Philippines
August 2, 2012 7:31am CST
I envy people with that characteristic. Old age yet have a young look, or baby face they said. I'm 24 now and when someone would ask me about my age and would answer them "im 24" they'll say "really?only 24?" with a face like "you look 30's." Anyway i don't feel bad about that because it si true i have a mature face hehe! Good thing my husband adores me for who i am! :) Hey how do you maintain such beauty?? share please.. :)

Yes I saw a women she has 4 children 3 girls and one boy and her two girls is married. She is 50 years old but no one can say she is 50 years old. Everyone says she is looks like 35 to 38 years old. Some time person are less age but see like more age and some time reverse.

hey debbygirl, Don't be too hard on yourself, take those comments positive, even take it as a challenge... If they thought you are older, maybe because they thought you are someone of higher authority so do everything that would maintain your status. It's funny that there are people who look young but are trying to look old or matured. Like me, I'm also 24 but people still look at me like I am a teenager. It came to a point where I wished I am older. I thought my young face was a disadvantage to me since I'm in the corporate world. So I grew my mustache and beard trying to look older to gain more respect. But I realized they would be more surprised to see a young man working exceedingly as compared to the other guys. See? You can see the world differently. You just have to know where to look at. Be happy and contented on who you are and what you will be. Don't be bothered on what people may say. Just enjoy life!

you know what debbygirl? God doesn't give us all, If He already gave you beauty, He may not give you the young looks. If He gave it all to you, life would be boring. Nobody's perfect after all right? cheer up!

I think it's rude that people would say that to you, that is far from a compliment in my opinion. Maybe they see wisdom/maturity in your expressions and that's why they think you're older? If so, that would be a compliment in my opinion. Confidence is beauty, just find ways of boosting your confidence and you'll be all set.

you are definitely right! I work here at the church, at my age i'm leading a group of people who is older than me, so i act so mature and with authority.That made some think sometimes that im one of their age. :)

In my husband's family most of the women are beautiful and some are cross the 50 years of age but not show more than 40 years. I always think how they maintain their figure and face. I heard proper sleeping is most important for maintain the body. Recently Amir Khan a Hollywood actor tell this in a program. His age is 50 but not seen such so 3 important point share with all first exercise, second proper sleeping and third diet.

Old age yet have a young look because they did not put any artificial things on their face, life face powder, make ups and all those things that most women use for their face. I my self doesn't use anything even face powder. I only use dove soap for my face when I take a bath and nothing else used even when I go to the office. Simple living as they say.

It was very funny when someone ask my mom is her age..she's 40 years old now but,they got shocked because my mother doesn't look like 40.they thought my mother was on 20 years old and they say,me and my mother looks like sisters...LOL!..and me,some people ask me why I dont have wrinkles,pimples,most of my friends got acne..and they thought I'm just 10 years old but I'm 16.I guess the answer is we always eat healthy food,we drink herbals everyday,we drink apple stemcells everyday,we use alkaline water. thats our secrets

I have a baby face also and people would say I look 15 but I am in my young 20s . I have a cousin and when we were teenagers she look like 28 and now she is only 20 she looks like 30 and she hate its so much . Genetic is have a big role . My BF is 25 and he looks like 16 to everyone he meets , people always asking for us to sow ID to get in places os its quite annoying because if we dont always walk with out ID we get denied from going into certain places . Even getting certain executive work they would ask us our age over and over and then say you sure look young and you may not get it because you have a child face and body . My boyfriend have to work harder than people even our age to not be treated as a child . I still go to school but and most my class mates look older than I am .

I generally surprise people with how old I am when they find out. There have been a few times in recent years when people have told me that they thought I was in my late twenties although I am just about to turn 40 now! I put this down to eating well and getting regular exercise as well as rest and reducing stress. I recently looked back at an old photo of me from when I did not look after my health so much and I thought I looked older then. I know that I definitely feel younger now than I used to.

Over the years age and time do so much to our skin. Some of us do do nothing to achieve thag young glowing skin while others struggle xconstantly trying everything. fortunately, I have one of those younger than your age faces and I do mominal moisturizing to keep it that way. When I was younger i was devastated if someone did not think that i was older. Niw i am pleased when my age is guessed too young.

I'll turn sixty on October but people say I still look young. I'm flattered with that but when I walk and limp without showing my face, I resemble that of an eighty year old.

Don't worry, you can care your beauty to make you look younger. You still have time now since you are 24. And remember don't make up strongly. One thing to make you look younger is your clothes. You should notice about it also. Luckily i look younger than my real age..simply i don't make up and i do care my face skin carefully, one more, i am always smile, feel happy.

The people who does not care much about beauty and never worries for things will have young face in their old age. Worries and feeling makes people to look as a old person.

My appearance is just so so, I don't look young, and I don't look old. Some film stars look young because they spend much time on beauty.I don't have much time for that. I won't try to change my appearance. I think being natural is beauty.

People never believe them when I tell them my age, usually when people ask, I don't tell them I say guess how old you think I am, I have been very flattered by their responses, they usually say early thirties, late twenties, or 35. When I tell them I am actually 41 years of age they are stunned or speechless. I have young skin, I look after my self, drink plenty of water and exercise regularly. I don't dress like a forty something either, so it confuses people! If you take the time to look after your body you will get results and the compliments for sure.

In that case, i think i am one of those people you envy. Whenever someone asked for my age, i would give them the opportuity to make a guess first before i told them, they usually came out with an age that is at least ten years younger than my actual age, they normally think that i am kidding them after knowing my real age, i just love to see the shock on their face every time i told them. You are right, this is one characteristic you and me need to envy greatly.

Maybe you are tall. Small people like me looks young because we have smaller faces. But anyway, it doesn't matter how we look. It is how we are loved

hi there debbygirl, with regard to your topic, i think it will be best to ignore those people. what important is, do something to enhance more your looks. perhaps, try to have some beauty tips on how to look younger. sometimes, we tend to listen from others opinion that makes us somehow worried. yet it is best to listen to our heart and keep in mind that we should look beautiful. smile always although a heavy situation is at your shoulder. though its hard but you must keep the faith alive. pray a lot, so God will guide you in everything, even in doing your beauty secrets. always be young at heart, from this, your mind will also feel young that can be shown to your face. thus, beauty is in your eyes.

But there is also a disadvantage of looking too young with age. People don't take you up seriously or your authority is diminished due to biases in looks. Same age people which looked older than you tends to regard you as a kid still. I do experience that one. I am supervising some very old operators in a manufacturing plant, and because of my young looks, they tend not to take me seriously until I get angry at them.

it is so good to keep a young face or baby face. someone who has baby face seems younger than real age. you can notice your face more, use some cosmetics to keep your face water-wet, it is very useful. and you can use some sun cream before you are out of home. and you will be younger. good luck
