Do you tan often and easily? If so it may be aging your skin at a faster pace. The skin on your face is very delicate and sensitive to UV light. Wearing sunscreen every day is a good idea, even if that’s not what’s causing people to say you look older.
I went tanning for like 2 months and also lost 30lbs in that time so it might be a mix of the sun damage and skin not tightened yet
Don’t go “tanning” it will accelerate the wrinkling and aging process. Wash your face and apply sunscreen daily. Avoid smoking, eat healthy - unprocessed fruits and vegetables, drink water. You will remain youthful longer.
I personally think you look exactly your age.
Sun/natural tans makes my skin and mind much healthier.
But I agree tanning beds are all around bad
I think your style ages you. But I wouldn't say you're in your 40s. I'm talking about the second outfit
Which bums me out because I thought it was so cute as a NE swag outfit
I think it is cute! But it’s definitely a teacher type outfit.
I am a teacher 🤣🤣
Teachers can be, and usually are under 40….
Absolutely! Your point?
I mean that 2nd pic looks like you're Sarah Palin's younger sister.
That’s Alaska not NE lolol
Hair? I change my hair like 4 times a year, I'm 34 and I've tanned a lot, and I love outfit #2, and i think we're in the same boat, but my hair either ages me or doesnt. Especially my white hair.
I bought outfits like this recently, I was worried bout some outfits being too young for me, and as a result they made me look older and like I was trying to hard... but fuck it, right? Fashion is subjective like art. I'll do whatever I want, and stride with confidence, they say, not like i do, but its a process. you can't think too much about it and Def can't ask reddit, some people just seem like they are ready to pounce for the sake of it. I think it looks great.
But ifni had to say one thing, a nice chocolate brown and small trim works great with thinner hair like mine. Maybe some subtle highlights. Or just ditch the cowboy hat, lol. But you kind of remind me of that stunt woman Zoe something that was in the movie Death Proof.
Filling in your eyebrows and using less heavy eyeliner would definitely help. The way your make up is now, with your (lovely) sharp eyes, it looks a little harsh. Lighter eye make up would open your eyes up more, while darker eyebrows are associated with youth and would add some definition
A couple things, imo:
- eye makeup: the dark rim on top and bottom does look dated. I would go with maybe a brown shadow, tightline with a neutral color.
-hair and skin are almost monotone. I think darkening it with maybe chunkier highlights would look very pretty.
what’s your current skincare? I know you said you tanned and lost some weight. I would be wearing sunscreen daily (even in the winter), get a good retinoid cream or trentinoin if you can (requires rx but can get online easily from many places).
maybe add some liquid/cream skin products, those are what’s more “youthful” right now. Liquid/cream blushes, highlight (there’s some nice v subtle ones available), bronze, etc. I think that could help brighten your skin up too.
fill in brows a bit more? They also get kind of lost to the monotone.
(Not an expert, just also in my early 30s and try to pay attention to stuff)
Give off that soccer mom vibe who still wants to be cool. Your close to that mom on mean girls who offers the teens condoms when their in the room.
Im not a mom, but if I was, I’d be a cool mom
That right there thats mom talk
If you’re asking how to look max I doubt you’d get good D lol had to
She was quoting Mean Girls, you dumb ass bully. Can't even catch your own reference, feh.
You have sharp features , not a bad thing they just look older
I’m not from here, but I’ve been working and living in Houston, TX for the past few years and I’ve noticed the Western cowboy attire makes the women here appear older. (Please note, people mostly dress that way for country themed occasions, not everyday wear…I was surprised, too).
I don’t see how people see you as 40+.. as for any advice other than that I’d say keep working out and eating healthy.
One of the easiest ways to make yourself look younger is by coloring your hair. Some multi dimensional highlights would brighten up your complexion. opt for balayage because you won’t have to get your hair touched up as often. If you are out in the sun often apply SPF and avoid tanning. There are tutorials on how to look younger with makeup and styling. https://youtu.be/Twk3iFeq4Ew?si=IjHsALj3pOV8wIet Wear bright colors, feminine pieces, show your décolletage with sweetheart or vneck lines.
Try fashionable cloth
Dye your eyebrows a light shade of brown Ditch the smokey eye/ black eyeliner on the waterline look Dressing younger will make you feel and look younger Changing up your hair, getting extensions to thicken your hair and a more trendy haircut will make you look alot younger Add facial massages to tighten your face
Also start using retinol in your skin care routine
Changing all the above will make you look younger Id say avoid tanning, use alot of sunscreen and incorporate retinol into your skin care routine. I don’t think you look like you’re in your 40s, you’re very pretty!!!
40? No. Whoever says that is blind. Not a day over… 39 lookin’
Lauggghh laugh laugh laugh laugh
If it bothers you look into Tretinoin or retinol products
2nd pic you looked younger. The 1st and 3rd just make you look very aged.
I always read unironic western wear as older generation style. Maybe that's it?
No way you look younger:)
Stress makes everyone seem older than they are. Don’t worry what others say. You look very nice at any age!
The hat. Lose the hat. It looks like you are at a bachlorette party for your friends 3rd wedding.
You can’t stop the hands of time, so preserve whatever you have and dress young and loose body weight
You looking good :)
You look great. Keep that amazing smile shining and you'll stay looking your age.
You're gorgeous don't let anyone tell you differently
Alcohol seems to be the one of the top things that make people look older. You may not even drink, but most women I know drink a lot.
Because those people are blind. You look your age, and you are stunning. And that's the truth.
Im 41. I would say you look around my age. Weight probably has most to do with it.
Your sweet as candy never mind the naysayers
too many nights out partying not enough nights enjoying the leisurely life of home making. 😂
on a more serious note you look fine. get more rest. get a little exercise everyday.
Collegen peptides are for everyone. biotin. multivitamin.
U look 45 to me sorry
I don't know how to put it, but you look like those people who once you meet you say 'I bet he/she has a good personality'
I think you look great, not a day over 25!
Do you drink a lot or do drugs? If so, work on sobriety. If not, work on the skincare routine.
Because your eyes look very tired and worn.
Your style, being overweight and your skin. Maybe try a good skin care routine 👍🏽
You look 51
Style? Weight?
More water, less alcohol.
dress younger
Definitely 40 something
You look stressed or at least tired
Lose 15-20lbs (not crash dieting - lift weights and 30mins of steady state cardio at least 5 days per week)...Opt for darker colors as the more dull or neutral colors wash you out a bit. Reds, dark blue/purple and of course, black. Smokey eyeshadow, less eyeliner (shrinks your eyes too much), learn to do a proper cheek contour and tight blush (Hailey Beiber is a good example) to highlight your cheek bones and to bring peoples eyes up. You have a beautiful face, but the chin, neck need work (which will just take time via diet and exercise)...I personally recommend eating animal based or at least keto. I've found it to be the most optimal way for fast recomposition in aging women. Please don't take offense to any of this. Simply here to offer genuine advice that will give you the look you're after.

