For real. When I can get my skin to clear up, people guess my age accurately. When I have a breakout, I get carded for beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.

Looking young isn't the be all, end all imo. I prefer to look my age. As I get wiser and more experienced and know myself better, I develop white hairs and fine lines and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Ooo yeah good point. Smoking is another big one that makes people look older quicker.

Ah I see! If sensory issues are impeding your desire to protect your skin while outdoors, (it’s not a perfect solution or substitution but) have you/can you use a lined umbrella? It might look strange to use when the weather is clear and sunny in some parts (like here in the US) but I know for a fact there are droves of people that do just this in China and Japan.

Thanks for the tip! I usually use wide brimmed hats to protect myself. I dont go out in the sun that much anyway, I dislike the sun as well. Some days, I can manage some sunscreen, but the only one that works for me is pretty expensive.
