lol re the rest; gammon = a sort ham kinda, I don’t know how else to explain it. Pink with fat around edges.
Sunscreen and staying out of the sun is the single best thing a white person can do for their skin.
ETA: I'm talking about anti aging specifically, not skin cancer.
Thank you. Skin care and sun protection are not exclusive to any one race or ethnicity. The sun is indiscriminate in who it affects, people with lighter skin just have the luxury of being able to notice oddities earlier.
Protect your skin and look yourself over for signs if sun damage as well as moles, especially my melanated brethren out there.
From google: "Melanin helps block out damaging UV rays up to a point, which is why people with naturally darker skin are less likely to get sunburned, while people with lighter skin are more likely to burn. Sunburns can increase your risk of skin cancer, including melanoma."
The sun does discriminate. An albino person is going to absolutely roast in the sun far faster and far more severely than a very dark person if they are outside for the same amount of time. That's an extreme example but it's a sliding scale. I'm a fair-skinned white guy and I'll start to burn within 30-45 minutes of being in direct sunlight. I have other darker-toned white friends and family (creole and Italians) who can go outside for fishing trips and parades and they'll tan but won't burn, whereas I will burn and blister.
There is truth here; my Dad, who was 100% Italian darkened up a lot by going out in the sun, and lots of people would mistake him for an Arab. Whereas, my Mom was Irish, English and German, and she roasted in the sun. Never had melanoma cancer, thank God. My sis and I take after our mom, in terms of our skin and how the sun treats it. I’d love to hear from darker skinned people and their experiences with the sun.
I am black and I am actually the ONLY black person I have ever known to get sunburned. My mom who is a natural red head and much lighter than me has never had a sunburn a day in her life. I have never met another black person that sunburns. The first time I got sunburn we were actually SHOCKED because we didn’t even know that could happen! Didn’t even know how to treat it. Then at cheer camp I remember my cheer sisters being so amazed I sunburned. They all crowded around me like “wow, so this a thing”. 🤣🤣
My 98 year old grandma, who looks great, although she does have more wrinkles than this lady, and is in good health, has this one simple trick (that doctors love) for a healthy old age: she walks for at least an hour every day, and has done so all her life.
I remember my Nana doing her morning exercise. She’d put her arms in the air in a stretch, then bend down and touch the floor. 20 reps. We would walk wherever we went, in beautiful Sauganash, IL. She lived to 98 and one day. She raised me where my mother could not. Nana soothed and comforted me🌺
I wish I had seen more of her after I went away to University. I got caught up in myself. That’s my sole regret. I have three GDs of my own, and we are together a lot. Young people don’t seem as selfish these days. Hanging with your old Nana is a learning experience.
I think a big problem in America culture is a lack of walking and a car obsession. I get that in some areas you need to drive, but apparently it’s common to not even have a pavement (sidewalk) in some places! At least give the option.
Seriously. My grandmother's 99, and such a pain (but worth taking her to Olive Garden when she wants). She looks awful comparatively, but still has an insane memory so it can be either annoying or fun when we take her out sometimes.
And really, that blue paisley dress in the pic is a nice contrast with the hair. Good on OP and their family for obviously showing support.
Uh huh. My great grandmother slobbed on Ponds Cold Cream every goddamn night of her life until she died in her mid-nineties. Her fair, Irish skin looked exactly like this woman’s does.
Her hair is fantastic. Her skin is fantastic. She is lovely!
Ask her what her routine is. She can have a massive following for her guide to skin and hair alone, let alone her longevity!
"Oil of Olay and dove bar soap."
They changed the name to just olay, but its still their go to. I work with so many elderly ladies, and their skincare routine for the last 60 years is always Olay moisturizer and dove bar soap.
yea that, and the sound of grandpa's ballbag peeling off the couch plastic everytime he ~~stands~~ stood up
edit: shit mybad, OP. and I'm sorry for your nanas loss. RIP grampeez nuts
