Crow's Feet/Laughlines - What is average age to get these?

Lately I have been having a difficult time so to speak.

It's like suddenly everywhere I am seeing crows feet on people's faces. And I don't know if its because I am paying attention to them, or if because people around me are getting older.

Since I never bothered to pay attention to this back when I was in high school/uni, I don't even know what is normal anymore.

I know there is a difference between crow's feet and laugh lines. At the moment I am a bit more concerned about laugh lines.

Did we have these as teenagers? Or as university students? This might be an odd request, but if you have a teenager or university student, ask them to smile Smile

Do they have crows feet when they smile?

At this point I am more concerned of figuring out what is normal.

If we always had them guess my annoyance is subjective.

At what age do most people get the crows feet that appear only when smiling? Is it same age for male/females?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike

Yep its you paying more attention to them for sure. Not many youngsters pay attention to these things, but often times when you have worries over them you start to hone in on them everywhere and anywhere.

Now children scrunch their faces up all the times – my boys used to smile and squint about 100 times a day when they were toddlers and when the skin is younger it just snaps back. However usually 60 years into the future and it’s a different story. The skin isn’t as resilient as it once was, and usually its dealing with things like sundamage etc and of course mid life hormones start playing up too and that all adds up.

There isn’t a “normal” at all when it comes to skin and aging. Different people gain lines at different times depending on the state of their skin (how resilient it is) and how many times they make an expression etc.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Guess I am paying too much attention to it.

So even children and teenagers have crows feet during the smile. But it always snaps back. Well that's interesting to know.

I guess by normal what I mean is, what is the average age that most people start to get them? But if even children/teenagers had them, I guess they were always there. So is there an age when laugh lines starts getting more pronounced for most people and an age when it stops snapping back?

If you don't use sunscreen you will get them sooner. Crow's feet and laugh lines are the same thing. I never thought I had them until I saw a photo of myself laughing and was shocked! I was middle-aged though.
