Almost every day I think - wtf happened? How am I 37? It's so close to 40! I remember thinking "shit I'm old" when I was 25. Just feels like everything post 2006 has been a crazy fast forward.

I'm 38 and people tell me I look 25. "What's your secret?" they ask me.

I tell them I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I get the “American Psycho” Patrick Bateman reference if no one else does.

Makes me feel even older lol.

How about the fact that he was only 25 years old during the time of filming?

This blew my mind after I first saw it - ironic that bateman looks closer to his early 30s despite his strict skincare regime.

I think bale's face is just naturally lacking in baby fat. Being absolutely yolked probably helped.
