Why do some people look younger than they appear to be?

Could be because of genes but it is possible to slow process by eating the right foods like vegtables, fruits, salmon, almonds and drinking around 2 ltrs of water s day, combine this with excercise and twice daily moisturizing face wash and moisturizer you should great for your age. A tip for getting easy daily fruit and vegtable intake is to buy a juicer, great for carrot juice etc... hope this helps.

NOTE:Added on by user Bucstop.com; Genes are about 100% of it, because I have eaten the poorest diet I can imagine and Im 44 and everyone says I look like im 26. I have had this all my life. When I WAS 26, I looked like I was still in High School. My senior high school picture looks like I was in middle school.

At 44, I hardly have any facial hair, have all the hair on my head (My foreline has probably receeded by about 1" since high school) and have never had crows feet.

The one outside factor I can think of is that I have worked in restaurants most of my life. Maybe the oil and grease have helped, but it doesnt explain some of the stuff Ive listed like High School, etc. I think its just how we are made.

Oiling your face and eating good cant hurt though.