Your face looks 40 is why. Maybe, you need to work on it by eating good veggies.
40 is being generous!
Your rhinestone outfit is cute

I’d say it’s your eye makeup, but you look like a down to earth country girl, wouldn’t say 40+.
Bad skin
I think it’s just the cowgirl vibes
yup. my thoughts exactly. cowgirls always look 5-10 years older to me. wonder why that is?

😆🤣 get that money
You look early 40s or late 30s. How old are you? Am I right?
It literally says on the post lol
I dont see 40. The only thing that shows age is your eyes but you have to really look close.
Very pretty, you look your age
Dress younger?
nothing to change, you look great and you look of your correct age, people are just weirdos.
Honestly, who cares. You are absolutely gorgeous
Listen to nicer people 🥰
Stop tanning. Don’t even use self tanner. Moisturize your skin every day.
If you look 40 you are carrying it well
Go with Forever 29.
Modernize your style. Your makeup and clothes are really aging you. I think you'd look younger with less orange skin as well.
Maybe it’s slightly drooping cheeks and regular massages will help?
It's 100% down to the way you dress. At least in these pictures.
I bet if you googled "preppy outfits" and then copied the first one you see that wears a tennis skirt, you'd look your age.
The dark eye makeup
I would have guessed early 30s so
Keep up the good work
Obviously all you need is a middle part stop hanging on to that side part it’s a tell
You look just fine as you are xxx
I think you look early 30’s. Just don’t know why you’d be told that. I think you’re very pretty.
All you need to do is ask someone different cause there is nothing wrong with you.
Sunscreen
Ma'am you look very young. Not a day over 30.
You do not look even close to 40
You don't look 40+
I definitely think it's your style. You look like most of your personal peer group is older which changes what you deem is cool/hip, swaggy. Maybe seek out a stylist or a friend that definitely fits the modern category that would be willing to assist. Other than that I am going to say the same as I do to almost everyone here, gym, sleep, water (more than you realize) and finally skincare. They will all help.
That 2nd outfit ages you a bit. You still look like you're in your early 30s to me. That cowgirl outfit, 😍😍😍
I'm 38 and at a glance I didn't get the vibe that you were older than me. Taking a closer look, you look about 30 to me.
Who cares how old you are? You’re cute. And I’m guessing somebody is very happy to have you.
You look about 20 to me

Just embrace tbh
Stop right there. You look 25 and have a smile that glows. Do absolutely nothing. You look gorgeous.
You kinda look like Britney so that makes me think you are older
-Exercise -Sleep your 8hrs. -Eat until you get full (not bloated) -Surround yourself with positive vibe people - Meditate/ yoga and have aroma therapy (incense) -Drink water -Love more -Try to stay organic when it comes to food
I hate to judge by looking at your pics. but your chakras look like they maybe blocked…
Swallow
It’s the eyes that look older
You do not look 40.. You look good for your age. A good 28-30 And your pretty
what? I thought you were in your 20s
U don’t look 40
your fine
28 -32 range
It kinda looks like you have Graves Disease, a thyroid condition, which causes the eyes to bulge. That is what ages you some in my opinion, however you do not look like you're in your 40's.
Smile with your eyes! 😄
Your eye make up style is very much a favorite of older women.
Can't stop the hands of time
Honestly its just your eyes, they give that older vibe.
I live you’re style
I think it's a sign a respect/maturity. You do not dress like a young girl. You dressed grown up and distinguished.
it’s your skin, are you using any skin care products? we all age differently and have different genetics.
Idk where you’re getting the 40+ because you definitely don’t look a day over 25. But maybe it is because your eyes show wisdom. But all in all you’re gorgeous, so I wouldn’t worry too much.
