How to say

-What would you say to mean a person's appearance is as young as ever, like having eaten anti-corrosive?
-How would you describe it if a person's appearance is as young as ever, like having eaten anti-corrosive?
-What is it called in English if a person's appearance is as young as ever, like having eaten anti-corrosive?

Are they natural ways of asking questions about English/English grammar?

Thank you.
