Cigarettes, and sunlight.

The amount of damage sunlight can do to your skin if you don't use appropriate protection, is astonishing.

    Leaded gasoline, plus a heavy dose of regular drinking.

    While true, our skin's still pretty tough in our 20s no matter what, plenty of collagen and such. I know this is partly lucky genes, but I was as baby-faced as Holland at 29 and I smoked heavily and had no care for sun protection. At 55, I still have little care for sun protection as I have to spend all day on the water, in the summer, to get even slightly pink.
