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

Your stupid anecdote doesn’t count

I hate to break it to you, but this is all anecdotal. So, it does indeed. Sorry! Also, my south Asian friends look far older than their age. Is this a fun game? Not really, but you wanted to play.

It sounds like maybe people are very unattractive where you live? Weird!

I live in DC and regularly meet black people who I think are a certain age, and then I learned (because I learn their kids ages, or when they went to school or something) that they are literally 15-20 years older than I thought.

I was thinking the same thing haha

OP jealous much?

Asian women absolutely look younger than their age. Not all but most.

I look my age but I’m not so insecure and bitter that I refuse to recognize other women may , gasp, look younger than their age.

My only friends over a certain age who actually look younger than their age are non-caucasian. I would recognize it if it existed, but I am caucasian, and none of my caucasian friends look young for their age anymore. Some of them look super fit, stylish, and have great hair and skin, but the signs of aging are still there. It's in our hands, loss of bone density in faces, etc.

Black and Asian women just age differently, they don’t wrinkle as much. I am Asian and my complexion is not as rosy and uniform as in my 20s and 30s. But it is easier to find ways to improve your complexion than to hide wrinkles.

Definitely I look older than a 20 year old Asian woman. But I look younger than most same aged Caucasian women.

I took a pic recently with some women and someone thought I was the daughter of one of the women in the pic. I am the second oldest in the photo. By myself I look good for my age, I am slim, stylish and have a youthful spirit. But among a group I might look older or younger depending on who is there to compare me to. BTW I am Black, 55.

If you're fit and stylish and color your hair, you will probably look young in any photo that isn't a close-up one.

White women age terribly because of sun worshipping

Mine really didn't but I've been on the Rx retinoids + SPF50 routine since middle school (except during pregnancy) so I think that staved off a lot of damage. 30s and into 40s is when the chickens really come home to rooster for the sun goddesses.

Yeah I am Black (light to medium brown complexion) and I have been wearing sunblock since my teens because I got burned once. I think that has helped my skin along with being height and weight proportionate.

You might be assuming age just shows in the face, but it's also evident in the body.

The neck! The neck betrays many lying faces. And the back of the hands, the wrists, elbows...

But both men and women need to work at it. No one is accidentally beautiful at 52.

Jennifer Lopez is 56 and I think she looks much more prettier now than she did 30 yrs ago (?) when she made Selena.

The Jennifer Lopez example annoys me. That woman has had everything lifted, nip tucked lasered and micro needled. Plus fake hair. You can’t possibly hold someone like her up as a standard

I think you can….based on the mere fact that the majority of celebrities her age look old already - even many celebrities who are much younger than she is.

It’s like her beauty and youth are so unattainable, if looking as good as her just required a lot of money + surgery/fillers/etc. then explain to me why other celebrities cannot look as good as she does.

Take Madonna for example, by the time Madonna was J Lo’s age she looked like someone’s granny.
J Lo is still in her prime physically.
At the ripe age of fifty~six.

Is this a serious comment? It’s bc cosmetic procedures are WAY more refined now. Madonna was aging during the filler days. J Lo looks much closer to her age in person and she has the benefit of plastic surgery advances

Jennifer “JLO” Lopez is 56????

No way!
I thought she was in her forties.
No older than 42…

I definitely look my age (DH and I had some kid chasing around Best Buy asking if we need a 55+ cell phone plan last week lol). I'm 53 and DH is 56.

I also dont think there is anything wrong with looking my age? Is that a terrible thing? Im still the same size I was in HS. My neck is a little scary and my eyelids a little droopy. Oh well! I was never pretty anyway so have never been vain. Im lucky to be pretty healthy.

I've been married for 28 years and Ive had the same job for 21. Im really not trying to impress anyone with fresh faced beauty.

Yes! Don’t forget the filters. I’m shocked at half the people I see in real life after seeing them only in photos. I don’t even use filters but am a master at good lighting to hide the lines and sag.
