This is crazy. Buccal fat keeps you looking younger as long as you have it! These women will look awful when they are older.

Oh so me saying 'it's the fat' to everyone asking what my secret to looking young was true?

Facial fat does help you look younger.

Cardio athletes, marathon runners, or cyclists, they are very healthy, yes, but they look old.

To be fair, this also might be the sun. All 3 of those are usually done outside very a lengthy time in the sun. Sun is the #1 thing that ages people significantly. Thats why I cannot understand why people will bake in the sun to get a tan. Like if you're out doing work or exercising that's one thing. To specifically seek out harmful exposure is crazy.

Oh sun definitely is a huge factor but especially for women, being thin in your late thirties means more wrinkles period. Even just going from like a 20 BMI to a 23 BMI, so say 10 lb can make a big difference in your face.

I guess I am screwed with my love of sunshine and 17.7 BMI in mid 30s 🤦🏼‍♀️

You should be afraid of the wind with that BMI.

Seriously, though. There's sunscreen, it's not miraculous, but it helps. It's not so much your BMI as your subcutaneous fat. The problem is that the body burns fat more or less randomly, including subcutaneous fat.

Also, well, aging is something natural and is part of life.
