Aging

We were looking at pictures the other day from when we started dating and I realized how much I have aged. So did DH, he didn't know better than to say "look how young you were!!!!!" Gee, thanks.

But in looking back I think I aged a lot between the ages of 24-26. I hope it stops now for a while. The stress of getting married, getting a master's, and buying a house during those years probably didn't help!

When do you think you did a lot of aging and please tell me it slows down for a while.

Re: Aging

I didn't age - I just got fat
I see people from HS who are like "OMG you look EXACTLY the same" ......Um, yes, that extra 35 lbs I've gained in the past 10 years has obviously filled in any wrinkles I may have -

Re: Aging

DH and I have been together for almost a decade, so we have definitely aged. Me more than him, though.

Re: Aging

I noticed that I aged alot between 26-30... Since 30 I don't feel I have aged that much (people say I have the early 30 glow).. so yes I think you do slow down... My mother said the next big bump will be between 36 to 40.. Great I have a few years left before I visit the plastic surgeon

Re: Aging

DW hasn't aged that much. Her mom and dad both look quite a bit younger than they really are.

I, on the hand, am losing my hair quickly, and what little is staying around is starting to turn grey...

Re: Aging

NO JOKE..I was noticing this last night in the mall==the guys looked younger then the girls--and then husbands then the wives..I know my dh imho looks better-I think its like caccoon the movie they are pods sucking our energy while we sleep..
eventually they catch up....

Re: Aging

so far, so good.

but I am afraid.

I am 32 years old and have always looked younger.

no grey or wrinkles YET...

but time will begin it's inevitable march across my face...I want to be armed with antiaging creams when it does..

I just don't know which ones to use...

what do you use when you don't have wrinkles YET...and you don't want any.

anywho...I haven't really aged..I've just "come into my beauty" LOL. I look more sophisticated.

dh and I have been together 13 years...and he freakin looks younger NOW than he did in college!

Re: Aging

there's definately been aging since we met when we were 16 (now 26 (me) and 27 (him). He's aged more than me though.

Re: Aging

I guess I aged the most between 24-27 when I was working two jobs and going to school. As for DH I think it's been since we've been married

Re: Aging

I was just looking in the mirror this morning thinking I look more mature (Thats my way of being nice to myself ) but I am in my 30's now. Just relax and useOil of Olay and it will slow down

what do you use when you don't have wrinkles YET...and you don't want any.

Any dermatologist I have gone to has said the same thing. The best anti-aging cream is SUNBLOCK. Everything else is a gimmick. Drink plenty of water and thank your genes...I know I do

Re: Aging

I think where I see my aging the most is around my eyes--- and I think that happened around when we got married.

I am 32. People who don't know me think I am much younger-- even younger people think I am around their age-- this makes me feel the best.

My parents look pretty good though--- although my MIL, has not one wrinkle on her face. I feel like DH won't get any wrinkles at all.

As for anti-aging. I have started to really pay attention to what eye creams I put on at night-- deep moisture, vaseline, etc-- anything to prevent those wrinkles or to reduce the appearance of the teeny tiny fine lines around my eyes. Everything else-- deep moitsurizer at night and for during the day one with SPF 30.

Re: Aging

My Grandma is 93 and has no wrinkles on her forehead, hands and on one side of her face...God bless me with some of that luck Oh and was an active sun worshiper sometimes wearing NO sunblock at all Which I cannot believe

Re: Aging

I am pretty lucky. I look younger than my 31 years. I do have grays buried deep beneath the top layer of my hair, but that is easy to fix.

Re: Aging

I don't think I aged at all... I pretty much look the same. Everywhere I go people still think i'm no older than 18.

Re: Aging

I am another who gets carded still for R rated movies at age 27. I hate it, but am consistently being told that "you will appreciate it when you are older".

DH just turned 30 and his hair is starting to gray and he is really upset about it. I love it, I think he looks more handsome than ever.

Re: Aging

I think I started to age a little around 24-25. I'm 27 now, but I can see a difference when I look at past pictures of myself. I still look pretty young though, and people can't believe I'm 27. I have always looked young, but I don't think I look 21 anymore.

Re: Aging

I'm 31 and I think I look younger than when I was younger...if that makes sense...
I get it all the time from strangers. They ask me if I'm in my early 20's. Pfft...

I have PLENTY of grey hairs and a few wrinkles. I get my hair highlighted and I use Oil of Olay. What else can I do?

Re: Aging

I think from 32+ I aged dramatically (& not gracefully at all, I might add).

I think a lot of it has to do with lack of sleep and gaining & losing weight.
