How Old Do I Look ? (photo included)

No editing on photo, took in natural daylight. Bit blurry but hopefully can still see all the natural skin lines, etc

I’ve had plenty of lockdown thoughts about being grateful for my relatively ok health (asthma and very minor heart condition) and future travel ambitions so just wanted to know if I look as ‘lived-in’ as I feel.

I don’t wear any makeup/foundation/tinted moisturiser etc , just mascara.

I’m not sensitive about my age so be as brutal as you like Grin

Was going to say 50. I don’t think you look ‘lived in’ your skin is lovely and your eyes are very pretty.

PissOffStayAtHomeDogMum · 24/05/2020 14:35

I was about to say 48 (based on the fact that you look a similar age to most of my friends and me), but you have beaten me to it, OP. You look lovely, btw.

Shinygoldbauble · 24/05/2020 14:36

You are lovely. Never mind the nonsense. You don't look anywhere close to 60.

50-52 I’d say.

emmathedilemma · 24/05/2020 14:37

Early to mid 50's

4Stories · 24/05/2020 14:37

I was going to go for late 40s to low 50s. You are beautiful

SpokeTooSoon · 24/05/2020 14:37

Oh, you’ve updated! You look good OP. The fact that so many got your age correct to within a couple of years suggests you’re ageing nicely.

SeriouslyRetro · 24/05/2020 14:37

60

Ninkanink · 24/05/2020 14:38

You’re definitely not a minger. You do yourself a great disservice with that kind of language.

Your face is lovely, and doesn’t need enhancement of any kind unless that’s what you want.

BeneathTheMilkyTwilight · 24/05/2020 14:39

You look great OP and I guessed around the same age as me, 48. I think with hair and make up done you could look younger, I think the centre parting and long hair might be ageing you a little bit. No reason to try to look younger though, you look lovely, natural, great features, nice skin.

Notmyrealname855 · 24/05/2020 14:39

Was going to say anywhere between 42 and 46! You look great! Very glowy Star

JasHarts · 24/05/2020 14:39

I knew it was 52! You’re not a minger at all, you are lovely looking!

Eckhart · 24/05/2020 14:39

I was going to say 52 but you've already updated and told us :)

You look very well and you look happy too. I'd be chuffed to look as good as you when I get to 52.

BiggerBoat1 · 24/05/2020 14:39

You look lovely. I'd say mid to late 50s, but I'm rubbish at this game so hope I haven't insulted you!

Sixlifetimesinone · 24/05/2020 14:40

The lines are only apparent when I smile, they don’t show when I’m not smiling. I do sunbathe occasionally but always use factor 50.

I wouldn’t say I’m healthy necessarily. I’m at least 2 stone more than I should be for my height. I do watersports during the summer, am vegetarian, never smoked, have a Baileys or rhubarb gin once every couple months.

I’ve namechanged for this but I agree with some other posters age isn’t important. It really is how you feel inside that matters.

That light that shines from your eyes, it starts to dim when you get older, your eye colour fades, (mine used to be blue, now dirty dishwater grey!) but despite everything there still so much to be grateful for. So many of us have been through hell or are still going through it, and I often wondered if my past shows in my face.

Oh I put 60 before I saw your response.

There’s nothing wrong with looking 60! You reminded me a lot of Anita roddick, so I think I was using her as a reference.

beesbeesbee · 24/05/2020 14:42

Early 60s?

mortforya · 24/05/2020 14:43

Jesus who said 61😳😳u look about 48-49,and you are very attractive

lillypopdaisyduke · 24/05/2020 14:43

i'd say 45

Sixlifetimesinone · 24/05/2020 14:44

That’s ok @SeriouslyRetro ! There’s a been a few guessing age 60 !

I’m 52, but I’d be happy to still look the same at 60 for sure.

Ninkanink · 24/05/2020 14:44

Your face shows wisdom, strength and depth; an expansive life with many experiences, good and bad and everything in between.

There is great value in a long life.

JustStayHome · 24/05/2020 14:44

I would of said 50

1forAll74 · 24/05/2020 14:45

You look great without any makeup. I can never guess a persons age, but going to say 46 anyway.

Samtsirch · 24/05/2020 14:46

She has already said she is 51.😀
I think you look attractive and friendly OP
There’s no way I would consider you unattractive at all.

Samtsirch · 24/05/2020 14:47

Obvs that’s not meant in a creepy way at all, I am in a stable relationship 🤣😂🤣
