A 35-YEAR-OLD who looks like a teenager has shared his secrets for eternal youth, including a key food that he completely cuts out.
Brandon Miles May is often mistaken for a schoolboy, but is in fact decades older than he looks.
He describes himself as an “anti-ageing enthusiast”, and in a recent TikTok video, shared seven key things he does to maintain his youth.
Brandon said that he has spent his whole life avoiding direct sunlight.
He said: “The sun contributes to up to 90% of the visible signs of ageing”.
Brandon revealed that he has never drank a single drop of alcohol in his life.
“I made the conscious decision at the age of 13 to never partake in alcoholic beverages”, he said.
He said that he doesn’t judge anyone who does drink, but decided never to do it himself because of the damage it does to the skin, hair and brain.
Brandon said that he does not smoke as smoking depletes anti-oxidants that protect your skin from “the onslaught of external dangers” such as UV and pollutants in the environment.
The anti-ageing whizz said that he always sleeps eight or nine hours, every single night.
“I think its so important, because sleep is when the regenerative process happens”, he said.
The TikToker added that sleep also “jacks up your melatonin” which you “really need for anti-ageing purposes”.
Brandon revealed that he has completely cut sugar out of his diet.
“Sugar ages the skin significantly”, he said.
Brandon said that he does not do “heavy exercise” but works out a moderate amount, to make sure that he is building and retaining muscle.
He explained that this is important for balancing out your hormones.
There are a number of habits you can take up to care for your health and wellbeing as you age.

Brandon’s video, which was posted under the username @brandonskincare, has likely left many open-mouthed, as it has racked up over 752,000 views on the video sharing platform.
TikTokers raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on his tips.

A second person said: “I swear lack of sleep has aged me the most”.
A third person added: “I’m almost 29 and look 17 and have never had alcohol or smoked cigarettes either.”
