What Makes Us Look Older?

The effects of aging are ineluctable; there is no escape from its grasp. However, while we are all susceptible to developing the signs of aging at some point, there are a number of things that can make us look older, even when we are still young and sprightly. Genetics, smoking, and unhealthy eating are just a few of the factors that can add years to your appearance, but there are many more variables involved in an aged appearance.
 
People often think the things that make them look older are things like wrinkles or gray hair. But there are other things, too, such as how much we weigh (as weight tends to accumulate with age), how we compose ourselves, how we talk, and even based on experience.
 
Many things, such as what we eat and how much we exercise, can actually have a major impact on how we look, especially when it comes to our skin. With age, people develop more wrinkles in their skin, meaning that the skin appears to have more folds and creases. This is because the skin becomes less elastic as people age, and the skin’s natural ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on its own is therefore more difficult.

Many factors play a role in the apparent age of a person’s face, such as the amount of wrinkles (and their depth and width), the amount of gray or white hair, skin discolorations such as age spots, thin skin, and sagging or loose skin. Because muscle mass decreases and bone density reduces with age, a thin or frail appearance may contribute to an aged countenance.

Aging is an ongoing process that takes place throughout every stage of life. Changes to facial structure and complexion occur during adolescence, making a child appear more like a young adult. As for reaching old age, the most significant facial changes take place when a person is in their 40s or 50s; however, these changes can start occurring as early as the 30s.

The seven main signs of aging include:

– Fine lines and wrinkles
– Dullness of skin
– Uneven skin tone
– Dry skin
– Blotchiness and age spots
– Rough skin texture
– Visible pores
