    Cigarettes, and sunlight.

    The amount of damage sunlight can do to your skin if you don’t use appropriate protection, is astonishing.

      While true, our skin’s still pretty tough in our 20s no matter what, plenty of collagen and such. I know this is partly lucky genes, but I was as baby-faced as Holland at 29 and I smoked heavily and had no care for sun protection. At 55, I still have little care for sun protection as I have to spend all day on the water, in the summer, to get even slightly pink.
