Hi Erika, I see that you are writing from the Philippines. This may be why you are getting comments that you look older than your boyfriend (who is probably the same age as you.) Asians in general look much younger than their age, relative to European ethnicities. In general, we have more fat in... more

I am 20, but people say I look 25 whenever I'm with my boyfriend. I look like his older sister. I am so young and I just want to look my age. Any suggestions?

A: Age is Relative and No Surgery!
Hello Erika, Based on your age you are very young and without seeing you in person am going to assume that you need very little in terms of procedures or surgeries to help you look "younger". Most patients your age just need to take care of their skin to enhance and maintain a refreshed and healthy... more

Hello. I have been a natural skin care esthetcian for over 25 years. I truly believe what you put in your body as well as how much sun you allow on your face is the key to looking younger. Her are a couple tips... Mask your face with "milk of magnesia" yep! thats right, it is an amazing mask.Also, no smoking "if you are a smoker". Start eating steel cut oatmeal and berries( pre blueberries) every morning. The point is age CAN be reversed!!!! I am 42 with two children in college and peolple cant believe I am a day over 30.Hope this helped.

I understand your concern, we hear it every day in our Dallas skin care spas. Three suggestions: Wear sunscreen built into your moisturizer, 365 days a year, rain or shine, inside or out. (You still get sun damage if you're next to windows in your home or office!) Since you're young, you need to find one that's light weight and won't clog the pores. Renee Rouleau Daily Protection SPF 30 (www.reneerouleau.com) is our best selling product because it's so light. You must be using a good antioxidant serum. Vitamin C is my favorite. It's a must for brightening the skin, and preventing aging. And lastly, check out all of the mineral foundation makeups that they have out night. They are lightweight, and more importantly, "light reflective" so they give your skin a luminous glow. It's the perfect way to "fake" having flawless skin. But don't be too hard on yourself. We are all our own worst critic!
