What is your routine for youthful looking skin
I've always been so happy when people think I look younger then I am. Lately I feel like I look older in pictures so I'm trying to figure out what I can change in my routine. Is there a product or makeup regimen that you use that keeps your looking young?: )

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
No products except taking off makeup and using moturizer and sun block daily all year. I think youthful skin is a combination of genetics and lifestyle (proper nutrition, exercise, staying out of sun, no smoking, moderate alcohol, low stress).

I agree with this. It's mostly genetics and then add healthy lifestyle to that. But genetics dictates it most
My mother never put sunblock on a day in her 75 years of life and soaked up the sun - never put cream on, she lived on pepperoni and Italian bread (and stayed at 100 lbs) and also smoked 2 packs + a day for 50+ years. She started to show some aging at about 70. And even with that, she still looks a lot younger then most her age.
Hoping I get those genes!! Well, I sure didn't get the skinny gene, but I'll take the younger skin please

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
After my morning coffee (which is just coffee, not floofy fancy drinks loaded with sugar - no sugar at all, actually - and chemicals), all I drink for the rest of the day is water. I drink at least 70 ounces a day, usually more. I also eat LOTS of fruit and vegetables.
Moisturizer on my face every day, no matter what. I use one from TJ's - there's no scent in it.
I use Yes to Cucumbers make up wipes, then wash with a gentle tea tree oil soap and pat dry.
No sun/lots of sunblock.
My routine is really simple. I believe that a large part of my looking young comes from years of eating well, drinking water and staying away from the sun.
I'm 34 and get carded for alcohol from time to time...and not the way most people get carded...I get the ol' "take the ID out of the wallet and I'm going to really inspect it and ask for your birthdate" carded.

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
Genetics.
I just turned 38 and I have very few, almost no, wrinkles. I drink tons of water and I kept out of the sun growing up. I was often made fun of because I was pale. I also partied quite a bit. I do eat healthy foods, but I think most has to do with genetics.
I am often carded when I am in the US. I got carded in Europe  recently. They did not believe I was 18.
I'm a lucky B and I know this.

I was "doomed" from an early age. People thought I was in my twenties at 14.

 Yes! I got carded in Europe last year! Go us!
I also realized that being childfree is probably helpful too

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
I don't see myself this way but my sister looks amazing.
She is very youthful. She is now 41. I'm 31. People ask if we are twins all the time and when I say no, they guess she is younger than me!
When she was 34 she had to have an emergency appendectomy. When the surgeon came in, this was in the middle of the night so she has no make up on, he said... I'm sorry but after the surgery you'll have to rest for a few days, at least. He goes, are you worried about school?
(She is a teacher)
So Jenn thought, wow how did he know??
She's like, I think I'll be ok.
He goes, what grade are you in?? Ninth? 10th?
LMFAO!!!
She's like umm didn't you look at my birthdate on my chart?! I'm almost 35!!!
He was in complete SHOCK

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
I'm 38. I moisturize and use a bunch of products but really I think it's 90% genetics. I know I look young - I get carded ALL the time! I don't have a single wrinkle but despite being thin I have always had a fuller face and I think that helps in looking youthful. I'm also of medditeranean descent which (sorry if this offends anyone) I think makes a huge difference- I've definitely seen a correlation between ethnicity and aging. No one in my family really has wrinkles

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
Genetics plays a good part.
I'm 39 and a beach girl, boater, takes vacations and get TAN..sometimes no SPF.
I didn't learn until facial products until late on my life and now use cream.
I also fall asleep with makeup on sometimes- EEK! 
I don't get acne. I'm not flawless but I don't have wrinkles and am told I look 10yrs younger than I am.
ETA: I will not avoid the sun.

My grandmother is Italian & looks amazing for 94! Obviously she has wrinkles, and looks like a grandma, but I think most people think she about 10-15 years younger than she is.
My grandfather also looked great for his age in his late 80s. It was probably a mixture of genetics & diet. His weight never really fluctuated & he ate a lot of olive oil & very little sugar.
Unfortunately I think i take after my other side of the family & eat a very American diet!
I tried to do what I can with sunscreen, moisturizer & Paula's Choice Resist toner.

Re: What is your routine for youthful looking skin
surprise surprise! I use Rodan + Fields! Its a four step process, start with a daily facial mask, then a pore refining toner, then a pm cream or am cream with spf depending on time of day. I also use the amp md nightly which is a non-evasive micro-derm roller and night serum- was featured on the Ellen show and called the best 1 minute in beauty by NBC's Today Show
Running a special promo through 12/15- you get a free eye cream ($60 value) with any bundle with a tool (amp md for fine lines, macro exfoliator or acute care for expression lines).
Happy to send a sample if anyone wants to give it a try! Image Attachment(s):
