Do any of the older crowd here have advice for growing older?

An older lady told me that people with fair skin like myself need to make sure to use lotion much more than other people since the skin thins as you get older.

I have noticed a few people giving me advice now that I’m over 40 yrs old. Do any of you have advice on staying healthy or aging gracefully? Anything to avoid or add that may help?

Thanks in advance!
