Someone on reddit demonstrated this using his mother.

This is the best thing I've seen in a while and dead true. At 36, I have zero lines or signs of aging, but I know it's coming. My mother didn't start aging until she was about 55.

I am a 35 year old Chinese American and only started getting laughing lines on my eyes. However, I think it is because I had two kids recently.

Yep I agree +1

It's true that Asian women don't have wrinkles but they do age and it shows in their facial features. It's weird and I don't know how to explain it but I can see it.

I am Korean American, age 34, and today in the bright locker room light at the gym some forehead wrinkles and another one in between my brows, which I never noticed before. I thought I was aging better than my caucasian peers... guess not.

I don't think it has anything to do with skin care in Asia. I am in grad school with tons of Asians. Most of the moms I see in their late to early 30s look good but they look their age. Asians tend to wear girly/ cartoon clothes and still dress like teenagers for a long time. It's weird.

Bahahaha!!! Love it! My Chinese grandmother was like that. She never seemed to age until she hit 90, then all of a sudden, she shrank, her hair went totally white and she seemed so so frail when before she was a brick, sleeping on wooden platforms, etc.

Non Asian people have a hard time figuring out Asian women's ages unless they have been around lots of Asians for a long time.

Not sure. I'm 37 and think I look my age but in the past two weeks, two different people thought I was 25-26. So who knows?

Lol! I'm half-Asian. My mom has said that Asian women don't really age until very late, but when they do, it's pretty rapid. Hoping this is not true!

Oh, good, another thread about race and the aging process.

I think I stopped looking timeless in my early 50's but still good approaching 60 and menopause is way behind me. Loved that cartoon series.

Also Korean mid-40s. Started getting wrinkly forehead mid-30s. Started getting wrinkly neck early 40s. Not a lot widows peak or crows feet yet - but it started to happen around late 30s

Was just asked if I wanted filler for my laugh lines. They're definitely getting worse, but I still have chubby cheeks even though I'm slim but not toned.

I think early 40s was the big turning point, in my 30s people would guess anywhere from 5-10 years younger and were sometimes shocked at my true age. Now, people say I look young, but nobody is actually surprised by my age anymore.

Has anyone had success treating/removing age spots?

Also, I am the same weight I was in my twenties even after kids which helps. I am a runner and workout/crossfit.

Op - yea i haven't done much re sunscreen and was hoping being darker would help. My weight is fine though.

Korean woman here, mid 40's... I regret not using sunscreen. Now, I have age spots, and the skin around my eyes are saggy. I noticed this around mid 30's, especially after having kids. In this one instance, I wish I had listened to my 76 yr old mother who still has very smooth, flawless skin. But, she was not an outdoorsy person like I was.
