How do I become young again?
| are you seriously asking this on the board for teenage/young adult NEET weebs who fantasies about traps?
| >>192111 Of course I do, MtFs tend to be well-read on these topics and they have tried estrogen themselves. Also I don't think there are only young people here. I'm pretty old by your standards ... 25 y.o.
| I am 27 and I look 21 simply by not smiling so that I never develop pronounced nasolabial creases. Try it sometime.
Also a high-fat diet. (Natural fats not vegetable oil in ypur ramen, bake)
|
| mental health, for the most part.
| >>192132
My life is not stress-free in the least, but yes my genes help. Without decent genetics, though, OP is a lost cause anyway and may as well go builtdwarf or daddy-mode.
| >>192146 I'm tired of being a daddy tbh, and I'm too young for this, it just so happened.
I don't want to believe on lost causes yet, I think there are some drugs to unroll some aspects of age. Paleo diet -ok, will read about it once more.
| Human aging is actually ridiculously complicated. In theory preventing oxidation by free radicals, the destruction of senesent cells, and avoiding external toxins/mutagens should completely stop undesirable effects of aging.
In practice the best you can do is eat healthy, drink water, stay out of the sun, and above all else exercise. A bazillion studies showed exercise the counteract many of the undesirable effects of aging.
| >>192177 This is a half-truth and a bit of a lie (>should completely stop undesirable effects of aging. ) - see, youth is implemented as continuing healing\regeneration, and this involves cells dividing, and this involves random mutations when copying DNA... Also there are some drugs that slow down ageing (metformin) and diet (like you said - healthy and calorie-restricted and moderate exercise) - work too.Also lowering stress and inflammation.But our modern lifestyle is stressful
| I'm 30 and apparently look 20. I avoid the sun whenever possible and use sunscreen and do skincare after every shower.
| >>156d50 I use a royal pearl face mask after every shower, it also comes with enough serum to cover your chest and arms as well. I use a good lotion for the rest, no scented ones or anything. Coconut butter might even be good. I also keep a hand cream and lotion in places like the car and use them frequently. I use witch hazel or acne pads to clean my face at night and keep my eyebrows even. Lack of sun from wearing long sleeves and using sunblock has also made my skin a lot paler.
| Damn,.some of you are 27, even 30? Suddenly I don't feel so old at 25 here.
What kind of exercise would you suggest?
| You die. You may be reborn into the new body. Probably not though let's be honest.
| >>193539 Don't do heavy exercise, do cardio: pushups, planks, squats, a bit of running or bicycling
| Not to say you're shallow as a person, but you're looking for only the shallowest expressions of youuth. A youthful appearance, youthful emotions, and youthful mind are just symptoms of a stage in your life, not a goal to be aimed for.
Instead live healthy, keep active. Preening has never fixed anything.
This is coming from someone who also is struggling through these same concerns and I'm only 21 (I started balding this year and that kicked it off)
| Also hormones fuck up your arteries and bones, and other drugs are often placebos or worse.
I will admit though, besides buying the cream, skin care is always an easy good idea and totally something to go for.
| >>194270 I don't like how you and other people rationalize predictable decay as "stages of life". Also as a post-intellectual I'm ok with "shallow" yet objective and quantifiable properties. I admit that humans have varying quality and this quality decays with time by default (I'm susceptible to this as well, I admit). I think that many people, given a choise, would choose to stay themselves (i.e. young) forever instead of opting-in for decay and rationalizing behavior.
| >>194460
The problem is that you're assuming 1) That the process you are now going through is decay rather than a new form of growth
And
2) That this growth (or even this decay if that's what it is) is negative
If this desire and quest makes you happy, pursue it with all your strength by all means.
And I only throw this in because of
the post-intellectual bit: You may choose to avoid thinking about a greater meaning to life than youth, but that doesn't mean you can escape time
| (I totally agree that most people would choose to live a youthful life forever by the way, but this isn't something we can do yet and an obsession which you can only progress further from fulfilling is surely a route to unhappiness)
| Why is this a debate now? OP wanted beauty tips
| Take a photo
| 25 is not an age to think about these things. You're still young you know
| >>194727 25 is most definitely an age to think about these things. You need to start young if you want to be the 45 year old mom that still looks 21

| Is there a way to restore my youthfulness: skin quality, brain neuroplasticity, emotional depth?
Are there at least ways to mimic some aspects of becoming younger? E.g. SSRIs for emotions, some working nootropics/stimulants for general cognition, something for skin (I have read that estrogen and anti-androgens have a pronounced anti-ageing effect, are there less wide-acting alternatives?)
