A 35-year-old biohacker who “looks like a teenager” has admitted that one of his secrets to staying young is “living like a vampire”.
Brandon Miles May, who has found internet fame on TikTok, told The Independent that he avoids the sun as much as possible because it is the leading cause of skin damage.
As well as wearing a hat and sunglasses on the rare occasions he does go outside, he also uses what he describes as a “sunbrella” to protect his skin.
While most people do not think about the effects of ageing until they are in their 30s or older, Brandon claims he became conscious of his desire to keep his skin youthful when he was just 13 years old.

The biohacker said that he was first compared to a vampire when he was a teenager by his mother, but the comparison is now made by “everyone”.

“I also have a UVA meter (UVA is the spectrum of UV that is largely responsible for skin ageing) which I’ve used to measure the amount of UVA coming in through windows in my home,” he said.
“I’ve used that to understand just where I should avoid sitting for longer periods of time, as accumulated light through windows also contribute to skin ageing.
“When I walk around my home, I sometimes think of it to the scene in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire when Kirsten Dunst’s character Claudia wakes up and tries to stay in the shadows and avoids the light (I think that’s what happened!).
I wear 3 different spf products, including on my lips, and always the max, even when it’s cloudy and I’m inside. Even when I am utterly depressed.
And then you have people who go tanning after putting on OLIVE OIL.
That kind of thing makes me wonder what people are thinking, unless they are friends with cannibals (which is like friends with benefits but tastier).
Now you got me wondering which of my friends is tastiest.
Regarding olive oil, well I’m pretty sure it’s a good way to take care of your skin. People have put it on since ancient times. But I just can’t imagine it has any significant spf. What I can imagine is that people just don’t get it, cuz I run into people who don’t even know what uv radiation is.
There are idiots everywhere.
I think we all taste like pork and depends on the marinade.
It’s been long agreed on amongst my friend’s that, in an Alive situation, I’d be the first one on the BBQ.
I remember my sisters using baby oil in the 70s to get a deeper burn which meant a darker tan.
Did she finally become popular like me?
