    Not just women either! Both men and women look younger these days for sure. I know a lot of people pushing 40 that look 30 and the younger generations have baby faces in comparison to older generations.

    I look at my dad or grandpas when they were my age and they look so much older than I do!

    No complaints here but I do wonder why.
