Heads up
Our society has waaaaay to many products to sell people who worry about things they cant change.
"For guys my age, investing in your face is less of a priority than investing in a house or car," says Josh Levitt, a 23-year-old in Laguna Beach, Calif. Still, even he has started using anti-aging products at the urging of his mother, who wants him to preserve his "golden boy" looks, as she puts it.
That's one strange relationship there.
Vanity is one of the Seven Deadlies for a reason, people.
Old, wrinkled and knarly is called "character". No thanks on the snake oil, I'll spend my money on a decent gym.
pssst...
No 80-year-old looks 20. Get some internal grace, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Better they should apply themselves to fighting liberalism.
A mild bit of vanity seems ok to me. My wife, a 48 yr old grandmother, can pass for <35 if she dyes her hair a bit. And I run a lot and try with marginal success to keep the fat from piling up.
But plastic surgery or covering yourself in creams seems awfully silly. One of the things I admired about Audrey Hepburn is that she aged. Which is better than the Mary Tyler Moore death mask approach.
Hey, Xers! Guess what!?
You're all dead meat! You'll be rotting in the ground (unless you choose a funeral pyre or a cremation) just as all who came before you have.
And it's going to be an absolute scandal what they are going to charge you for a gravesite 50 or 60 years hence.
People who are scared of aging...tsk, tsk. Let nature take its course. If you are 50, you are 50. Doesn't mean you have to look it, by all means, take care of yourself, but don't try to reverse nature's course.
Unless this guy's cream has sunscreen in it, there's absolutely nothing that he can do to prevent aging, only cover its effects.
Well, maybe getting plenty of antioxidants and taking fish oil. Outside of that, staying fit and eating well is probably the best that you can do.
I'm so glad I'm one of those 'old-fashioned' guys who doesn't give a crap about stuff like this. It's fine for women use some of these products, IMO. I hope they wouldn't obsess about it too much.
