What we put into our bodies does make a difference in how fast we age - even though genetics do play a part as well.
For example eating less processed food and adding fruits and vegetables to our daily diet - lots of it can keep our skin smooth and glowing. I have seen it happen.
Of course there are some areas where the skin is much thinner and turn out to be problem areas - like the neck for example, and hands, especially when they are frequently immersed in water.
So do you have an anti -aging treatment for your skin? . Mine is eating mostly fruits, vegetables and legumes, mostly for the overall health benefits - not only my skin.
So what kinds of fruits and vegetables do you like?

Since I've recently had a major health issue pop up on me
I've had to change my eating habits with a no SUGAR diet
& on insulin, but I'm working on getting my health back on track.
I've mainly been eating fresh fruits & air fried foods, no carbs
no sugars, no processed foods or fats, I eat cottage cheese
with (no sugar) fruit cups, & Swiss cheese & bran cereals.

@Kandae11 It is a good diet for me.
Yes, it is amazing to see the changes. I'm seeing most of them in my hands. I remember when I was younger seeing my grandmother's hands with all the spots and wrinkles on them. My hands look like my grandmother's.

I like all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I do think eating "whole" foods rather than processed foods is beneficial. I try not to use too many chemical products as well . . . I try to use natural oils and kitchen pantry stuff on my face (various fruits, honey, milk, yogurt, etc).

I love fruits and vegetables so most days I get enough.
I've noticed that my arms are starting to look like my moms (very thin skin). My hands do need lotion to keep them soft.

@Kandae11 food is the best medicine (as they say). So much can heal us by eating good stuff while the bad stuff can do so much harm.

I should drink more water. 
But I should also follow your advice and eat more greens. I don't like most fruits so it's going to be nuts and vegetables. I like broccoli, cabbage and several leaves, especially rocket leaves!
I like beans too, but my favorite legumes are peanuts. 
I agree what you put inside your body is as important if not more than what you 'spread' outside. However, when it comes to that, my routine only involves a moisturizing cream at the moment.

@Kandae11 That's impressive! 
I'm mostly afraid of wrinkles even if I'm almost 30, I may need some sunscreen as well.

@sabtraversa l was hearing that the lycopene found in tomatoes does a lot to protect one's skin from the ray's of the sun - meaning adding the tomatoes to your meal. They said tomato paste works even better. This is in addition to the sunscreen.

My complection got totally ignored last year while I had cancer and treatments, but I'm taking better care again.
I love fruit, but intestinal issues prevent me from eating raw fruits or veggies. I do love baked and fried veggies, but they're not as healthy.
Great post!

I cannot do something for my hand because it's really veiny and wrinkled since I was young. With the other parts of my body I used lotion and moisturizers and eat fruits and vegetables. I also do some facial massage.

I like to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. To name a few, apple, orange, grapes, kiwi. For vegetables, I like eggplant, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, onion.
I also use moisturizer for my skin.
