IDC if you have a baby face or are petite you still look your age . Only a very small percentage of us are unicorns that can pass as 10 + years younger .



People especially waiters or cashiers are being nice when they card you or sometimes its required by law to card anyone regardless of their age so this isn't a flex .

Speak for yourself. Some of us have better genetics than others.

If you really looked younger than your age you would understand that it's also a burden. If you didn't spend your 20s getting ignored by your peers, receiving kid's menus at restaurants and arguing with people that your ID isn't fake, and yes, you really are 25, 27, 29, etc, then you do not get it. My sister and I had a hell of a time when it was supposed to be "the best time of our lives". People have always treated me like I was a teen mother, and trust me, women around here get really mean and nasty about it. I look young in a young way, not in a sexy 25 year old way.

Now my kids have the same issues.

Troof!

Not really. My black and Asian friends all have really bad melasma and skin discoloration and can’t use lasers. Their grays show more. They actually look worse. Sorry.

Untrue...the right lasers work great on Asian skin. And good hair coloring will cover any grays on any type of hair. Just go to a dermatologist or salon that works with a lot of Asian clients.

Plus not all black and Asian people get melisma. Most don’t.

Maybe not all but solidly most

Are you Black because I am and no one I know has melasma nor do I

I’m in my 40s and most of my black and Asian friends don’t have melasma.

I had to google melasma and I’m laughing!

Facial discoloration like that is standard for white women at 40. Maybe they call it rosacea?

Asian and black women don’t even start showing signs of discoloration until their 60’s.

NP. Neither rosacea nor melasma are “standard” for any race

I wonder if there is a link between mild autism and seeming to age more slowly?

This is fascinating. My dad, who I believe was mildly autistic but obviously not in the right generation to be diagnosed and I (no official diagnosis, but I am pretty sure) both look young for our age--like lots of comments starting in early adulthood and going on for decades. He used to always win those "guess my age" games at the county fair and they would guess he was in his late 20s when he was in his 40s. He continued to look much younger than he was until his death. Yes, I am a white woman, but I have always looked younger (it is catching up with me now but I think if I told people I was 35, they would never question it and I am almost 50). Thank you for this interesting take!
