Late 40s?

It's so hard to say. I wouldn't be surprised if you were 30, equally I wouldn't be surprised if you were 47.

If it wasn't for the fact you have faint nasolabial lines and incipient marionette lines, I'd have said mid 30s.
However, I didn't start to get those sort of lines until I was mid 40s, so would up my estimate to 39/40.
These days, it's my neck that really tells the true story, but you look too young for your neck to be particularly lined yet.

Do you use anything for your neck? Since I was a teen I have had two deep lines across my neck and they are getting worse with age! I feel I will be one of those older ladies that had neck rolls

Late 30s

fireflyloo · 08/08/2023 09:24

You could be anything from 35-late 40's. You don't have many wrinkles and I don't know if the photo is typical but you look more haggard/ sleep deprived.

People sometimes make these posts with someone else's photos to put that person down.

Changesarecomong · 08/08/2023 09:25

God why do people do this? Put up a totally unflattering photo of themselves for the world to gawp at and then disappear? Unimaginable why you would do this 🥴

I did wonder that too

Around 50, but an unflattering photo

You're very brave for asking here, people will always say you look much older than you clearly are, just out of spite

I don't think that is true, people will compare her to themselves and their friends and estimate an age from there. I think she looks older than me more wrinkles, more sun damage, volume loss and I am mid 40's so I put late 40's.

If she us younger then a good skincare routine, healthy diet and exercise will help her a lot. Not to mention a better photograph, she posted this one though rather masochistically, where she looks middle aged regardless of her actual age.

@pontipinemum

Do you use anything for your neck?

I do, yes. I've pretty much always given my neck and decolletage (sp?) the same treatment as my face. That's included daily sunscreen since my late teens.
At present, I use Prai serum in the day and Medic8 crystal retinol at night. Both get followed with whatever day/night cream I'm using on my face and sunscreen in the morning.
It wasn't too bad until the menopause hit - I can't take HRT for medical reasons, but would love to be able to see if it would help.

I’d say around my age - 35! My skin would look the same if I wasn’t taking care of it.

Spirallingdownwards · 08/08/2023 09:35

People are horrible saying in your 40s. mid 30s would be my top end guess. I suspect if I check you may gave already said 🤣

Nothing wrong with being in your 40s and let’s not pretend there aren’t many women in their 40s who look like OP.

The person who said 86 is being horrible if anything lol not people who said 40s.

Agree that the photo isn’t the most flattering, you look sad and tired.

That is why it is not a good idea for these types of threads. That picture could be of anybody.

That’s a good point actually. I hadn’t thought of that. It could well be a pic of someone else.
