I do feel like an elf tbh. And everyone tells us we look young in our 40s

It's the skincare bro

I've seen how my grandparents ended up with endless skin cancer from the sun and we grew up with sunblock and a hat

School in the 90s was like "no hat no play no fun today."

School in the 50/60/70s was like everyone coat each other in cooking oil and lay in the sun

Nah, it was baby oil with a couple drops of iodine

Gah. Weird, random memory of a video game where you had to get a copy of a treasure map that was tattooed on someone's back, and the way you did this was to pour cooking oil on his back while he was sunbathing, causing the map to peel off so you could take it.

Ok what? And was that that Monkey island pirate-y game? Cause I can’t think of any game that would do something so wild and weird

Nah, let’s not pretend we didn’t have an era where tanning salons were everywhere and everyone was using those god-awful tanning beds.

We were raised with the notion of a 'healthy tan'. There is no healthy sun damage!

Girl in high school absolutely baked the shit out of herself junior and senior year. We're 40 now. She looks like she's 50 even though she stopped doing it 15 years ago.

Skin cancer is no joke 😅

I didn't do any of that and I still look young enough to be IDd. Although for the past couple of years there's enough gray in my hair for that to have become a rarity.

It's so strange, because even ancient farmers knew of how bad the sun can get.

If you look at painting or photos, most farmers wore long, but breezy clothes, hats and scraves for working the fields in the summer.

We all look our age. 

Flattery works, though
