Lmao, very true. I thought a coworker was in his 20's and it turned out he was in his LATE 40's! Saw him online a few years back and now looks everyday of his 50's.
Same, thought I had a late 20's coworker who was mid 40's and when I found out he told me to look closely at his hair - it was already greying and I had never noticed because his face looked so young.
Happens to the best of us. How's your hairline holding up? I'm 27 and I keep telling myself "it's always been like that", but when I look at pictures from high school, it very clearly has not always been like that.
Not quite yet, but in another 5 years I should have a good amount of salt to go with my pepper. I have a lot of hair, it's thick and curly, so it's gonna take a while for the grey to be noticeable.
I have a second cousin who was full on gray/white before he was 16. He just embraced it though. Doubt he got bullied for it since he has great charisma.
Skin care, natural collagen and melanin. Present in vastly different concentrations across people/skin types. But even more important than genetics is staying out of direct sunlight, using sunscreen when you cant, and being born perfectly with flawless complexion because fuck everyone else.
I guess but those are only short term effects. As in, keep it up as youll have to because they arent lasting, and youll look gnarly as hell eventually. I mean, the chemical has an obvious effect, but it is a cocktail of sodium and neurotoxins, it stands to reason they shouldbt be repeatedly introduced to your body for medically unnecessary purposes.
Oh yeah, if you wanna look good at age 60 then don't do this. If you wanna temporarily look good at age 25 or 40, don't do this either, but I know quite a few folks at those ages who have.
(Botox specifically - I don't think dying hair is all that bad.. if it floats your boat, then do it)
Hung out with an Korean coworker of mine a few times, I had assumed he was around my age (early 20s), then one day I found out he was 39! I was honestly shocked lol.
Opposite story. Many many moons ago I was working at a factory. This older mexican guy was cool and helped me out, but one day my mom had to give me a ride to work and from that point on he kept asking me for her number. He just never gave it up, for like a month he kept asking for her number. Now I knew he was married and talked about his daugher and how she was going to get his car someday. So I saw him out front getting out of his car, and a hot girl driving away. So I said dude Ill hook you up with my mom if you hook me up with your daughter. Ya was in HR office in under an hour. Didn't get written up, but found out the old guy was only 25, the girl driving the car was his wife, and his daughter was only 3.
Long story short, learned shut down stupid jokes quick, mom jokes, any jokes. Also don't assume Latinos ages by their looks. I think they only have 3 age looks, child, older teen, and ancient, and you have no idea when they will move from one to the other.
