I try to base it off on how my mom and grandma ages. My grandma on my dad's side is 85 and has no gray hair while my grandma on my mom's side has a head full of white hair. I noticed my mom didn't really get wrinkles/look old until she started being in her mid 50s. But she also overworks herself all the time. It also depends on your diet and lifestyle. My brother is balding sooner than when my dad was balding due to bad dieting.
Jeezo 25/30...your still all kids and shouldnt even be looking for wrinkles... although my skin has started to sag a bit at 68 I dont really have many wrinkles on my face..or maybe I need tae change my glasses... where I do notice though is my chest area that now has those orange peel sort of marks, so creams are important for this area too as well as your face.. oh and dont forget under your ears.. a place people dont think of and usuaully women start to have their hair shorter as they age so its noticed more in that area..... but lying to long in the sun caused this damage to me... thankfully not on my face.. but genetics plays a very big part... Ive seen much younger people with much worse skin...smoking is a big factor... too much alcohol and the sun... to cause premature aging..
This pretty well sums it up. Avoid alcohol, sun and smoking, and that's most of the battle, right there. The women in my family in my parents' generation all smoked and enjoyed the cocktail party circuit, and by today's standards, they aged prematurely. They also liked to sun themselves in their prime years into their middle years. My cousins and I looked much younger than our years, and we all avoided those things. We also get a lot more exercise than our parents ever got. Our parents' generation was very sedentary. My oldest brother was addicted to tanning all his life, and his face shows it. People, even my own more distant cousins, think he's my uncle when they see us together.
The area under your ears? What's that about? What happens there?

It's difficult to tell on mine.
My grandma looked decades younger than her age until she hit her mid 80s. My mom has smoked for so many years that that's thrown everything off. It's impossible to know how well she would have aged without the significant damage that one habit alone has wrought. There are very few things more prematurely aging than smoking.
I agree with the majority of the posters above - it is basically your genes. My grandma had a lot of wrinkles but only from the age of 75! My grandad on the other hand had very few and when he passed on at age 92 he had a few around his eyes only. My mom did not seem to age at all until she developed cancer in her jaw and then she had wrinkles brought on by stress but only on her forehead but she died when she was only 72. My dad passed on when he was 56 with wrinkles only on his brow. I have been blessed with no wrinkles on my brow, or around my eyes and mouth but a few on my neck and I am 70. I use a shea butter based product from Monsia Skincare - lovely and so good for my skin.
I look 40 and I'm 32 but just because I worshipped the sun and drank like a fish in my 20s. I had the time of my life and wouldn't take it back for the sake of vanity.
I think 35 is when you start noticing those stupid smile lines..thats the age it started bothering me....but it does mostly depend on genes and your lifestyle......I try not to smile..lol it helps! that's seems to be when all the wrinkles form when you smile.....

You try not to smile? I'm sorry but that is really dumb and also very sad.... I laugh as much as possible - my smile and character lines do not bother me at all. And by the way, frowning makes FAR worse lines...

I have the teensiest bitty light cross hatches partway under each eye if you look very close - I'm 48.