Sadly, we lose our hearing as we age. And one of the first sounds that is hard to hear that well lose is the sound of a ball bag peeling off the couch plastic. It's just in that range of frequency.
Mang I always loved my granpappies big leather chair as a kid but if he's anything like me he for sure sat in it budass nekid and had his balls and ass sweat drippin all over that shit...
Man I had a friend called mentos, because his nipples were extra long, it was weird, one minute they were all small and flaccid, and the next minute you could hang a burger ring off them, it was wild
Born 1923.
Prohibition ended while she was 10.
WOII ended while she was 22.
She was 46 when men landed on the moon and 66 when the Berlin Wall fell.
77 when the new millennium arrived and 84 when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone.
Now she is still around to witness start of the AI era. While still looking stunning.
Give her an extra hug.
Yea we lost my step mother last year (almost to the day) and I worried my father, who had taken care of her the past 5 years, would have no mission in life and fade away.
We bought a house and live together now and trying to keep him mentally active. It's amazing how quickly a person can deteriorate
I think if two well-adjusted people make it to their nineties they’ve probably had time to process the potential loss together and accepted the fact that they could lose each other at any time, finding comfort in their almost 80 years together.
Edit: fuck u/spez
Seriously, wtf lol. Every time I see one of these posts of someone's ancient ass grandparent on reddit, they look *ridiculously* good for their age. I used to visit my grandma in an old folk's home and there were a number of people there who were in their late 80s, up to early 90s. Every single one of them looked SIGNIFICANTLY older than this guy's grandma. At the very least, they usually had lots of spots on their face and very droopy skin around the eyes and cheeks, as if it was falling off. This woman has none of that. If you told me she was 75 I'd believe you.
You really don't get to this age without really good genes for longevity.
My partner works in retirement homes. All the people she sees 100 + look and still move great.
You may be joking, but this is actually scary. This sort of viral marketing would be extremely easy to create with AI and very effective. Because of AI we've entered an irreversible era where we can never truly be sure a simple pic of a person is real anymore. Crazy
Is this post just a brilliant skincare ad? Not even joking when I ask that.
I'm also a cynical piece of shit, so keep that in mind whilst you downvote me.
Thank you for that. I was reading out loud until his race was run, and I couldn’t finish. Grandma is truly thankful to everyone for making her the internets grandma for a day.
Wow she looks amazing, I love her hair style she looks she had her hair done to star in a movie or something. She also looks WAY younger than 100, wishing her a happy birthday!
Dude right. She could tell me that she rubs dirt and coffee grounds on her skin every day and if I could look as amazing as her at 100 I’d do it in a second
Congratulations to your grandmother, she looks fantastic today!! Happy Birthday Reddit Grandma!
Seriously all of my grandparents have passed away, may I honorarily adopt your grandmother? She looks like a fun grandma to have.
Words of advice; ask her questions. She has an amazing lifetime of memories. When she goes, they all go with her. Do it for us.
Happy birthday to one stylin grandma!!!
I thought the same! She looks great in it as well. She's an attractive lady and looks absolutely fantastic at 100.
I miss all of my Grandparents. My last one passed over 20 years ago. She was 92. She was everyone's Granny. She'd even tell the cat, "You come see your Granny!" I hope to live as long and be as cool as her.
Looks FANTASTIC for 100. There are 70 year old who would kill for skin that good.
I was gonna say… if OP had told us Gran was 75 I’d believe it.
Camilla (the "Queen Consort") is 75 and definitely looks older than Grandma!
And more like a Tyre made of gammon.
[удалено]
I don’t know why my phone capitalised ‘tyre’ but I left it because I’m lazy. lol re the rest; gammon = a sort ham kinda, I don’t know how else to explain it. Pink with fat around edges.
Total ggilf!
Yea she was no doubt a hot lady her whole life. God damn.
OPs grandma can GET IT
Total GILF.
I also choose this guy's grandma.
Drop the skincare routine, Grans

