I'm 34, often get told I look like i'm 25. I'm NUTS about skincare though

Pre-Covid, at 44, I felt that I could pass for mid to late thirties. Now, at 46, I feel like I look my age.
According to others, I look about 35 now, but I don't believe them.

46 - A few years ago, I would have said ten years younger. These days more like 5.

I’m getting a dowager’s hump just from spending too much time reading DCUM on my phone.

I am a Korean American woman who is 48. I don't have very many wrinkles and my hair has a small amount of gray. I can go about every 3 months for touch ups without too much gray showing through.

While I looked quite young during my 20s to early 40s, I would say that I look about 44. I definitely think that aging can happen in a blink of an eye. I totally believe the other posters who said things were good and then they hit a certain age and everything went south.

Wow everyone on DCUM magically looks younger!

I struggle with anxiety and it shows on my face.

My mom, who looks like my younger sister, was cruel, always calling me ugly when I was in elementary and middle school. Lots of physical abuse and she allowed someone to regularly molest me (I told her about it, she teamed me out for it). Anyway, I’d prefer to look older and be kind to my children than be beautiful like my mom but evil.

So sorry you experienced this, PP. You didn't deserve any of it and I hope you're getting help to deal.

Paris Hilton doesn't look different as she did in her 20s. Lupita n y on go either. To me youth is a healthy weight and thin, no visible wrinkles, no or few grays, supple skin.

Paris is 40 and even with lots of botox looks late 30s. Lupita is 38 and looks 35. Next!

Nope. You are a hater and extremely jealous because YOU look your age or older while other beautiful women do not. Accept it for what it is.

You are delusional

In my 30s, people would mention I look too young to have kids. To be honest, I can’t wait to look more mature.

Enjoy it while it lasts and don't listen to the haters

47. To my teen son, I look like “mom” which could be anything from 30 to 50. To my teen daughter, I need to get with the program and dress better. To most women my age, I bet they would be plus or minus 5 years on guessing my age.

41…I think I probably look 45. I am slim and try but those crow feet, nasiolabial folds are in full effect.

I’m 47 and look it except no gray hair. At 41 I probably looked five years younger.
