But isn't that look after means take care of sb.
What I want to express in this sentence is my teacher eat healthily, live healthily and use good face cleanser and sun block and so on to keep himself younger.
Many Thanks in Advance

Hi
Vctory OngBut isn't that look after means take care of sb.
Yes - look after = take care of someone or something. You can also look after yourself.

If you look after yourself it means that you try to have a healthy diet, you try to keep fit and stay in good shape.

The word is wrongly spelled. It should be maintenance.
