What are the most Aging Features on the Face

In your opinion? I would have to say nasolabial folds. Once a woman has these, I feel like she really does not have a youthful look.

Smoker's lines around the lips. Telltale.

I definitely vote for the eye area.  You can look tired, even if you're not.  Put on sunglasses and you're 15 years younger!!!!!!!

Lack of jawline (big one) , jowls, bags under the eyes, deep lines around the eyes.

Re: What are the most Aging Features on the Face

I think we all age differently and start showing it in different ways. My good friend, same age as me, almost 58, has a lovely clear complection - not one age spot, brown dot or patch. I do and hate them. On the other hand, my mouth / lip area is not lined, yet hers is the first place I've noticed the age on her face - smoker's lips, but she has never smoked.

Re: What are the most Aging Features on the Face

Ack, I forgot to add something regarding "smokers lips":

 

I have them; faintly, but I see them. Thing is, I have NEVER smoked. When I mentioned this to my doc, he replied "You have asthma. The same puckering on inhalers will cause them in non-smokers". It may happen later rather than sooner, but he was right. I consulted with a PS regarding botox or something for that area and she said that it's difficult when you have asthma because you MUST use an inhaler multiple times a day and they can become just as deep as someone who smokes multiple times a day.

 

Great... just great.

Re: What are the most Aging Features on the Face

smokers lips are also due to loss of collagen and hormonal changes.

To me around the eyes.  I've seen people in their early twenties who have had nasalobal folds because that area of the face was more full.

 

I will say that my students were shocked that I had enough years to retire and my medical doctor read into my folder this year that I really "appeared to be forty"!   (I'm sixty-four). I've always worn a hat in the sun and I am never without sunscreen since around age 25 and I'm the right weight for my height.
