Lie About Your Age And Hide Neck Wrinkles

It’s a strange thing being single and a skin care expert. By a matter of habit you are instantly looking at people’s skin and analyzing the pitfalls. While you cannot ever express to your date or your friends that you are doing so, without exception you are. The hard part is that when you meet people for first time, you notice the sagging skin under their eyes, the subtle crow’s feet that are forming and the onset of deep, established wrinkles caused by repetitive motions, and right then they say they are 24. If there is one person in the bar you can’t lie to about your age, it’s me. It’s situations like this that made me look further into the relationship between being single and wrinkle creams.

We all understand the pressures of being a bit older and being single. Not only do you want to meet someone to spend your time with, it seems that every year the crowd is getting a little younger and less wrinkled than you. How is a middle aged, or early 30’s, person supposed to compete? Should they be upfront with potential suitors or should they lie about their age? The answer seems to vary quite a bit from person to person.

As a skin care expert, I am only going to weigh in, in this regard. If you are going to lie about your age, be sure you look the part. When I say look the part, what I am really saying is do not say that you are 24 if look 38. I understand that at one point in your life, you were attractive and you may even still get compliments about how good you look. But it is important to be honest with yourself. In your heart of hearts you know that you don’t look 24. I have a friend who had a dilemma just like this, and sharing the situation maybe educational for readers.

My friend is by all standards an attractive woman. She has a great body, and from any distance she would attract attention. But when you look at her skin, I mean reeealllly look at it, you can see her age. A big giveaway is her loose neck skin and those neck wrinkles. For a skin care expert you are constantly examining peoples skin, and it is easier to spot each flaw, something that I can honestly say I wish I could “turn off.” My friend, however, was playing the odds, and after a few cocktails she was speaking with another friend of mine, also a skin care expert, and she happened to lie about her age. Normally, this would come off without any reaction from me, however considering the situation, something had to be said. And without completely destroying anyone’s confidence, we pointed out how an expert would look at skin, and how age could be determined from those criteria.

The point behind this is you never know who you are speaking to, and while I understand the urge to lie to people about your age, especially in bars or when you are trying to find companionship, you need make your claims believable. I understand that you want to be 24 again, but you’re not. You do not look 24 at all if you have any indications of aging. What you need to do is to purchase some wrinkle creams, minimize the damage and refine your lies. No one is saying you have to tell the truth, but let’s make the lie a smaller lie, a more believable one. One that you can explain, should the relationship work. Age is not nearly as important to people as you may think, but good skin is. Be sure to balance the two, and remember it has been years since you looked 24, and all the wrinkle cream in the world won’t make you look like that again, so lie accordingly.
