Feeling younger than you look is totally normal—it’s called the “age illusion,” and it happens because our self-image is rooted in our memories, not our current appearance. Aging is natural, but stress, lack of sleep, and dehydration can make it more visible. Boost your reflection’s glow by drinking plenty of water, using sunscreen, and incorporating a retinol-based skincare routine. Don’t forget, confidence and happiness are the ultimate beauty tricks. Your energy and zest for life are what people notice most—so keep smiling, because that’s truly timeless.
