Almost 50-Year-Old Mom Looks So Young That People Think She’s Son’s Girlfriend, Now She Reveals Her Secrets
Is it possible to look half your age? Most definitely! And Liu Yelin is walking proof.
The Asian mom of one who rarely wears makeup is nearly 50 years old yet looks so young people think her 22-year-old son is her boyfriend. Without a wrinkle in sight and a super-toned body, Liu is constantly stunning people with her looks. “People are often shocked to find out I’m almost 50,” Liu Yelin (49) told Mail Online. “Whenever I went shopping and told people my real age, I often got mobbed by strangers who wanted to find out my beauty secrets.”
So, what is that secret of hers on how to look younger? Regular exercise for three decades. “I swim in the lake and do weight training every day,” she said. “My favorite thing is swimming outdoors in winter.” In fact, Liu has swum across the Yangtse River in China and the Han River in South Korea. And last year, she swam from the shores of Penang, Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca – that’s a whopping 7.45 miles in just 4 hours! Pretty impressive, huh? The super-fit Asian beauty now has over 75k followers on a Chinese social media site called Weibo and lives by the motto: “If you think you look rough, that’s because you haven’t sweated enough.”

Maybe people wouldn't think your son is your boyfriend if you weren't posing with your son like he's your boyfriend? Just a thought.

I don't know... I guess she won the genetic lottery because swimming every day won't keep you from getting wrinkles - in your face.

In fact being in the sun plus the sun that is reflected off the water can not be good for your skin.
