What Makes Someone Look Older?

Face Shape

The loss of elasticity thins the jawbone, narrowing the chin and causes the chin to droop.

Forehead

Forehead lines appear when one tries to hold the brows and eyelids up to counteract these changes.

Crow's Feet

Crows feet are wrinkles at the corner of the eyes that appear after years of squinting, laughing, and smiling.

Lower Face

The muscles of the face, called “laugh lines”, are attached to the skin along the nasolabial line.
