These Women Are 63, 40, 41 And 36 Years Old. See If You Can Guess Correctly

Lure Hsu is an interior designer and fashion blogger who stunned millions of people because of her youthful looks. Guess Lure Hsu’s age? 47! Yet, she looks like she’s in her 20s. She’s one of the young-looking old people who are blessed with great skin. But is genetics the only factor in her youthful looks?

In Lure Hsu’s case, age-defying genes seem to run in the family. Lure’s two sisters, Sharon (42) and Fayfay (46), both also look like they’re college students in their 20s. Not to mention their mother! She is a retired dancer, who could easily be mistaken as their sister, but it turns out she’s 69. Taiwanese media called these young-looking old people ‘the family of frozen ages.’

These Taiwanese women look so young you’d never believe their real ages.

Here they are with their 46-year-old sister Fayfay.

Is It Possible to Start Looking Younger?

So what are these old people who look young doing differently? In an interview with a popular Taiwanese magazine, Lure revealed that the key to youthful looks is to drink water and eat vegetables. So, basically, a healthy lifestyle. She also pointed out the importance of moisturizing your skin: “once your skin has enough water, you don’t even need to worry about aging and wrinkles.”

Similarly to Lure, sister Fayfay also recommended drinking lots of water, including a big glass of lukewarm water every morning. “I have been doing that for more than a decade,” Fayfay said. “I drink 350 ml to 500 ml.”

Science agrees. A recent study by Lancet reveals that proper hydration can slow down aging and prolong a disease-free life.

Lure’s sister Fayfay also recommends drinking lots of water, including a big glass of lukewarm water every morning.

    How Can You Look 20 Years Younger Naturally?

    Looking 20 years younger boils down to lifestyle choices and skincare practices. Prioritize a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, drinking plenty of water, and getting adequate sleep. This allows your body to regenerate cells, promoting a more youthful appearance. Avoid harmful habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as they contribute to premature aging.

    A consistent skincare routine is also crucial. Cleansing and moisturizing protect the skin from developing fine lines. And let’s not forget sunscreen, which helps you avoid nasty sunburns and protects your skin from aging.

    And finally, a good diet. Asian diets are rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. That’s why so many people have a hard time telling apart Japanese old and young people. They all seem to have age-defying skin!

    So there you have it! The secret to youthful looks is simpler than you could ever imagine—water (and a good diet)!

    Exactly. The key is having the right genetics. Did anyone else notice that not one picture contained "water and vegetables," considering how much they referenced that as the key? Sugary, over sized ice cream, Starbucks coffee, and sandwiches appear to be the ticket.

    There's no doubt that these are beautiful and youthful women. But some of these photos have been airbrushed to such an extreme that they're skewing our perception of expected natural aging, and that probably ain't healthy.

    I work with Asian people and I do agree that they look way younger than other people, BUT, these pictures are not reliable. Too many filters
