    Looking younger when you are older

    We are all heading into old age , some can manage it well some just fall at the first hurdle and some are not bothered and go from day to day,
    So what can we all do to look younger when infact we are older,
    Many say you have got to look after yourself , eat right and exercise too, but dont over do the exercising, ( how many people do you see running but look half dead ),
    Look after your skin, wash just with water or soap and all the face creams you can apply these days and most say they make you look younger (yer right ),
    Teeth , again its down to each of us to keep them clean and make regular appointments to see the dentist ,
    Hair, you either have some or have none, but what can be done about this, yes you keep it clean and cut too, but if you fancy changing it to a different colour there is nothing stopping you,
    Ems keeps pushing me to change my natural colour, GRAY, to something else, but i have been told that would make me look like Mr Trump, (Thanks for that my Friend ,)
    Clothes, well we can wear the latest designs but come on boys and girls there are limits ,
    Under the Knife, yes its the final thing we all could do but with the cost to change how you look i think i would not bother,
    So boys and girls after all this we could be the best dressed best looking person out there, but would you be happy,
    I know i am just me , my hair is the colour i like , my face well its me , my teeth well yes i wish i had a nice set, but they are my own except the 1 tooth, and you know what I AM SO HAPPY , sO DONT CHANGE A THING

    Being well groomed, nice clothes makes a world of difference. I've got little hair but keep it short and use a bit of just for men for the grey bits on the side (my barber did not know I used it )

    Bath and razor shave every morning,followed by anti perspirant,lynx body spray and men's face balm which feels great after shave.

    Good jeans Levi 501s for me, qulity T-shirts

    I walk and work out a bit so I'm pleased to say this 57 year old gets comments that he only looks about 50.

    That's all I can do really just have to accept we are not 21 anymore and make the best of what we have left

    Still waiting for the bus driver to ask why I'm using a bus pass.

    Other than that, I find that continuing to wear the same clothes I did 30 years ago, driving the same cars and listening to the same music, makes me feel a lot younger...not to mention having a partner in her twenties.

    I still see the 22 year old Roma chic on occasion
    That help and I agree with the music - picked up a hen night party last night, and we had a right blast booming out the tunes in the car.

    Two people stood out in my life, for looking far, far younger than their respective biological ages:

    Firstly, my maternal grandpa ... who'd a full head of black (not dyed) hair and was still totally alert and physically able to get around when only just over a couple of years short of his "ton-up" (100).

    Then, of course, there was his middle daughter - my mother herself - who lived to be only 84, sadly. But, I'm proud to say, her hair never turned grey either. Honestly, without a word of a lie, she could've passed for a woman of 50, by the time she died.

    Unlike me, who's been grey, bald and looked every inch my [present] three score years and ten, ever since being widowed at forty-seven.

    I'm 41 but don't feel 41 and certainly don't act it!

    Most people think I look like I am in my early 30's which I am happy with.
