Many people in the music industry age quickly or poorly but I think that may be due to lifestyle, excessive make up use, drugs and alcohol dehydrate the skin and make people look older.
The best thing to do is stay out of the sun, stay away from smoking and alcohol, drink 8 pints of water a day and moisturise the skin three times a day.
Well I am doing my best to stay away from cigarettes and I don't really wear make up other then the occasional eyeliner.....but I can't quite say the same for the other things mentioned, I don't know i don't really care if I look like a burnt out metalhead by the age of 40.
Well that's a good start
Cigarettes really do drain people and make them look older. Make up isn't bad but it can dry the skin out, dehydration is the main cause of ageing.

I will have to wear a bag over my head at the meet up with wolfheart 
*goes and drinks more water*
It will be interesting to see if his opinion changes as he reaches 40. I find it surprising that a man in his very early 20's cares so much about aging as most people that age are not concerned so much with looks, he sounds more like victoria beckham, highly valuing looks and desperately seeking actions to ameliorate aging.
wolfheart do you think you over focus on looks because you feel bad about having an aspergers personality, maybe you want to compensate for it or felt if you looked better people would like you more? I know i felt like that.

I hope you don't feel self concious when you meet me, Raven, you're an attractive lady and I'm certainly not perfect. I don't feel bad about being on the spectrum, I've come to terms with that and it took time. I think it's just about wanting the best for yourself, I don't think the expectations of society are extremely important to me, I don't see what's wrong with wanting to take care of yourself at all.

no worries, I was teasing you, it will take more than that to make me feel self conscious and besides I have so many other flaws for you to judge me on, a few wrinkles are nothing!
Out of interest are you a perfectionist at all? its interesting why you feel the drive to be the best version of yourself, most people care more about the 'now' and hedonisticly want the pleasant experience of 'bad food or drink' and are not able to exert the self control you seem able to.

I want to be the best I can be and achieve all I can achieve, there isn't any reason not to. There are many activities that aren't detrimental and they provide a greater sense of achievement over a second of satisfaction a person might get from smoking a cigarette or eating something that isn't healthy. If people do enjoy that, that's up to them and I am not stopping them by any means, it just isn't something I would recommend.
I like working out, I enjoy yoga, I'm getting into rowing, I enjoy walking around cities and admiring the architecture, I guess I just enjoy doing those activities and they are more productive in the long run.
