I got the reverse...

Most people think I am around 30. Thinking I am 6-7 years younger.

Does that help to reduce bags/ dark circles under the eye? Coz if it does I might start doing that...

Yep! :) Exactly why I started doing it tbh lol

Yay! I've had darkish bags under my eyes for the last couple of days and I was gonna research solutions that didn't involve buying a cucumber and sitting in the same spot for ages with slices on my eyes and now I don't have to. I have a huge pot of coconut oil already so that's an ideal solution. Thanks!

I would definitely say younger. If I tried to pass as a boy (or man as I am 32), peeps would think I'm 20, I think. But I prolly can't pass as a man, only a girl who wants to be a boy. Anyhoos, most of the posters hit the mark: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Oh, and exfoliate. I'd throw in a good drug store facial/exfoliant mask once a week. Something like a Freeman Feeling Beautiful Clay Mask. Though I lovelovelove all their masks.

It's funny cause lately my skin care routine has gone out the window. I moisturize (with Neutrogena, ugh), and I have one of those rotating exfoliaters from ProX (but not the actual facial cleanser). In fact, I have no facial cleanser. This topic is so timely, as just yesterday I was thinking I need to work more (I'm a freelance writer/editor) instead of spending every waking second with the BF, all so I can buy a good mask, a good cleanser and a good moisturizer.

I used to be the senior editor for this niche woman's magazine back in 2004-2010 and I worked for another in 2013. But the first one used to send me boatloads of makeup and beauty products, like this microdermabrasion kit that for the life of me I can't find on the market. It worked wonders. I edited the beauty section so I had first dibs and all dibs come to think on everything. I shared a lot of it with my mom.

Yet, now, my mom claims I used to be this uber-masculine person. Yeah, uber masculine peeps spend all their time reviewing beauty products and writing about pregnancy, breastfeeding and uteruses. Most guys would have quit this job in an instant, as talking and having people write about periods isn't exactly "man's work." Sorry, I'm rambling I'll shut up now,
