What are some things that make people age faster?

I was talking to someone the other day and I always thought she was at least 10 years older than me- maybe 15- based on her appearance. Turns out, she's the same age as me. I was kind of speechless. I don't really live a "healthy" lifestyle, unless coffee gives me my youthful glow. lol So, what could cause someone to look 10-15 years older than they are?

    Smoking, drinking, not eating right, not exercising, environmental factors, job stress, relationship stress, family stress, and genetics.

    Some people just have babyfaces. It catches up to everyone at some point tho.

    My observation is that the two biggest factors are sun worship and smoking.

    All of the above are excellent reasons why some people look older than their actual age.  The shape of the fact is also a factor.  Those with round faces tend to look more youthful.
