10 years younger...captured

I have always been big on sunscreen. I cant tan anyway and personally I think that real tans are over-rated. I know, lets all bake ourselves stupid so as to avoid slapping on St Tropez for a WHOLE 2 WEEKS?!wow! So I slap on sunscreen on my face on a daily basis. Factor 85 to be exact. (now I will admit that this is a bit extreme but it just so happens that a non comedermogenic sunscreen is hard to find!!) I am conducting an experiment on myself, I plan to compare myself to my sun worshiper friends in about 10years and see if this extreme measure has rendered me with fewer wrinkles and crows feet! Lancet here I come, watch this space!
But I have soft evidence to believe that this is already working. The most recent event happened just the other day when I was mistaken for my sister, who is 10 years my junior. In the past I have been mistaken for anything from between 5-8 years younger than I actually am but 10 is the best so far. When I was 19 years old a horrible woman marched up to me at a function and sneered at me when I told her that I was 19 and snorted that I looked about 13. I took comfort in the fact that she was probably comparing me to her daughter, who was also at the function and who, at 15 was tatooed, pierced and make-uped to within an inch of her life. Give me looking 6 years younger any day!!
So clearly none of this has anything to do with genes, environment etc, it is all to do with sunscreen....feel like applying it anyone?!
