I think I was around 40 when I first noticed "crow's feet" wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. But maybe around 35 when I noticed more freckling. One summer, the sun just did more lasting damage than it had ever done before... I hadn't had so many lasting freckles appear. I knew I was getting older when.

35. I'm 38. I only noticed it when I saw pictures of myself. It was only around my eyes though, crows feet and bags.
I looked tired all the time.

Drooping eyelids in my late 40's, they were hereditary in my case. I also had black circles, that went away when the droopy eyelids were corrected. The black circles were actually shadows from the droopy lids. I'd had the lasered so many times, to no avail. The surgery took 10 years off me, but I was blessed with great skin, so I have no wrinkles even in my 50's, so the eyelid work made a dramatic impact.

I mentioned this to 3 of my girlfriends who are (48-53yo) and they all tell me that they've had similar experiences all within the last couple of years. They woke up one morning with a major sign of aging on their face that hadn't ever been there before. One suddenly had a double chin; another, overnight, got sagging jowls and droopy skin around her jawline; and another woke up to two very, very deep creases from the sides of her nose to her chin!!

Is this how it happens? I am 51yo. I and my friends are slim and have a healthy lifestyle. I always assumed aging was a gradual process, especially if you're in decent shape. I never thought you just wake up one day with your face changed for the worst.

What have your experiences, or the experiences of your friends been like? How old were you and what were the signs? To those of you who are older, is this how things progress--you periodically just wake up to discover significant changes to your face overnight?
I did not begin to age until my 60th birthday when I developed grows under both of my eyes which made it appear that I had bags under my eye(s)....

The 40's have been rather harsh for me. I used to look young for my age. The skin under my chin dropped. I am growing two whiskers and my eyes are sagging. My hair is thinning and my ear lobes are changing shape.
