I'm 52 and am regularly thought to be much younger than I am -- most people think I'm in my mid 30's. At the pool today, a couple of women were getting friendly (silly women!) and asked how old I was when I mentioned I have a 22 year old son and 20 year old daughter. I told them and their mouths dropped open.
What do I attribute it to? Well, genes helps. My dad and his brothers looked young well into their 70's and 80's (my uncle still had few gray hairs when he was in his late 70's.).
I have naturally oily skin which was a pain when I was going through puberty...fighting zits. But the oil keeps my skin moist and keeps wrinkles away....
I go out in the sun but use sunscreen and moisturizers. I have a special wash from dermotologica and follow with an exfoliating cleanser. I use a wipe to close the pores when I finish in the shower and then apply a moisturizer and added one for around my eyes.
I have noticed a few frown wrinkles; maybe I'll have to have some botox....
It also helps having a 27 year old partner who keeps me young -- rowing, running, biking, sex...lol!
