I am 41 and beginning to see myself ageing and getting wrinkles crows feet, forehead, bridge of nose and around my mouth and cheeks.

I find it hard to compare myself because I can't tell who is my age, everyone looks older or younger and celebraties don't count because they all get lots of stuff done.

So whats average, normal facial ageing in the early 40s?

I'm about to turn 40 and apart from some fine smile lines around my eyes (which we're not there 20 years ago) I have no wrinkles, grey hair or obvious signs of ageing.
I have heard it all suddenly starts to fall apart about mid forties.
Obviously I don't look 21 anymore but I honestly don't look in the mirror and see an ageing woman.

It's all very individual- I started going grey at 25, but only in the last year (I'm 42) have I noticed fine lines around my eyes and the start of a wrinkly neck Shock
Rest of me looks ok, but might be more wrinkly if I lose the stone I really need to!
