I’d like to add regular exercise. I’m 50 and had been not so active for a while but in the past year I’ve been cycling or running daily. I’ve also decided that alcohol has no benefit to my health or finances and rid myself of that habit. Funny how I get people noticing that I look better now. I also feel better. One more addition is to have a life. So many guys around my age go to work and when they get home they crack open a brewski and hang out in front of the television or scroll endlessly. Not much engagement in the outside world or with personal interests. That in and of itself is a real game changer.

Facial hair - I keep mine neat, closely cropped, on my own effort. When I go to the hair salon, my stylist always puts her touch on my beard, doing a little bit of extra trimming. Eyebrow, nose and ear hair is something that my stylist is picky about. She always gives attention to this. I do some on my own, but again she is really attentive to this. Nails - I have a reminder on my google calendar to trim my nails every Sunday evening. I had been dying my hair and beard, but after listening to a couple other KZbinrs on this, and talking to my stylist, I have let my hair and beard go gray. My beard is now completely gray. I do use an eye cream around my eyes for wrinkles, and an occasional use of moisturizing cream on my face and neck. For volume in my hair, I use a product called HIMS. It does give extra volume. Teeth - I brush at least twice a day, sometimes 3 times a day. My mouth feels better when I keep my teeth clean. I also use a waterpik. Fragrance - I found a cologne that I have had compliments on. Currently, I am wearing Mont Blanc Explorer. My hair stylist is always complimenting me on my cologne. She says, "You really smell good!".

I've been told that I could pass for 40, been told that I look like I'm 70 and been called 50. I'm currently 33. I do need to get back to the dentist. My biggest issues are my hands. Dry, sensitive skin runs in the family; my hands have gotten dried up to the point that they're cracked up and bleeding. I do put lotion on my hands before I go to bed. What I'm looking for is a moisturizer that I can put on my hands but also dries instantaneously, but no such luck yet.

I think exercise is very important. I just turned 57 and I wasn't exercising regularly for a while. I started going to the gym 3-5 times per week earlier this year. Apart from improving my overall shape, I find that it has made my face look younger because it's now a bit thinner and toned, and I have more energy. However, I also recognize that, if taken to extremes, this can make a guy look much older. Some of these super athletic older guys do look ancient! But then it becomes a personal choice; cute-looking or ripped.

Good evening, Miss Courtney! I would love to see you go down the "Fitness and Health" path. So, one vote for "yes". And, to the mature gentlemen in the audience, if I may add a comment (or two). I am 57 and half way to 58. I started using a skin care program after I turned 50. I really wish that I would have started before that....but I did not. All I can say there is - if you have not already started thinking about this, please do. And, take action on these thoughts. I started with "Alpha" (aka, Tiege Hanley, aka Aaron). It was so simple and so easy. Practically idiot-proof. For full transparency, I no longer use that product, but that is because it really burned my eyes. That is very likely a "me-problem". The results - while I was using it - were nothing short of miraculous. So, if you are suffering from "analysis to paralysis" (due to the 1,000 of choices out there) then take advantage of the discount that this wonderful woman is making available. I say with confidence - and personal experience with this product - that you will not regret this decision. Look forward to your future videos, Miss Courtney. You are a treasure-trove of information.

[@yunggolem4687]

1. Lip balms are actually drying to your lips if they're petroleum based. Dry lips means you're dehydrated, just get a high quality water bottle & keep water with you at all times, make it a habit to drink regularly. If you really need a boost just rub a dab of coconut oil on, let it sit for 20s then wipe off the excess. 2. Sunscreens have a lot of poorly studied chemicals in them with extremely long names & not much track record of human use. Most likely a lot of them have subtle side effects, much like the endocrine disrupting chemicals that used to be in them. I wouldn't go slathering on the sunscreen everyday. Just wear clothing that protects from the sun when it's sunny & save the sunscreen for areas you can't adequately protect with typical clothing styles or a hat. Backs of hands/arms, back of neck, nose/lower face, etc. Same is true of many lotions, be careful what you're spreading over the largest organ on your body, your skin. Most of this stuff is of questionable value compared to just staying hydrated & protecting from the sun with clothing. 3. A thicker/larger, but well shaped beard actually makes you look better as you age. Over 50 it does a lot to hide many signs of aging. This is one of the main advantages older man have vs older women when it comes to looking good. I say let some grey go into your beard over 50, but if it goes all grey, consider partially dying it & leaving some grey as an accent. 4. Avoid spraying "fragrance" directly on your skin. Put it on your clothing instead. Reduces skin absorption considerably. 5. Sleep. High quality sleep is actually the #1 factor for the scientifically measurable aging markers. 6. Diet. A lot people get bloated & stretched out from poor diet as they age. Keep your diet under control, keep the inflammatory foods down & lean toward anti-inflammatory foods more as you age like fish & vegetables. Cut down on carbs & saturated fats. This makes a huge difference in your appearance, esp when you cut back on carbs & excess salt, you will stop retaining loads of water & stop looking puffy. 7. Exercise/posture. How you sit, stand, & move communicates far more about your age than anything else (and controls how old you feel more than anything else). Doing posture training & exercising through a full range of motion will make you feel & act much younger than your age. This is one of the most neglected factors for people as they age. Even if they get exercise, they tend to settle into doing certain exercises certain ways through a limited range of motion instead of reducing volume/weight & using the full range of motion. This is really the most important thing, if you feel & move like you're 30 when you're 50, people really notice, even if they don't call it out. 8. Quit smoking & minimize drinking. One beer here there won't hurt much, but I suggest not buying any cheap alcohol anymore. If you can get a case of cheap or a six pack of higher end bottles, get the higher end bottles & space them out. Same goes for wine & liquor. Get the good stuff & drink less of it. Preferably make it a rare treat or quit entirely.

Yeah sunscreen is out for me. Your skin needs the vitamin D, and you have a greater chance of skin cancer from all of the chemicals you're slathering all over your body. Just be smart about how long you are in direct sunlight.

Something I noticed that has transformed my chances with women is just asking them multiple questions at a time. They will see that as effort and pursuing you. Also me getting rid of selfies and having my family or friends take pictures of me on dating apps works a lot better than weird selfie angles. Also let them know you are emotional mature to go get help in therapy and you don't get too down on yourself. Double, triple text if she enjoys you talking to her. I juts try to use a 3mm on my beard trimmer and shave the neck so I have no neck beard.
