Everything about women is contradictory: you never know what a woman wants. When we are in our teens, we claim a bigger age so that we can attract older men. The reverse becomes the case once we hit 25 years of age.

We start claiming football age even though we can't throw a good kick.

The worst thing you can say to a woman is that they look older than their age. It's a great compliment when we are girls but it quickly turns to insult or self-esteem crusher once we hit our mid 20's.

That's why some people will always feel offended when you outrightly ask them about their age on a first date. I don't see anything offensive about inquiring about people's age, but some do. It's an unnecessary reminder that you are not getting younger and that comes with its pressure.

To win any woman's heart, just tell her she looks way younger than her age, and see how she lights up the room.

We all want to be sweet sixteen forever. Regina Daniels isn't the only one that wishes to remain a teenager forever. We all crave that vampiric gene minus the being dead and blood-sulking part. Just straight-up eating our cake and still having the whole damn pan.

The pressure for women to look younger than their real age is higher for celebrities. Their entire career mostly hangs around their ability to never age, even when they are in their 50s. That's an insane standard that nobody has to be subjected to. But fame comes at a cost they say.

This unrealistic standard is the reason most women will subject themselves to lying about their real age, which is the easy part, the other option is plastic surgery to make them look younger.

In the Nigerian entertainment scene, Bbnaija housemates are the biggest offenders of this crime. Everybody wants to be tagged "young and successful". And the easiest way to get that unmerited tagline is by lying about their actual age.

Someone like Mercy Eke posted her voters card in 2022, while she was urging her followers to go get their PVC (permanent voters card).

Some praised her for using her platform for the betterment of the country, but an unrecognized FBI agent used his busybody skills to dig out the blurred age on Mercy's voter's card. His findings went viral on social media platforms, which resulted in her being dragged for days.

She's not the only housemate that has been accused of hiding their real age. Tacha, Nengi, and Angel have been accused of the same.

While these accusations might be true, I truly don't see why people are worked up about other people's lives.

But if you are in the business of always trying to find out people's actual age, there is an easier way to do it.&nbsp; some of our body parts can easily give away our real age. It's not something we can control. Sure, you can get plastic surgeries on your face if you can afford it but other body parts can still give away your actual age effortlessly.

These body parts are always neglected. And even if you are aware, there is little you can do to stop them from ageing faster than the rest of the body.

Body parts like; the elbow the neck, and your hand are the biggest age revealer.

The elbow: Your elbow looks supple in your teen but begins to wrinkle in your twenties. The reason is that the elbow has a thin skin and that alone subjects it to age faster. Another reason is that we hardly pay attention to our elbows. Nobody really takes out time to moisturise the elbow like we do the face. You don't even get to see how it looks, even when you twist your arm. Unless you ask someone to snap and show you. And who does that? Nobody!&nbsp;

As far as we humans are concerned, the elbow is not our concern. But when it comes to bursting age lies, the rejected stone becomes the chief cornerstone.&nbsp;

Next time you are close to a celebrity or suspect some age fraud, look at their elbow. It will always tell the truth.

The neck: it also has thin skin but not thinner than the elbow. The neck is the part of the body that is always exposed to the sun just like the face. Yet, we treat the face better than we do the neck.

The visible signs of ageing on the neck include age spots ( tiny dark spots on your face and neck), wrinkles, and skin tags which are mostly caused by exposure to the sun.

The Hands: like the elbow, the hand is a big age revealer. The hands are always exposed to the elements, water, wind/air, earth, and fire/sun. The hands are the biggest hard workers among other body parts. And that's why they start showing signs of ageing faster than other body parts.

They start showing wrinkles and age spots faster than any other parts.

The nails:&nbsp; As you age, your nails begin to change colour, and become prone to breaking and more brittle.

How can you properly care for these body parts so you don't get busted on your lies like your favourite celebrities?

1. Get a heavy hand moisturiser/cream for your hands. Always apply it after washing your hands. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to them

2. Consciously apply your moisturising body cream and sunscreen on your elbow.&nbsp;

3. Whatever is good for your face is good for your neck. Take care of your neck as you are going about your 10-skincare routine. Application of sunscreen&nbsp; is non-negotiable

4. Apply oils to your nail beds to keep them moisturised always. You can use any natural oil or natural oil blend for it.

But I will recommend using <a href="https://kandanatural.com/">Kanda facial oil</a> to care for your nail bed. It's a mixture of the best natural oils and essential oil, made to nourish your skin and even your nails.
