Absentmy views exactly - and the older you get the more variation in how people look at a given age. New born children all have a similar look. Even at 30 looks can vary, by 70......

Personally I do not think it is how you look physically that tells your age; it is how you dress and do your hair. Many women fail to evolve how they dress or style their hair after their 40s so you can guess their age by looking at those rather than their faces.

For example many women of my age who were 40 in the 1980 still have their hair cut in a short cropped style, attractive but dateable or still wear a slightly updated version of the gathered floral skirt and smart jacket for day time events. I have friends like this.

I think it's your mind and your outlook on life that gives your age away.

Agreed Petra plus the way you walk, hold yourself, listen to others, willingness to try new things, accept new ideas, not turn into grumpy old, narrow minded people, etc.

My MiL embraced old age in her mid forties. Crimplene dresses, no bra, hair in a bun, no make up because she was too old for that rubbish and a total refusal to learn anything new. Bills were paid in cash at the Post Office, deirect debits and ATM's were off limits - "I like to know where my money is" when people asked me how old she was they were always amazed, because they thought she was about twenty years older.

Nobody mentions feet LOL. I 'do' my feet every day: foot scrub, moisturise.
It pays off because the other day my DD said ' haven't you got good feet. Not like some old peoples'
I'm very lucky that I inherited my Mothers good legs. That reminds me of my Father saying ( when he saw my stilettos ) "Get them things off, you'll never have legs like your Mother" little did he know that I put them in my handbag and put them on down the road, same with makeup.

Do you think purveyors of cosmetics have computer "apps" that flash up an alert when anyone posts a thread about appearance so that they can try and bung in an add for their products?
