When you look, some people age quicker than others. Even though they might have looked after themself, they don't have sun damage, their just face tends to fall, and often these people say, "Oh, you know, I'm aging like my mother, or I'm aging like my father," and it all boils down to what facial structure you're born with. People are born with those strong cheekbones, well-defined jawline, that supports the soft tissues.
