Why Asians tend to look younger?

[WadeWill]

Asians, no matter guys or girls, tend to look younger than their actual age. Any clever minds can solve this mystery for me?

Im Asian I dont know if it has something to do with our diet ( we eat rice, more veggies and less meat)
we have smaller body frame.. I live in Japan we drink lots of teas we have unlimited supply of green teas in our workplace.
most of our drinks here contains Vit. C
We eat raw seafoods ( shrimp, fish ) as Sushi's.. Seaweeds are served as salads..
Soya beans as tofu are also highly consumed here..

Diet has a lot to do with it.. fewer processed foods and so on

[Japanesebamboo]

yes true

They tend to have less facial and body hair. They tend to be more small/petite. They tend to slather themselves in sunscreen and do everything to keep the sun away, more sun exposure causes more sun damage. They also tend to eat better, and in better shape than other races.

[Japanesebamboo]

Genetics, better diet (including fresh foods and minimum preservatives), an emphasize to live a stress-free life and better skin management. Asians don't go out tanning like other people and they protect themselves better from the sun.

All that stuff is based on our frame of reference.. Maybe everyone else just looks old for their age? :)

Aaaaand boom goes the dynamite!

It's a stereotype which is funny as penis joke XD
Maybe you've never been to Asia, most Asians you see are from TV or anywhere like that, of course, they look younger with make up and Photoshop. Most Asians, especially southeast and some East Asian look older than their age to me.
And it has nothing to do with size. I'm big 187cm, but it doesn't stop me having a baby face XD

Their overall life style is better. They have good habits that benefits them a lot in this case. What I know is that they eat better and understand what makes you age, for example they stay away from direct sun beams, they don't stress their faces or open or close their eyes very intensely and they always are trying to strip away stress.

Their bone structure and facial proportions tend to give them a cuter/more youthful appearance. Then there is also supposedly something about their skin that allows them to age more gracefully.

Maybe they're not on the 'meat, sugar, refined wheat flour and chemicals' diet?

[sailorjupiter]

i think maybe because we are smaller than you?
and maybe our hair is darker?

Genetics. It's those genes, plus Asian food is typically healthier.

They are smaller, and smaller people tend to look younger regardless of race.

[scaramouche]

Our genes. And yeah our diet too I guess
