:

Female white subjects (N = 50) with clinical signs of facial photoaging (fine lines and wrinkles, poor texture, and hyperpigmented spots) applied 5% niacinamide to half of the face and its vehicle control to the other half twice daily for 12 weeks (double blind, left-right randomized). Facial images and instrumental measures were obtained at baseline and at 4-week intervals.
RESULTS:

Analyses of the data revealed a variety of significant skin appearance improvement effects for topical niacinamide: reductions in fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness (yellowing). In addition, elasticity (as measured via cutometry) was improved. Corresponding mechanistic information is presented.

Also, Vitamin C plays a role in the synthesis of structural proteins like collagen:

Effect of vitamin C and its derivatives on collagen synthesis and cross-linking by normal human fibroblasts.

In this study two in vitro models were designed to evaluate the effects of VitC on collagen biosynthesis and cross-linking at cellular and tissue levels. It was shown that VitC induced a dose-dependent increase in collagen type I deposits by normal human fibroblasts (NHF) cultured in monolayer, and enhanced extracellular matrix contraction by NHF in a lattice model, in a non-cytotoxic range of concentrations (103m, 104m, 105m). Exogenous VitC supply could thus contribute to the maintenance of optimal collagenic density in the dermis and locally strengthen the collagen network.

I think that's called Carly Rae Jepsen syndrome.

I'm generally assumed to be anywhere from 7-10 years younger than I am (and several classmates thought that I am 19 )

I wash my face with water only, wear sunscreen AND avoid the sun... thankfully I have a nice complexion, unthankfully, the sun hates me.

I wear the same sunscreen as [MENTION=23115]BadOctopus[/MENTION] actually

 

[chickpea]

I have babyface but I smoke and take horrible care of myself and rarely wear sunscreen even though I burn easily.
