What causes some women to age many years in a short period of time?

Question

It seems my best friend has aged at least ten years in only two ... what causes rapid aging?? Stress?

Answer 1

The sun does more damage than anything else, and a diet with too little fat.

The skin need fat and with the emphasis on being thin to the point just short of emaciation, we are getting a lot of stringy looking people at earlier ages.

Look at Kelly Ripa, not an ounce on her and shes looking like a piece of twine.

Yet shes on the cover of fitness magazines.  

Shes aged ten years in the past three.

A wee bit of plump keeps you young looking longer.

Answer 2

Has she been exposed to the sun? That can age people a lot and really quickly. Also generally some people age quicker than others.

Answer 3

getting married or having kids !

Answer 4

There are many factors to this.

Smoking and drinking are the primary factors. Medical experts have proven what these can do to any one not only women.

Stress plays a huge role as many women are left with the burden of raising a family on their own.

Often times life doesnt deal a fair hand and the experiences we've had ages us beyond belief.

I disagree with the answer of being a young mom. I was 15 when I have my first child 25 years ago. I am 40 years old and I dont look a day over 30.

Tanning can cause our skin to become tough and adds wrinkles.

We have to learn to take care of our bodies regardless of our age.
