I am totally obsessed about looking younger than my age. I absolutely love it when people tell me I look like in my mid twenties, when I am actually 30. I am so obsessed that my future kids would probably volunteer me into one of those makeover reality shows and the stylists will tell me off for dressing up like a teenager.
So it was interesting that I’ve stumbled upon an article at Scrubsmag.com entitled “Waking up Looking Younger.” Yeah, it's not just for people who wear Scrubs, ok? There were 5 simple steps there and I already follow most of them, so I guess I’m on the right track. The only thing I don’t do is exfoliate my lips and (this is embarrassing) the one about grooming stray hairs.
Since I had been doing 3 out 5, I guess I was doing well so far. I do have trouble sleeping at times, though, but I try to get as much shut-eye as possible. They didn’t call it beauty sleep for nothing. The skin gets very dry and dull when you lack sleep, you see.
One thing that’s also important apart from the 5 steps is to always use sunscreen or sunblock, especially during summer. It helps put off wrinkles.

Oh gosh...seems like once we reach our mid twenties we usually find great pleasure when people think we're younger than we actually are. It's funny how back in the days, we used to play dress up and want to look older, more mature. Now it's the exact opposite. My birthday is coming up but this year since I'll be turning 25, I decided when updating my social networking profiles, I'll be turning back the hands of time by making myself 2 years younger. lols...ssshhh...that's our little secret.