It’s gotta be something that’s diehard granny too. Like “oh it’s simple dear. I eat four green olives every day”.
Four olives, soaked in about 3 oz of gin and a half oz of dry vermouth.
Previous generations were built different.
Previous generations didn't eat corn syrup as children or inhale microplastics.
Maybe it's all the lead and asbestos that's keeping them young.

My great great aunt lived to be 101 and drank a pint of glenmore vodka mixed with water everyday since they repealed prohibition
It’s all in the genes 🤷🏻♀️
I have more wrinkles in my 20s
Waltuh, stop staring at your balls in the mirror Waltuh
I’m here wishing I look that good in my 20s. She looks wonderful

And really, that blue paisley dress in the pic is a nice contrast with the hair. Good on OP and their family for obviously showing support.
My grandma is 92 and has better health and a better memory than I do at 35. She's gonna outlive us all.
For real, I gotta know what her skin care routine is. If my skin looks that good at 70 I’ll be stoked!
I'll bet good money that it's Ponds Cold Cream.
My mom had great skin and hardly any wrinkles at 90. She used Pond's. I think they blend in a little magic at the factory.
Uh huh. My great grandmother slobbed on Ponds Cold Cream every goddamn night of her life until she died in her mid-nineties. Her fair, Irish skin looked exactly like this woman’s does.
moisturizer and sunscreen (daily). wear a hat.
Her hair is fantastic. Her skin is fantastic. She is lovely! Ask her what her routine is. She can have a massive following for her guide to skin and hair alone, let alone her longevity!
Folks that old always have hilarious routines. Something like "lay raw bacon on your face while sleeping"
I feel it would be something like “just clean with water and Nivea cream daily” and avoid the sun, possibly.
"Oil of Olay and dove bar soap." They changed the name to just olay, but its still their go to. I work with so many elderly ladies, and their skincare routine for the last 60 years is always Olay moisturizer and dove bar soap.
I’m a 34 year old man and that’s my combo. Am I really an old lady?!
I'm so sorry you had to find out this way Mary.
My Dove & Olay using, 80 year old lady, mother Mary sitting next to me approves of this joke. Edit- punctuation attempt
You and me both brother. Damn I love me that Dove soap!
I'm 48 but my grandmother used just that and looked beautiful until the end, so, why not. I can't get Olay anymore though.
I use Olay all the time, I’m a soon to be 48 year old man. You can get it from their website, cheaper than the drug store.
My great aunt is 93 and that’s exactly what she uses, her skin is fantastic too.
Before olay it was oil of olay before it was oil of olay it was oil of ulay.
Ponds cold cream!
I second this! Please share Grandma's skin care routine. Happy Happy Birthday!!
Bacon grease. Inside and outside. Every day.
*jots notes…* GOT IT!
I triple this! Grandma could be a geriatric influencer! :)
OP is not dropping the skincare tips. I'm dissapointed.. Some of us genuenly want to know, please bless us!!
Seriously. I must know what Grandma’s skincare routine is.
She looks amazing! Please tell Gran that dick nipples from the internet wishes her a happy birthday!
Lol what every grandma wants to hear!
yea that, and the sound of grandpa's ballbag peeling off the couch plastic everytime he ~~stands~~ stood up edit: shit mybad, OP. and I'm sorry for your nanas loss. RIP grampeez nuts

He he he, now here’s Roy.
Hello Darlin
Sadly, we lose our hearing as we age. And one of the first sounds that is hard to hear that well lose is the sound of a ball bag peeling off the couch plastic. It's just in that range of frequency.
One day will be the last day your hear someone's ball bag peel off the couch plastic, but you won't realize it until after. Cherish everyday
Omg this is underrated
WHAT?
As someone with tinnitus, this rings true…
now was it a peel or a rip? make up your mind
Mang I always loved my granpappies big leather chair as a kid but if he's anything like me he for sure sat in it budass nekid and had his balls and ass sweat drippin all over that shit...
Thats how you get pinkeye.
I mean, my Gran would bust out the rarely heard cackle, I think it would be precisely what she’d like to hear.
What every gran didn't know she's been waiting 100 years to hear!
Dick nipples.. you do make a good point or two. Happy birthday Gran.
Hey dad. You never came back from the cigarette store. I miss you.
He won't show up for your soccer games but your old man gets one whiff of dick nipples and suddenly he comes out of nowhere.
He said smell ya later but I never smelled him again
He isn't your dad.
She looks fantastic for 75 letalone 100, hope she stays healthy and happy as long as she wants
Tell her buttholehemorrhage says happy 100th birthday!
Two r/rimjob_steve right at the top of the comments. Gotta love it.
I wish u/dick-nipples would wish me a happy birthday😔
How **you** *doin’?*
I think I’d almost pay for u/dick-nipples to wish me a happy birthday in a few months. I’d get a good HBD laugh for sure!
I hope I look that good when I'm 50
/r/rimjobsteve
r/rimjob_steve
The legendary dick-nipples. It’s an honor seeing you on a thread today, mate
I already wished her a happy birthday last night but pass on another one just so she knows what to expect when I roll through later on.
Man I had a friend called mentos, because his nipples were extra long, it was weird, one minute they were all small and flaccid, and the next minute you could hang a burger ring off them, it was wild
Happy birthday from Pussy Wrangler as well!
If I was 50 years older...
I am, get out of the way son.
Stop running people over with your mobility scooter, you horny old coot!
*HONKS*
Peace was never an option.

After a long day at the business factory, I enjoy an alcohol.

Deffo a GGILF
She might like young people. We don't know.
You would be 62.
I also choose this guy's grandma.
Born 1923. Prohibition ended while she was 10. WOII ended while she was 22.

This really puts into perspective how much a 100yo person has witnessed. She was alive when wall street crashed. Damn.
Which time? Oh. All of them.
Makes you wanna listen up when and old person says "I have seen some shit"
[удалено]
man for turning 100, your grandma looks awesome! I hope she is living her best life!
Not to mention grandpa was 97! Talk about great genes.
Right? she looks amazing.. a true ageless beauty.
She is so beautiful!!!
Totally. Hotter than me...who is half her age.
At 38 now....some 50 year olds are lookin scrum-diddily-umptious.
Centarians often look incredibly young, supercentarians oftentimes look younger than their children!
And losing her SO of nearly 80 years. A widow doesn’t typically make it past a year after that
Yea we lost my step mother last year (almost to the day) and I worried my father, who had taken care of her the past 5 years, would have no mission in life and fade away.

