How old were you when you first noticed signs of aging?

[McSqueezy]

I'm in my late 20s now. I don't have any obvious wrinkles, but I have noticed my face looks more...mature, shall we say. I've been sort of noticing changes for the past year or so. Having young children and no sleep probably doesn't help!

I'm 33. No signs yet but I also don't have children yet. I'm sure that ages people

This year :( 43. Always had the odd dodgy bit but now it's more the norm!

this year - 44.

37 - first grey hair. Also the year I had DS so lack of sleep contributing to haggard face. Before that I never noticed aging at all.

Now 40 and seeing papery wrinkles on my hands!

I still get spots! How is it fair to get spots and wrinkles?

37 and I've noticed fine lines and certain parts of my face drooping slightly in the last 3 years - since having kids basically!

Around forty. Just 44 and my definition has gone around my jaw, wrinkles on and around the eyes, deep lip to nose lines and general sagging. I'm not painting a good picture :)

Started going grey at 20. I am now 24 and I have lots of very noticeable grey hairs.

Last year (27). Someone thought I was a fair whack older than I was and I looked in the mirror with a critical eye.

This is stupid and ridiculously vain, but it's the one thing that's motivated me to stop smoking.

My mum is a smoker and has been for the past 40 years, and she is rather wrinkly and has been for as long as I can remember. And in the nicest possible way, I want to put that off for as long as possible!

34, about three months after having DS.

37. I have constant frown lines, deep sit between my eyes and my forehead wrinkles as well.

I apparently have a bitch face even when at rest which hasn't helped.

42

43. Baby number 2 came at 42 and I definitely didn't " bounce" back like I did from previous baby only three years earlier. Maybe it would have happened around then anyways but that is when the grey hair really started and I started to notice my neck :(.

I must be in denial. Think I look fine at 48 so was shocked to see the passport photo that fell out of the machine last week looking like a rough arse from prisoner cell block H with jowls and a frowny forehead:(

I think about 42.

I fear it's a facelift downhill all the way now.

Around 40, just after 40. Had dc 4 at40 and Never recovered my figure either.

I'm no 43 and really looking quite old. But I spent my 20s and early 30s looking much younger. I've always had dry skin, and I think that is a little aging also.

But my lovely and very pretty sister is only 30. She glows. Yet she has false boobs and Botox regularly at such a young age. It's made me be more accepting of the aging process. I can't wait to be 60 and have silver/white hair and bright red lipstick :-) I don't see at all how she will cope with the aging process.

I started noticing that my skin wasn't as good at is used to be at 23, 9 months into my first real full time job after I had finished my degrees.

I was feeling real workplace stress for the first time in my life, and whilst they were not wrinkles then, my makeup would settle in the lines on my face in the places that the wrinkles are now. Forehead, above my left eyebrow and my laughter lines all became wrinkles eventually.

Had laughter/frown lines for a few years, grey hairs started early forties and jowls seemed to appear from nowhere overnight at forty-seven.

35, baggy eyes with wrinkles, dry skin and dark patches. Glam.

45 - crepy neck.
Face is pretty good at 47 nothing major.
A few odd lines near where marionette lines would be but going
in a strange way - horizontally. Must be the way i move my mouth sometimes. Very depressing.

First wrinkles at 43 around eyelids and eyesvafter I finally lost my baby weight.

Now a few years on, it's all going to pot. Nose to mouth lines, forehead lines, jowls.

Beautiful.

Luckily Dh is older so I'm always young in comparison

I've found a miracle product I think. I have an age spot under my eye which really annoys me as the rest of my skin is quite clear. For two weeks now I've been using rose hip oil and it's fading and fading daily! I'm so happy! And the rest of my skin if looking moist and clear, no dry bits. Love it.

I can't remember the first signs, sorry but serious aging was from around 50. That was when the sagginess hit.

Have had a wrinkle in the middle of my forehead since I was born. My mum said it was because I was an old soul and cut me a wee fringe as soon as my hair was long enough to hide it.

Bar that, really not much in my 20s and 30s. I was quite successful in my career and got promoted fast, and past a certain point being baby faced was a real drawback. Looked round a senior management team meeting in new job one time and realised, not only was I the youngest person there by a good ten years, I looked 6 or 7 years younger than that. Took a lot of extra effort to get taken seriously.

So will be 40 later this year, and a few summers in intense Madrid sun mean I haver a few lines round my eyes. The grey hairs are sprinkling at the temples now, not an occasional stray. And I really like that I am starting to look more like my age.

44 - a few wrinkles and lines. Then again at 52 - deeper wrinkles greying hair, lost of chin definition and those awful Fred Flintstone lines from nose to mouth - yuk!
