Meet the 52-year old mother who looks half her age
Mrs Jacobs is 52 and has a
21-year-old son, but with her clear skin, enviable figure and thick,
dark hair, Pamela Jacobs looks half her age.
She looks so young that she has been offered student rail fares and is told she must be lying when she reveals her real age.
Mrs Jacobs, who says her mother and
siblings also look younger than they really are, attributes her youthful
looks to good genes, a healthy diet, lots of exercise - and plenty of
coconut oil.
She also has a weekly sauna and
steam, exfoliates her face every other day and never leaves the house
without sunscreen - she says she likes to use Greek brand Korres because
it's 'natural'.
Much to her son's horror, she also gets attention from younger men -
and embarrassingly, has been mistaken for his girlfriend in the past.
'A while ago someone my son knows
thought I was his girlfriend,' she chuckles. 'And some people I know
have thought the same in reverse.'
But Marley need not worry about her
dating any of his friends because Mrs Jacobs, who is currently single
after marrying and divorcing in her twenties, says she has no intention
of dating a younger man.
'It's flattering but I prefer men of
a similar age to me,' she explains, pointing out that a 21-year-old son
'puts that [dating a twenty-something] into perspective'.
Nicknamed Pharrell by family members
after the enduringly youthful singer, Mrs Jacobs says the odd
embarrassing situation notwithstanding, there are no real downsides to
looking younger.
'I can't remember the last time I
was ID’d but a few years ago I was buying ticket to London and the
cashier asked if I had my student rail card so I said I didn't have one.
'He then asked if I wanted to apply
for one so I had to tell him that I wasn't a student and what my real
age is. He went a bit red.'
