Is good skin genetic?

Sorry I've not done a post in forever!

So I thought I'd talk about skin & whether it's all in your genes.

This is a photo of my nan on her birthday on Sunday. I don't know if I'm biased but I think her skin is just completely amazing.

I don't think she looks a day over 70 when in fact she is 86! Madness or what?!

She had a massive stroke about 3 years ago & even though she's now blind & can't use her left arm she always makes sure she puts her make up on in the morning. Her make up is always flawless, I suppose that's 70 years of application practice for you.
There was an incident where she accidentally put lip liner on her eyebrows but we laugh about that now!

I'm 25 & although my skin isn't as good as hers but there's no way I look my age. So I'm hoping that I've got the youthful looking skin from her. My mum is 57 & also has radiant young looking skin.

If I even look half as good as my nan when I'm 86 I'll be bloody chuffed!

  1. Your nan looks fantastic for her age! My Nana is 80 (I think!) and she looks so much younger- definately hope I follow in her footsteps!
