I just want to ask my fellow mylotters here, do you look younger or older than your age? What do you think is the reason behind this?

many people guess younger than my age, so i think I look young. I always eat nature food and kept enough sleep time , everyday keep a good mood.

I also think healthy foods, enough sleep and smiling always help us look younger. Thanks for responding. :)

hi there. well, humility aside, everyone i know would say i look too young for my age. it's kinda funny when i see the look in their faces and tell me that i am younger than that. at times, it's a disadvantage. i dont' get fair treatment when i apply for the job. they think that i am just in highschool or college. and when i present them my resume, they think that those aren't real. so i bring my ID all the time just in case i need proof. haha. also, when am with my friends my age, people mistake me for a younger sister who just wants to tag along. and worse, those who hit on me are much much younger. the reason behind this i guess is the genes i got from my parents. they too do not look like their age. they look younger. along with that, their health is younger than their age. i hope in time i'll be like them. that is why i need to restore my health and take good care of my skin.

i also had an experience like that, i am applying a couple of years ago and the guard said they are not accepting minors :D they don't know that i am 22 that time. i guess that's on genes, me with my other siblings looks like younger than what we actually are :)

I look younger than my age. It does bug me sometimes, but it doesn't bug me as much as it used to. I'm somewhat okay with it.

I look younger than my age. I am 34, but many people still that I am in my mid-twenties. Now I think it is nice to look younger than I am, but when I was a child and a teenager I definately didn't like it. My brother always found it really funny when people thought that I was younger than my age, but I didn't find it funny at all. As a teenager I wanted to look like an adult and not like a child. I have always been pretty skinny and I think that is one of the reasons why I look younger.

I think proper balance on what we eat and drink. We have to be responsible on our body intake. We have to balance our way of life style, avoid cholesterol, eat vegetables, drink milk, orange juice and sleep well. I saw a lady doctor who is like 30 but when you ask her, she told me that she is on 50s.It's on the nutrient of the food and how much intake.

Yeah, you're right. I also think healthy living makes one look younger. Watching your diet, exercising daily, drinking plenty of fluids, and enough sleep; I think these can help us look younger and feel healthier.

I've always been mistaken as the youngest child. People say I have a babyface. I think I'm just small that's why! Lol. I'm only 5'2 i guess. I'm the smallest in the family. My family is always making fun of me especially when I have to reach something high. Lol.

Hi... I can relate with you. We have the same height and most often than not was bullied by some of my brothers because of my height. All I can say is bear with it and let them laugh. At least, I look younger than them because I was often mistaken as the youngest amongst the three of us when in fact I'm the eldest...:)

in the morning upon waking up, i find my self younger looking, it's a nice time for me to look at the mirror, but as the hours pass by i find myself more mature, as i get all the dirt and oils in my work, i come to think that everyday we do get old, though generally speaking, i find myself looking older than my age, i guess that is one of the effects on me, smoking. And since i have quited smoking for months now, taking daily dose of Vitamin E kind of rejuvenates this aging skin.

I am a tall girl and when I was young I was often mistaken to be somewhat older than my real age. I hated it because I feel so awkward, but now, I look younger than my age because Im skinny and most girls my age gained so much weight and they look old.
