You're right, too. A lot of sun, I guess too much, will age the skin. I remember in our 20's meeting a friend's cousin who's family owned a beach club. She had worked outside there all her young life and in her early 20's her face looked at least in the 40's, maybe more.

BTW no joke, I remember Liberace saying his face remained young because he coated it with vaseline every night before bed.

It’s not just “too much sun” - it’s any sun. I avoid the midday sun, wear hats, sunscreen, like shade much better than sun, and my face still shows wear from everyday exposure. If you’ve physically cared for an old person - eighties, nineties - the unexposed parts of their skin look decades younger.

So I’d rather not make my face the sacrificial vitamin D source - still haven’t convinced my children, who don’t see much point in investing in their forties.

Those of us with naturally oily skin, don’t wrinkle as much as others do. When I was younger and complained to my doctor about being so oily he told me that I would be glad when I was older and he was right. I am 67 and have no wrinkles, a few laugh lines but no wrinkles no crowsfeet.