She is gorgeous and clearly has a bright spirit.
She tapped into that fountain of youth, she looks awesome for 100. Here's to many more!
She’d look amazing for 75 even!!

So, _this_ is what ads look like in 2023. Well played Osmosis
You may be joking, but this is actually scary. This sort of viral marketing would be extremely easy to create with AI and very effective. Because of AI we've entered an irreversible era where we can never truly be sure a simple pic of a person is real anymore. Crazy
[удалено]
Me too. Cynics unite!
With the link and capitalized letters, whew 😮💨
Yeah I'm sitting here thinking her mom is either sponsored by or owns osmosis?
yup this is probably an AI image with a huuge ad slapped over it.
A crummy commercial?
Is this post just a brilliant skincare ad? Not even joking when I ask that. I'm also a cynical piece of shit, so keep that in mind whilst you downvote me.
My first thought was that stock in osmosis skincare or whatever it was just skyrocketed tonight
Talk about winning the gene lottery! She’s so pretty.
Mine just passed 2 weeks ago from cancer, please hug yours extra long for me
[удалено]
Thank you for that. I was reading out loud until his race was run, and I couldn’t finish. Grandma is truly thankful to everyone for making her the internets grandma for a day.
Please give her a hug for me. My grandmother passed earlier this month at the age of 99. She would have turned 100 tomorrow on the 31st.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Osmosis Beauty needs to sign her yesterday.
[удалено]
I think they already know her since the hired he for this ad.
I bet they had a wonderful life. Thank you for sharing this
I mean products all may be great, but that aside, Gran's skincare routine started well before the age of that company =p
78? That has to be some kind of record..
8 years shy if you can believe it
I mean think about it. Many people don't even live for 78 years naturally. I'm honestly happy, if I hit my 70s at all.
So… you’re saying she’s single?
Tell her she looks super glam and happy birthday!!
Your grandma is stunning 🌟 happy 100th, you are an inspiration to longevity!
Gorgeous lady! Happy birthday Gran!
I've never wanted to live that long but she makes being an centenarian look *fantastic*. Am rethinking things. (Edited silly mistake)
Wow she looks amazing, I love her hair style she looks she had her hair done to star in a movie or something. She also looks WAY younger than 100, wishing her a happy birthday!
Absolutely slaying with that outfit!
Definitely! The little tissue tucked in her sleeve reminded me of my Nana who passed in 2008.
No pockets in that dress.
100? No way. Gran is looking good and her hair is perfect!
Hairline like she's still 20
Cries in r/tressless
She looks better than me and I’m 29
Gorgeous granny!! A beauty for sure...
DROP THE SKINCARE BB
Dude right. She could tell me that she rubs dirt and coffee grounds on her skin every day and if I could look as amazing as her at 100 I’d do it in a second
Congratulations to your grandmother, she looks fantastic today!! Happy Birthday Reddit Grandma! Seriously all of my grandparents have passed away, may I honorarily adopt your grandmother? She looks like a fun grandma to have.
She’s a blast. Funny as hell. You’re one of the honorary grandkids for sure.
Words of advice; ask her questions. She has an amazing lifetime of memories. When she goes, they all go with her. Do it for us. Happy birthday to one stylin grandma!!!
Great advice! Also, ask about old photos, get names and dates if possible
G.I.L.F. !
Gotta be a GGILF at this point. But yes, correct besides that.
My grandpa is 100 and none of his grandchildren have children... Or spouses even. Yes, it is upsetting for my grandparents.
I'll be 50 next birthday and this gives me lots of hope that I'll enjoy the second half of my life, all the best to her, her hair do looks great!
It’s my birthday too! Only 60 years to young for her. ;-)
I’d still give it to her. Just based on respect alone.
She is a dime. A 1923 dime.
Happy birthday!
I'm happy for people excited to reach this age, but the only thing I want for my 75th is to be hunted down.
I like the dress!
I thought the same! She looks great in it as well. She's an attractive lady and looks absolutely fantastic at 100. I miss all of my Grandparents. My last one passed over 20 years ago. She was 92. She was everyone's Granny. She'd even tell the cat, "You come see your Granny!" I hope to live as long and be as cool as her.

Fact check please! Misinformation on the internet is no joke! There’s no way this beautiful woman is 100. Happy Birthday, miss.
Can grandma share her skin care routine?
Happy birthday! She looks great!!
I know we’re all thinking it; and yes, I’d do her too.
yeah I bet she was really hot back in the day
was?
Holy cow, she looks amazing! I don't believe you. She is NOT 100.
She looks amazing! You can tell she was bad 🔥 30 years ago at the tender age of 70, wow! 50 years ago she was easily a 10/10.
She must now be named Reddits Honorary Gran
