How old- feel a bit deflated !

I’ve always been a staunch avoider of all things cosmetic surgery, cant afford it/too scared but had a rare night out last night and an even rarer picture taken and all of a sudden , I thought jeez age is catching up on me. How old do you think I look ( it’s fine you can be honest) and any tips to sort my eye bag situation out as they actually look bigger than my eyes themselves ? I’m not sure my Olay eye cream is cutting it anymore.

Mid to late 40s. Lovely clear skin

  1. You have a lovely face and a beautiful smile.

I'd guess a good-skinned early-mid 40s.

bryceQ · 11/02/2024 21:34

I think you look lovely. Really attractive woman. I'd say mid 40s. Even if you're younger than that I think you have a really nice look

WillYouPutYourCoatOn · 11/02/2024 21:35

But you look great.

Richtea67 · 11/02/2024 21:36

Late 40's, you have lovely smiley eyes 😊

Dartmoorcheffy · 11/02/2024 21:36

Mid 40s

hothotheatbag · 11/02/2024 21:37

I'm going to say 47 and you look so happy and nice in this photo.

Early 40s. Lovely skin, great lips and what eye bags??

Mid 40s.

@WillYouPutYourCoatOn spot on I’m just turned 53. Had a rough old few years ( divorce , relationship angst, few house moves and a busy job). I never had those crinkly bits at the sides of my eyes and bags. I rarely go out and as so very few pictures , I suppose in my head I’m still 25 , the reality is very different. My skincare is a bit basic, but maybe I need to start scaling up .

thanks for the comments , it is what is is isn’t it. 🫤

Genuinely I always think people look older on these threads and I'm usually a good guess but I think you look younger than you are.

tillyandmilly · 11/02/2024 21:45

No way! You do not look 53! You look 10 years younger! No more than 43

43ontherocksporfavor · 11/02/2024 21:46

I’m 52 OP and you look younger than me. Everyone has lines by their eyes when they smile, even my 20 year old DD!

OhVienna24 · 11/02/2024 21:47

I was going to say 45 and you look really lovely.

MeMyBooksAndMyCats · 11/02/2024 21:47

You do not look 53! I'd of said early 40s!

Tetsuo · 11/02/2024 21:48

Well you're being a very silly sausage @MancMa, 'those crinkly bits and bags' are just because you're smiling, and not a hideous offence to your face.

You look happy, you've got great skin, stop your nonsense.

Starseeking · 11/02/2024 21:49

52

tunainatin · 11/02/2024 21:49

Early to mid 40s and lovely!

Tetsuo · 11/02/2024 21:50

You do have a strong resemblance to Jools Oliver though!

Shinyandnew1 · 11/02/2024 21:50

I would have put you mid/late 40s, so I wouldn’t worry!

sunflowerpinks · 11/02/2024 21:50

You look like a happy 53 year old!
