You can often know if you'll age well by the signs of aging well which include having strong bones, fewer wrinkles, strong teeth, and you can maintain strength, balance and flexibility.

Often people with darker and thicker, oilier skin tend to age better and people with broad jaws and cheekbones and those with full lips tend to age well.

To help you age well you should ensure your physical, mental and emotional well being is good and incorporate exercise into your daily routine and eat a healthy balanced diet, avoid smoking and get enough sufficient sleep.

Also having a positive outlook on life and strong social connections and avoiding depression or reducing depression can help you age better.

Things that make a face look older are smoking, not using sunscreen, lines on your face, stress, dark circles, poor diet, poor sleep, natural aging, sagging skin, age spots and changes in your facial structure such as drooped jowls and receding hairline.

Also elastin becoming damaged can make your face look older as when the elastin is damaged it causes the skin to sag.

It's natural for the face to look older as we age and also genetic predisposition can make your face look older.

Using skin creams or having face lifts, plastic surgery or Botox injections can sometimes restore the face to a younger more youthful look.

The face shapes that age the best are the oval face shapes and round face shapes due to the natural volume as well as balanced proportions.

Round faces also tend to retain more of their volume in the cheek area, which contributes to a more youthful look for a longer period of time.

And oval faces offer versatility and are also considered attractive and age pretty well.

Round faces also store a lot of fat in the cheek area which can keep a person looking younger for longer periods of time as you age and a gaunt and also dull complexion takes longer to develop in round faces.

The rarest face shape is the diamond face shape.

A diamond face shape is a face shape where a person has a narrow forehead, wide cheekbones and also a narrow chin.

Diamond shaped faces are often narrower at the eye line and the jaw line along with high and often dramatic cheekbones.

Other rare and less common face shapes are oblong face shapes, kite face shapes, heptagon face shapes and teardrop face shapes.

The pyramid face shape is also an unusual face shape although it's not as rare as the diamond face shape.

Some other rare and uncommon face shapes are rectangular face shapes, triangular face shapes, inverted triangle face shapes, trapezoidal face shapes and hexagonal face shapes.

The oval face shape is often seen as the most attractive face shape.

The oval face shape is considered well balanced as well as versatile and it's proportions are even and makes it suitable for a wide range of hairstyles and makeup styles.

The square face shape is also an attractive face shape, that has defined jawlines and cheekbones and is often associated with strength and confidence.

Round face shapes are also attractive and has softer features which can be seen as youthful and approachable.

Heart shaped faces are also considered attractive and has wider foreheads and narrow chins, and can also be seen as feminine and delicate.

And the diamond face shape which is a rare face shape is also attractive and can be seen as dramatic and sculpted.
