I'm 32 years old and I hear from people that I look younger. When I go to the store to buy beer for my boyfriend, they always ask me for an identification. My aunt also told me I have a young girl's face. I'm glad I look younger and I have never drinked or smoked by the way. My boyfriend is the one who likes to drink. But surprisingly he looks young too.

I always looked young. It was a pain when I was actually young, couldn’t get away with a fake Id😂😂

It varies by person. Some people are better than judging than others. But typically 10 years younger sometimes 15.

It took til my mid 40’s for them to stop carding me btw. Not that I looked younger than 21! They have ages they card up to, to be on the safe side.

I think I look old now. Well comparatively yes of course, people who never saw a younger me are shocked all the time when they find out. It’s not a bad problem to have. I’ve always drank btw, never smoked. Well maybe an occasional cigar but not consistently. But I do have oily skin. That’s probably why.

No but I think that's the case for most everyone??

We take better care of ourselves than our mother's did in their time.

We eat better, sleep better, have better jobs, we can afford priced quality skin care products...

perhaps even stress a lot less...Hopefully.

People don’t believe that I have kids or was married before, always think my cap daughter actually my sister

But who cares? I’m 30, and I LOVE IT 🙂

My short hair has actually made me look younger! I always heard short hair made you look old but it has been the opposite for me. I get carded occasionally still for smokes, or asked my birthday at least for alcohol. My 1st grey hair just popped tho so that may not last too much longer hahah. Last summer, a guy about my age asked me to dance with his son at an EDM show. I guess he liked the way I was dancing but I dont think he really realized my age lol bc his son couldnt have been older than 18. It was sweet really....

I look way younger and some guys used to hit on me and then back off when I told them my age.

But because I'm in management, I dress and act more business at work which make me appear closer to my age.

So in my casual clothes, early 30's

In my work mode, mid 30's

Actual age, 43

I've been told that I have an innocent face

Plus no wrinkles or sun damage
