Bryan Johnson, the 46-year-old software millionaire, who is on a quest to reverse his biological age, recently shared his personal experience with skin damage and his ongoing efforts to restore and maintain his skin health. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mr Johnson shared a detailed post about the damage caused by years of neglect and his current skincare regimen. "Until I was 40, I kind of destroyed my skin," he wrote, attributing this to years of sunburns, a poor diet, and the absence of a proper skincare routine.
In the following post, the 46-year-old described how the above-mentioned factors had left his skin severely aged, with multispectral imaging showing that it ranked in the 98th percentile for damage in several areas. At the time, his skin had the biological age of 64, the millionaire said. "Now, my skin age has improved to between 37 and 42," he wrote.
