Sometimes we meet people whose age surprises us in the best way. That’s how it is with Caroline Butler, a 48-year-old from Norfolk who is often mistaken for someone in her twenties. She jokes about being asked for ID, but she also knows her youthful look didn’t happen by accident.

Caroline says part of her secret is living a simple, low-stress life. She’s child-free, single, and chooses habits that keep her calm and healthy. She avoids alcohol, follows a vegetarian diet, and protects her skin with SPF 50 from the supermarket—nothing fancy, just what works.

The turning point came when she noticed how often strangers questioned her age. Even her boyfriend’s friends once thought she was ten years younger than him. Online, people comment on nearly every video, guessing she must be in her early twenties.

Caroline also gives credit to her genetics. Her parents, now in their seventies and eighties, still look youthful, and she feels she’s following their path. She stopped drinking in her mid-thirties, realized she preferred fruit juice anyway, and stuck to a lifestyle that keeps her glowing rather than tired.

Along with healthy choices, she keeps her routine simple. A daily layer of baby sun cream, some makeup when she feels like it, and plenty of positivity help her stay fresh-faced. Even her 15-year-old Jack Russell, Annie, keeps her moving and laughing.

To Caroline, looking young is only part of the story. She believes feeling young matters even more—and that a joyful outlook can shine brighter than any wrinkle cream.
