48 Signs That Made People Realize They Are Getting Old

When I was in college, I took a stage makeup class. I don’t remember much that I learned, but I do remember the teacher telling us, just as a useful life tip, to use a face moisturizer with sunscreen every single day. If we started doing this when we were young, she said, we would be glad of it when we were older.

Did I listen? Of course not! How could you imagine I would be that responsible and look that far ahead? So I was not careful about my skin, and now that I’m older, I’m absolutely paying the price. I just try not to look at myself in harsh lighting conditions.
