Anyone watch Melissa55 on Youtube? This is one woman who truly does look younger than her age. http://jezebel.com/this-60-year-old-hot-southern-grandma-is-your-new-youtu-1724189174

I think you will get a variety of responses. How old do YOU think she looks?

I just happened to see her on YouTube yesterday. Watched some of the video.

I like how she made faces to show that she hasn't done Botox or gotten fillers.

As to her age? Since I already knew, I was just curious. She looked younger on the left side of the screen with makeup & glare on her face. On the right side where she was doing her cleansing routine, she looks like an older woman. I wouldn't say she looks decades younger like the headline proclaimed, just an aging woman who has some lines,  good skin tone & is a photogenic woman. She has a nice neck. When I'm sitting down the base of my throat looks like I'm sucking in air. It's puckered & wrinkled. Gross.

Very pretty woman but to me she looks like someone in her mid to late 50's, so yes, a few years younger than her years, but certainly no more than that.

She's very pretty. I'd say she could pass for 50. She uses very good skincare. Smiley Happy

I think she is very pretty and looks younger than 60.

 

IMO, she looks in her early 40s. I ask my son who is 26 and he said she looks 43. I think people have an unrealstic view of aging.  I know people in their 20s with lines.

I like her and think she is very pretty, for ANY age! It would be interesting to see how she looked in her twenties. She may be one of those very, very few women who actually look better in their later years than they did when they were younger because they:

 

(1) Have great genes;

(2) Have figured out what works and what does not work for them; and,

(3) Have worked hard to keep their figure.

 

I watched one of her videos where she explained her diet, and it is fairly strict. One of her rules, which I try very hard to stick to also, is NEVER eating anything after a fairly early dinner. She says she gains weight easily and has celiac disease and eats a fairly simple diet. She also has an interesting exercise video which is pretty "doable" for almost anyone.

 

I am trying to grow my hair longer, so seeing a woman of my age with long hair is an inspiration. She looks amazing with it! I intend mostly to wear mine up for the sake of convenienc,e which she does at times as well.

 

As best I can figure, she uses mostly Obagi skin care, which I have tried and was not overly impressed with for MY skin. She does seem to try different things at different times. I think you will be entertained by her, but not overwhelmed. She doesn't seem to do a tremendous number of videos.

She looks 60.  She certainly doesn't look like she's 39.  She easily looks like a 60 year old who takes care of her body, maintains her weight and knows her way around the makeup counter.
