For example, Megan Fox, Nikki Reed, and Nina Dobrev all look so old when they hit 30. Even though they have no wrinkles. If you compare to photos when they were early 20s the difference is pretty incredible. Is is the skin looking tired? Or just hollowness.
It’s scaring me, since I always look older than my age and I only have a few years left until I’m 30.
Even when I was only 18, people thought I was 25. I think it has to do with having hollow under eyes and a narrow Caucasian face structure. Megan Fox has quite a long, narrow, manly face and sharp features. Which seems to make faces look mature and not age well.
Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman both looked young in their late 20s, but now they look so so old. It’s scary. But Mila Kunis had a round face. So my theory about narrow faces looking worse is probably wrong. I did notice she has heavy eyelids and sunken eyes, which seem to age worse than less deep set eyes.
Meanwhile Sofia Vergara looks pretty amazing and is like 50. Is it because she has a wider face. Idk, cause Shakira also looked good in her 40s and she has paler skin and a narrow face
This is why east asians are often described as looking younger.
Also I think people who have delicate skin (the scientific word is probably thin dermis) tend to look old sooner than their counterparts.
Like you can counter wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging with various injections and surgeries, but I don't think there is any way yet to counter your thinning skin as you age. Like you can see the bone structure underneath more clearly. IMO that explains celebrities with shiny smooth skin that somehow still look older than they should (Megan Fox, Natalie Portman).
